I love the wrestling boots! Then again I am quite a wrestling nerd

piratefairy

paha, thanks alex!

Mia, I do agree that whilst i;m a great lover of all things primark, i think there are times when I have to sift through all sorts of rubbihs, and things i'd never wear, before finding anything lovely..the bargains can totally be worth it though!

Alexnikov

Ooh Mia, I didn't notice your post. I'm heading to Primark at the weekend in search of more jersey maxi skirts. Definitely going first thing though as it's carnage at the weekends.

I also need dull plain stuff like shirts and some trousers, so am taking mum with me cos she has a good eye for that kind of thing. I think I tend to tune it out in favour of patterned stuff.

piratefairy

i always do that - totally favour prints over plains, and then end up with things which don't go

Wearing matching shoes today, black brogues. grey suit, black shirt red and gold floral tie, red socks, red knitted waistcoat (freezing here - halfwit staff member who was on lates on Thursday turned of the heating and the office has been shut from then until today).

Hello guys. PF I LOVE the wrestler boots. I want a mexican wrestler mask (as a decoration, rather than to wear) desperately.

I officially have laryngitis (sp?) so I am officially off sick, today's stylish outfit is one of the Aussie's t shirts and grey tracky bums. Being ill and having an empty flat is giving me some crafty time though. On Sunday I made a sock monkey and yesterday evening I made one of these http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog/2009/12/diy-pom-pom-necklace-scarf.html

Today I am teaching myself how to crochet between snoozes, so it's not all bad at all.

Hope you are all okay x

Rainy, I think I have one! Let me rummage tonight...

ETA - I'm so going to have a go at the pom pom necklace! I had no idea it was that easy to make them - I've only ever done it the long winded way by wrapping wool round a cardboard shape.

piratefairy

oh i love it, rainy!! i didn't realise there was an easier way to make them either, but i used to love making pom poms!

i've found a knitting group nearby, on wed eve's, which i'm trying to muster up the courage to go to

Alexnikov

Go Char! Then you can teach me, haha. I am hopeless at knitting.

piratefairy
