More unpointy ramblings...

[susie_flo]

Hello fiendlets, it appears to be Friday afternoon.  Hoorah and all that!  I hope you are all planning lovely weekends for yourselves.  
   
I feel inexplicably blue today.  And not a pretty blue like Wedgwood or a fabulous vivid one like ultramarine....  I am more like a rubbish 80s stonewashed jeans kind of blue.  (Not in a slit my wrists kind of way... just a bit subdued).
 
There is really no explanation for this, given that I have 3 days off work next week and some lovely birthday-related plans for the weekend.    My top challenge for the next 5 days is to NOT think about work.... at all.  It must be banned from my head.  Will somebody please slap it out of me? 
 
Failing that, I might go and stroke some yarn, that will make me feel all nice...  (that and lolcats.)   
         
So, moving onto more pleasing things...   a while ago I made a test knit of my bare tree design...  right now it's just a knitted square, but I am finally getting around to doing something with it.  I might see if I can use my days off to turn it into a floppy, lined bag for carrying books around...   
    

 
If it works out, I might even write this up into a pattern (...as part of my master plan to become a hopeless and underpaid designer.) 
 
On other topics, have just started listening to a band called Rasputina on Spotify.  Apart from having a fab name, they use strings, which is like a secret weapon as far as I am concerned...   (they had me at Cello).  It's all a bit gothette for my usual taste though... whaddya think?
 
Oh... G  has just put on Placebo's cover of Daddy Cool!  Instant happiness!  :-D

Rasputina! They're great.

I had a feeling you might have heard of them :-)

There were recommended to G on Spotify (along the lines of "you're clearly a big gotho muso... you're bound to like these!")

I can just never resist the sound of a cello...

Oo, yes, Rasputina are good. Strange, but good.

Well that's two votes for them... I shall listen with gay abandon!

You're feeling subdued becasue none of the good things (and the all-important time off) have happened yet. Come back to us on that in about three days.

The bare tree design is lovely, and eminently scaleable.

Wise words... I think you may be right. I already feel better and it's only Saturday :-)

This morning I've decided that happiness is American style pancakes with blueberries, maple syrup, veggie bacon and sausages... [insert Homer Simpson noise here]

Thank you for encouragement re: the tree design... (I might post again once it has turned into something.)

Another yay for the bare tree design - I know it wouldn't have the same texture but I could see it working really well printed on fabric and used as a notebook cover.

That's a really nice idea... it would work as an embroidery.
