Needles n bits....

I finally got my collection of knitting needles organised!

They have been sitting around in a bag in a jumbled mess for ages now and when I had a big clearout of the 'workroom' i decided they needed a bit more TLC so i made a proper home for them. After a good rummage through my fabrics i found a big piece of teacup-printed fabric, woo! One long phone conversation with my mum about the workings of a knitting needle roll some careful measuring and not so careful sewing later...voila...a new home for all those needles n bits!

They're now all laid out in size order n everything. I would highly reccomend the making of one of these to anyone who knits. I loved making this so much in fact there might even be a how to in the next sugar paper.

I un-made a shop, but made myself more emo!!

a year and half ago I made a sweet shop. I enjoyed my sweet shop, fun times were had, lots of dancin and cakes and all that jazz, lots of young emo admiration from my teen customers. But all good things come to an end. being in the building for 5 years/not making enough money/sick of working 6 days a week (7 over Christmas, shoot me now) made me think it's time to go little sweet shop!

I must say I am enjoying my home time, pottering around, writing crappy zines and watching lots of my so-called life, good times! oh and getting pierced for free, yes I am now sporting a lip piercing, how EMO!!

12 zines in one year...

so I (Seleena) have decided that 2009 is the year I make 12 zines. I reckon there will only be like one half decent zine amongst the lot, but I'm still going to try anyway.
I'll keep you posted....

EMO top trumps...

I made these babies aaaaaaaaages ago*, but forgot about them (kinda) until I whipped 'em out on the train ride home from Mika Miko (aceXcore) last night. they are a highly enjoyable pack of top trumping action!

*way before Rock Sound had 'rock top trumps' free with their issue like last month, pfft

sometimes I just want a hug....

I made a Halloween outfit, I was a Tara McPherson painting, yeah I know!!!!

You make me want to crochet....

Yes, i have finally made something sugar-paper-blog worthy.

I learnt to crochet properly just over a year ago but didn't get any further than basic chains and one sphere, woo! The other week i invested in the amazing 'Amigurumi' book by supacool Anna Obaachan.

I refreshed my memory of crochet and learned how to read crochet charts straight away, it's a really well made book with very good easy to follow instructions, which is exactly what i need!

Two weeks later here is my first creation...'skinny sleepy cat' as it is called in the book.

"YAWN...I'm so slepy"

" I suppose i'll have to get up if i want some chocolate biscuits...my favourite food, mmm."

I think i'm going to try the elephant next, watch this space!

Excuse My Obsession...

OK so I'm not 15 anymore, yet it seems I'm knocking out a different zine every week (mega LOLZ)!!! this here is my brief guide to EMO music, ah yes!

perhaps I should find new hobbies.....

I'm back off to the sofa now to continue watching EMO day on MTV2, sweet!
