bits and pieces

i made a crochet wire thing earlier this month, and it didn't work, it was supposed to be a beaded necklace, but wasn't heavy enough. so i thought i might make it into something else. so i think i might use it to embellish a bag. so i needed to buy some white fabric. i went to remnant kings and got almost a metre of sparkly organza for 91p, some bog standard curtain lining, which will be excellent for lining bags for £1. and some white fake linen for less than £2. and a big piece of white lycra for £4. it was priced at £7 something, which was half price, but it was a bit dirty, so I asked, and got it for £4. it will make fantastic knickers, or swimsuit lining, not quite sure what to use it for, it will stay in the stash for a while, I guess.

i want the house to myself to do the sewing though, i can't really work unless i'm on my own. don't want an audience.

never mind, i'm going spinning tomorrow.

i've uploaded a few pictures to flickr today, took ages, the wireless connection we have is so much crap. must try and lean how to fixc it.

and over the course of today, i have eaten 8 chocolates from a thorntons box. ooops.

i've done the first leg on my elijah, he needs to be done by about a week on wednesday.

speaking of a week on Wednesday, the parent council thing i was going to has been cancelled, so i will be able to go to knitting, two weeks in a row, hooray!

i have much more to say, but i have had 3 glasses of wine, and as a result, i need my bed more than i need to update LJ!

but i have remembered today that i really do enjoy my children. no more no less, i just enjoy them.

and speaking of swimsuit lining

(which i mentioned briefly in the last post)...

i will look MUCH better in a swimsuit this year than last. the pseudo boob will not be that noticeable. at worst i will look like i have a flat or inverted nipple, and one boob smaller than the other, which was true last time i wore a swimsuit, except that it was the opposite side. but what will be more noticeable is that i won't have the "apron" which is a horrible term, but what the nurses used in the hospital, so i will too, of unmovable fat in my lower abdomen. i have a very flat lower abdomen, and it will look nice and flat in my swimsuit. there are compensations, you know. if you're looking for positivity, just look at my tummy.

just another reason i would recommend anyone in need consider a tram flap reconstruction.

shame they couldn't do anything abut the circumference of my thighs...
