Heat Magazine and The Oscars.

Hello!

We are back from Miami where me and my mum and my brother had THE MOST AMAZING five day holiday of all time. Even Mr Elephant got a tan. After 15 years of religious american TV watching it felt like I had come home and between shopping and lying on the beach it was the best holiday ever.

I did try to knit on the beach but got A LOT of strange looks so I have fallen behind on my knitting but tonight i plan to go knitting crazy while staying up to watch the oscars. I have seen pretty much every single film nominated tonight so I literally couldnt be more excited and just for fun I have decided to do my version of who I think should win.

Best Poem Ever

Went to the Zoo.
I said to Him—
Something about that Chimpanzee over there reminds me of you.



This always cheers me up.

Valentines Princess

I have finally done it, it has been my dream since i was four and I am proud to say I have finally made... THE BARBIE CAKE! It may have taken about four hours of baking, crying, failing, smooshing, squeezing and dipping my hair in a substantial amount of icing but it was SO worth it.

I started out by planning to make a circular flat cake and a rounded cake to stack on top of each other to make the dress - this did NOT work. The flat cake worked perfectly (the cake inside is also pink) but the dome shaped cake completely fell apart so in the end I had to stick together lots of small parts of cake to try and form a dress shape and then quickly cover them in more pink icing than you have ever seen in your whole life, before anyone noticed.

I think if I never do anything again in my life this will definitely count as my lifetime achievement. I am so proud!

on another note... the baftas were very interesting/boring and although I did love the Kings Speech and was SO glad that Colin won, I thought some of the others should have won as well, ESPECIALLY the absoulutely incredible 127 hours.

I hope everyone had a lovely valentines day.

Valentines Love

Hello :D 


Sorry I have not blogged in a while. It has been a super busy week but not to worry I have still been knitting! And in proper valentines day spirit I have been knitting lots of little pink hearts. There so quick to knit and I am going to give them as valentines day presents to everyone I love! I found the pattern on this AMAZING website (http://mochimochiland.com/2007/02/free-pattern-hearts/) and its really nice and easy and you can customise them and even give them little faces. 

As well as knitting, this year I have been watching loads of amazing movies and have seen some of my favourite movies of all time this year (kings speech, 127 hours, black swan, etc). So tomorrow I think I will do a blog on some of them. 


I hope everyone is having a great weekend and if you decide to make one of the hearts please send me a picture!

Love Scarlett


p.s. here is a picture of my incredible cat in his new bed 

Mr Elephant

Mr Elephant is my newest and favourite creation. He is mostly my favourite because I made up the pattern for him myself! This is my first pattern I have ever made up so he is nowhere near as good as some of the professional ones but for a first attempt I am very happy! He is really tiny and has little sleepy eyes and a pink smile. Elephants have always been one of my favourite animals and I love Dumbo so that is why I wanted to make an elephant. He is also made of grey cashmere which means he is SO soft and cuddly.

Please give me your comments and tell me if you like him or not! And if there are any knitters who want to make him I can send you the instructions. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Love Scarlett and The Elephant.

Going to the country for the weekend, I will try to blog but we have awful internet so I may not be able to (how will you survive!) I am going to spend my weekend knitting though so I will have lots of new and lovely little friends to show you on Monday. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Keep Calm and Knit On.

Today has been a big day for me (knit-wise) because I have invented my first patter! YAY! Unfortunately it's not finished yet so you will have to wait another day before you get to see my brand new invention. I will also blog the pattern so other people can make it too. For now I will just post some pictures of random other little things I have made that have not earned their own blog post.

Princess Molly - I made this doll from a kit over one weekend. She's very pretty but quiet because she was not born with a mouth.

It was also a huge day for my family because it was the launch of Red Nose Day! I will blog about the special red nose day knitting thing I am doing in a few days but everyone remember to buy your nose and your T-shirt and to do something funny for money.


And just remember... If you ever feel sad or scared...

And also remember... TOMORROW'S FRIDAY. 

Love Scarlett
