this afternoon whilst in N London I had time to kill before an appointment, and wandered into The London Bead Company. I wasn’t expecting much, but it was one of those shop that seem like Alladin’s cave; they keep unfolding more and more things the further you go in. It’s a combination of bead shop [...]
London Life
How lucky…
is it to know someone who makes furniture? How lucky is it that he has time to make me one? Very!… I can’t wait…Oh yes, and he’ll have his own brand new website soon too! :)
Cat Lights
Visited the Craft Night club in Notting Hill on Monday… got a bit obsessed by the cat lights on the walls…We arrived too late to get the craft pack but it was fun to see what other people had painted.. Highlights of the evening were seeing John Hegley perform, and meeting Eithne Farry (she wrote [...]
Happy New Year!
Wishing you all a great, fun, happy, productive, healthy 2007… Have got lots of plans already so let’s see how they pan out… :)There’s the age old less chocolate, caffeine & alcohol (going to make Jan 2007 entirely alcohol free I think) and more yoga, cycling, walking, reading, drawing, visiting friends, travelling, gardening, craft things… [...]
Christmas in the city
Spending Christmas time at home… It’s cold and foggy with pretty lights and empty streets… I love London… : ) ‘Paternoster’ by EJ Frink
simple seems to = £££
Ok, it’s probably a bit of a fashion victim kind of bike, but I love it.. it’s exactly the kind of bike I would draw if I just closed my eyes and imagined it (although it would have a wicker basket on the front!)yum….
busy like a bee….
You know that feeling that your day is already full and you couldn’t possible squeeze in another minute to do anything? and yet somehow there *is* time to do everything… Other days you have ages to get one tiny thing done – and don’t… time is a mysterious thing…. So anyway… I was up at [...]
Halloween bowling!
Not normally one for going out on a Sunday night – especially after a busy weekend – but I make an exception for the monthly London Roller Girl night at Bloomsbury Lanes… so much fun! A bunch of the Actionettes dressed up in our air hostess outfits with added ‘crash’ damage (not particularly tasteful as [...]
Autumn amble in Kent
Today was such a beautiful sunshiny day we set off with the book of South London walks and caught the train to Kent… only one stop past Herne Hill it felt like the countryside already, and by the time we arrived in Farnborough (Village, not the place where they have the airshows) it was hard [...]
Treasure in the River…
Just spent one of those happy days where you’re pleased to be living in the big city… We went into town for lunch at the Photographers Gallery looking at photos of the Rif in Tangiers… Went over the LGC for my Block Printing Colour fix (new favourite paints) and somehow a box of Caran D’ache [...]
Roller Girls!
The Actionettes had been in touch with the London Roller Girls about maybe doing some dancing for them, and last night we went to one of their benefits at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes. It was so much fun! Amazing venue with booths, a stage, slippy dance floor, bowling lanes, table football, Meantime beers, cool cocktails [...]
Busy week, busy weekend…
Have been working up in town for the past week so excuse my lack of updates… However before that, I managed to finish off Cyd! yay… only took..er… a year to complete :) On Friday Mr HDIF put on a gig at Jamm where both I’m From Barcelona, and Suburban Kids With Biblical Names performed. [...]
