Happy weekend

Have a happy weekend. Here are some nice things:

The coolest kitty ever. Found here.

Paper & Chain's new Solitaire necklace. Beautiful! From here.

The Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the Tate Modern. I would love to go.

The Scout & Catalogue S/S12 lookbook is stunning.

Oh Knit! super sample sale. Amazing bargains. Oh yeah!

Have a super duper weekend.

Taking a break.

Oh Knit! will be taking a back seat in my life for a while. I feel that my knits aren't what I want them to be anymore. I want them to be more cohesive and I want to branding to be fresher but it isn't something I really have the time or the money to do at the moment. I need to concentrate on getting some real work and finding a house to buy and then obviously moving house and settling in.  I will be selling off all of the samples I have at very bargainess prices in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled.

  I promise that Oh Knit! WILL BE BACK in time for Autumn 2012 though as I have some great ideas for it.

January

Phone pics from January.

1, 2, 3 & 4. Thorpeness 5. My new Narwhal plate 6 & 7. Camera shy pets 8. Early daffs 9. Crystals in the window.

I have been pretty boring recently and not done much. We are spending our weekends house hunting which is really exciting but not really blog worthy.  Also it is far too cold to be out and about too much but I have found a local pet centre that sells Pygmy Hedgehogs so we are planning a visit there soon. Cute!

Tattoo

I'm hoping to add to my tattoo collection this year 

(I have a large new school one on the top of my back) so I have been perusing the world wide web for some inspiration. There are some seriously rad tattoo's around.

❤Sarah McNeil's Pet Portraits❤

I would love one of these for every last one of my past and present pets. That is probably about 30 if you include all of the Dogs,horses, Gerbils, Rabbits, hamsters, cats, and the Guinea pig we shared our lives with.

Menagerie

One of my most favourite humans (my boyfriend), bought me Menagerie by Sharon Montrose for Christmas. It is possibly definitely the best book I have ever owned.

Menagerie is full of Sharon Montrose's minimalist animal portraits, most of which are framed in beautiful and imaginative ways, and all pulled together with illustrations by Julianna Swaney. Perfect really!

It makes me ever more eager to expand my own menagerie, which is currently standing at one rabbit. One day I will add dogs, more rabbits, birds, ducks, chickens and pigs to the list. One day!

Happy new Year!

I hope you had a wonderful New Year. I spent mine in Thorpeness, a whimsical village in Suffolk where ten of us hired a cottage and had a pretty relaxed time.

I'm really glad 2011 is over. It wasn't the best year. I really hope 2012 brings more opportunity and excitement. I'm not really one for making unachievable resolutions so this year I have just set myself two fairly easy but productive goals.  The first is to be generally less lazy and more organised and the second is to finish all of my unfinished craft projects and design and knit lots more samples or Oh Knit!

Merry January 1st 2012!
