Feeling Crafty

If there is one thing I am ruddy loving at the moment, it is crafting. It seems I am not alone-the whole of London is practically feverish about cross stitch, DIY jewellery and the like. No longer an activity to mock your Mum about, in the days of poverty and 'staycations' now we can get truly creative and make-do-and-mend to produce one-off, super original things! Beats spending your hard-earned pennies on beer every night, doesn't it? Here are my pics from 'Craftacular' held one lovely afternoon in Bethnal Green...

Summer Memories 2: Santa Maria di Castellabate, Italy

Italy is one of my most favourite countries. This year I went with four close friends. Style highlights? The usual tartan, heart-shaped sunglasses, a buttermilk Fiat Panda called Marigold, Steggy the inflatable dinosaur, equine accessories, 'nightdresses' for an evening out and a whole lot of D&G-style leopard print from me...

Summer Memories 1: the Relentless Boardmasters Festival in Sunny Newquay

Oh Summer - 'tis all but over. What fun was had, so many parties frequented, so much outdoor fun always. Here I remember with longing through the medium of photography. Join me on a whirlwind tour of sunny fun. Friends and colleagues who want me to post pics on Facebook, you will probably find yourselves somewhere in this Summer Special-the 'Simple Uploader' is far, far too slow for me to be bothered with. "Slower than a slug wearing a rucksack" as my friend Claudia would say.
