a mini festival

It's been a busy weekend around these parts. We held a mini glastonbury at our house (called glastoncrescy as we live on a crescent) so those of use that weren't going this year could watch the coverage and have that summer festival experience, (without the rain, mud & portaloos of course!)

It also gave us a chance to decorate the flat, and we went all out (angela even made a wigwam in the hallway!). Here are some pictures taken before it all kicked off:


Much better than the real thing i reckon!

a few new bits

floral tin from oxfam - 79p (i think i'll use it for storing thread & ribbon


pretty little fat bird - 50p (i like to hold him in my hand)


this bow was from a stall at glastonbury - it was the only one there that looked a bit like old ladies curtains so i had to have it.


these finger puppets were £1 each from glastonbury.
i wish, i wish, i wish i knew how to make them - there were so many there (derek bought a yoda one). if anyone has any knitting patterns for cute finger puppets or any links to any then please let me know and i'll be ever so happy!

10 good things

the 10 best things about glastonbury



1. bjork & bright eyes & arcade fire (& shirley bassey)

2. being able to wear anything you like without feeling silly (bright orange rain poncho anyone?)

3. exploring the greenfields and disovering amazing things: an ark, seesaws, swinging chairs, giant wicker people...etc

4. lots of different food everywhere you turn: crepes & soup & garlic bread & liquorice & free hare krishna supper.

5. visiting the silent disco and taking your headphones off to hear everyone singing along to nothing.

6. crocheted granny blankets from the oxfam stall

7. watching people roll in the mud (but standing well out of reach)

8. trying to invent new dances where you don't need to move your feet as they are stuck in the mud.

9. everyone in the site cheering when the sun pops out for 5 minutes.

10. spending time with friends & not having to think about work or things that need doing all weekend.
