I am finally the proud owner of one very cute pink teddy bear! Cue me looking slightly demented with my first ever knitted toy. Not bad for a first try if you ask me :)) Ok, so he might not have eyes and my mom is convinced his nose should be black instead of a weirdy kind of ginger but I can't wait to pop a big pink bow around his neck and present him to my best friend on her 21st birthday! Hoping to find him a nice pair of eyes tomorrow when in Birmingham so fingers crossed! As for the black nose, my mom probably has a point as usual so it's subject to change.
Knitted a load of icord flowers this week also and tried out several different techniques on them all but I think the original (photographed in a previous post) is the best so far. Managed to get my hands on some glitter in the kids section of Tesco - 3 for 2 wahey! Slightly embarrassing that I'm 20 years old but whatever.
I need to get a move-on with the jams and chutneys I plan to make with the cooking apples gathered on Sunday. My brother, Baz, used some yesterday in his A Level Food Tech lesson during a jam making practical with strawberries and the finished result is delicious, if not a little dangerous as I haven't done any physical jerks in over a week!
Finally, I start my new job tomorrow in the city centre and I'm so excited to get started. Full-time work is going to take a bit of getting used to after two years at university, though I'm sure I'll adjust :) especially when fancy clothes and money are involved, I'll take like a duck to water...
And now, off up the road to my friend Rach's for a catch up with her and Rosie but I must be a good girl and come home early-ish - I'm a working woman now! We stayed up chatting and gossiping until 6am last week, can't be making that a regular occurrence!
Loves, Miss Cooksey x
