home alone

Not the film with McCauley Culkin, but me, I am home alone with only my snoozing cats for company. Mr Monda is soaking up the sun (and plenty of beer at a guess) in Malaga on a stag do with his friends (not his stag do incidentally!). He called me to tell me that it's 27 degrees out there and really sunny. Doesn't really compare with our 10 degree rainy day does it. Still at least I don't have to feel guilty about spending time on the computer and sewing machine.
I can never really be bothered to cook for myself if I'm on my own though - so I end up eating easy food for one (like scrambled eggs). I love cooking but it doesn't really seem worth it for just one person.

I'm going to do a shop update tomorrow - with brooches and a new monster or two (depends how much I get done today).
This is one of my latest brooches - made using a pink felted jumper - I tried a closeup pic so you can see just how lovely this felted jumper is:
I also received the wool knitted felt which I ordered from Torbay Textiles:
It varies in thickness and feltyness and is quite nice. The only thing I would say this felt is that it is not sold in very big pieces which is a shame (9x15cm).
This is not so much of a problem though because I'm kind of hooked on felting old woolen jumpers now - I get excited when the washing machine has finished and i can check out what the jumper has become! Sad I know.
