Well hello there...

Here are my ramblings about nothing in particular. You're about to be bored by notes and pix on my obsessions with and addictions to op shopping, crochet, polka dots, beads, vintage fabric or other treasures. Stay a while and enjoy and come back sometime.

...more dots.


These are the most gorgeous polka dotted ceramic ware from the Diana pottery. Most of the other items from this manufacturer are incredibly daggy, but hey aren't these cool? I also have a yellow bowl and a jug and I they also come in pink. Too cute!

FOUND - polka dotted mugs at ALDI




Who would have thought? Super cheap & super groovy polka dotted mugs! I am loving them sick. The only problem is that they came in a pack of four with three other red & white patterns so I have to think of something very creative to do with the others that don't quite cut the mustard in the grooviness stakes. Must dispose of extra mugs before taking them home as husband probably won't be that impressed with the wastefullness of my mug expedition at Aldi. He just doesn't understand how important red and white polka dotted mugs are and how we must have a few of them in the house at the very least.

Sorry, but I fell off...


Yes, I know I'm a new bloggie and I have been a little bit slack at posting anything. does anyone care anyway? I do, as I've been meaning to write something but I was feeling a little bit sick 10 days ago and I FELL OFF MY CROCHET HOOK. Yes, astounding I know but it is very much possible. Just couldn't crochet for at least two weeks which was really bad. But don't get too worried now as I'm back with a vengeance and am into experimenting with a ripple crochet pattern from Lucy at Attic24 so am madly rippling away in any bright colour I can gather.

By the way I did finish my knitting project - the green cropped cardie pictured. It was my first attempt at knitting from a pattern and I'm pretty happy with the results but luckily you can't see too much detail. It's even getting cool enough to almost become open slather cardie season so I'll actually be able to wear it.
