last post before... you know...

hello!
this will probably be the last post before i get married on friday. woo hoo! i have been terrible at posting recently, you can imagine how my time has been taken up! but i have been around, reading people's blogs and seeing how other normal people live their lives as a little reminder of what my life might be like in a couple of weeks : )

today is our last day of relaxing before the big W, we're going to go on a picnic and pack for the honeymoon. i'm also going to do a bit of knitting! there hasn't been much of that lately so it will be nice.

here's what i've been working on...
it's a fun knit. as i've said before, i'm enjoying the moss stitch and i like the way the bear is coming together. i think the pattern has a few mistakes though, which don't seem to be on the debbie bliss corrections page. i'm wiggling my way through it making it make sense my way. i'm pretty sure, for example, that the leg i've knitted fits as shown in the picture, thus is the left leg. what do you think? funny that the pattern calls it the right leg, i can't make it fit properly that way...

"hello!" he's such a cutie i suspect it's going to break my heart to give him away. but the little baby girl who's getting him really deserves it, poor thing took 3 days to be born! yikes...

so today i'll be knitting his left leg, as the pattern calls it, but that i'm hoping will end up looking a lot like his right leg!

i'm also going to cast on for something new, possibly a clapotis. i'm going to raid my stash for something to take away but i'm thinking a clapotis from my hip knits silk will be good...

so that's been my knitting as of late. i thought bear would take a week max, but life won't let me have things my way at the moment, too much else going on... my only knitting moments have come during snatched moments of TV watching, mainly the world cup, and the occassional film, like when we watched the wedding crashers on friday - very funny! and made me think jen might be better off with vince, he seems very funny...

things stopping me knitting recently have been... my hen night last weekend. normally i would knit in the car for half of the 4 hour journey, but i drove the whole way there and back this time, so no knitting time. and because i usually knit for half of the journey i pay no attention where i am, which meant i spent half the drive saying to my sister 'this doesn't look familiar at all...'. it was a fun ride!

i just wanted to show a photo, mainly to show what my mean mum and sister did to me!

that's my mum and sister. and yes, i am wearing a bride to be sash (it flashed...) and a crown with my name on it. i'm a classy lady...

shame, underneath the dress was lovely! and i was particularly pleased with it because i took the straps up myself in one of my first ever sewing sessions. i don't think i'll be getting into sewing any time soon, i sewed myself way too many time for it to be considered fun!

anyway, we had a fun night and i was spoiled to another hen night with my friends from work last week too. we went to the comedy store in leicester square and laughed our socks off. highly recommended to anyone in the london area, it's a brilliant night.

well, that's all from me really! i'll be away for a few weeks now, a month really, as i go and become a missus and then indulge in some serious relaxation! i will be back with a normal life soon though and promise i'll blog much more frequently than i have in the last couple of months.

hope you all have a good month! enjoy the sun that's FINALLY here!

and see you soon!

ps. wanted to leave with some shots of my garden because i'm pretty proud! but the photos function on blogger just seems to have crashed... a shame, my geraniums are fab right now. ok, i'll go watch them instead...
