Good grief its been a busy 2 months. I've been on prac for 4 weeks,
and I did 2 weeks in ICU (Awesome and fun and I loved it!) and then I
did 2 weeks at a psychiatric hospital in a locked ward (Stressful and
different and I felt out of my depth) But, I liked both of them. I
learnt a lot and I feel like I've settled back into real life with bad
grace. I miss the fun and busyness of prac!
My crafternoon and I are very excited, because we've just launched out Etsy shop! We're the
Cyborg Goats Crafternoon Society, and while we're currently very new, hopefully people will flock to our page as soon as some other people put up items :)

In crafting news, I've been knitting away on a few projects, as well as scrapbooking for the first time ever.
This hideous beast is
Grannie's traditional tea cozy,
in what is possibly the worst colour scheme I've seen in awhile. The
lighting and shittiness of my camera don't do justice to the brightness
of the green. Unfortunately, its a commission piece. My boyfriend's
mother asked me to make it for a friend of hers, and I can't discuss the
colour with her, because she jetted off to the UK the day after giving
me the project. I'm watching the fabric grow, and its not getting
better. I knew as soon as I started that it wasn't going to work, and I
would normally have abandoned it there and struck out for more tasteful
choices, but I must power through.
And this little jumper here is
Diplodocus, a dear little jumper for the lovely Oscar, who's 1st birthday is just around the corner!
I'm working in Loyal, 100% Wool superwash, which I must say is making it EVEN HARDER to work on the ghastly monstrosity above.
While
it is still very bright and a little hard on the eyes, it is vastly
better than the tea cozy, which is strange considering that they're
essentially the same colour scheme.
Who knows. Its coming along quickly, thought I may have to use a back-up present on the actual day.
His
Mummy is coming back to work next week, which is very exciting for
those of us who've missed her around the shop. It should also help with a
bit of the grumpy thats been happening at work recently.
In
other birthday news, I turn 21 on June the 8th, which is exciting and
stressful all at once! The idea of having to be a responsible adult is
not a happy one, but hopefully nobody will make me stop skipping and
watching cartoons.
I'm having a party, which is themed
NANNAGGEDDON. Can't wait! I'm sure there will be a lot of crochet, and I
will definately post some photos of the final decor :)
