It's so sad how I haven't posted in agessss :(
My friend, Hannah, reminded me that a new post is needed (thanks Hannah! :D)
So what have I been up to recently? Wellllll...
Last Saturday I went to Leicester with my friend Gracie :) we went to a book shop where I bought a knitting book called 'Knitting Mochimochi' by Anna Hrachovec... it tells you how to make AMAZING knitted toys, etc... I'm currently knitting what is called in the book a 'Love Muff' but which I have renamed 'Hand-Warmer', due to a bit of teasing whilst I was happily knitting in the common room at school :/ haha. Anyway, it's one of those long tubey things that do the same thing as a pair of gloves. Google it. Next on the agenda- slippers that look like animals xD. I have had so many people coming up to me going 'make me this'.
Here's a link to the Mochimochi Land website
Also, (again thanks to Hannah) I have been introduced to the wonders of Vistaprint. Despite the huge charges for postage and tax, I have ordered 250 business cards and 2 calendars!! I'm so excited, as I have just been informed that my order should arrive on Wednesday!! I will maybe post some pictures of the things I have ordered then :D.
Because of these business cards, I have also created a new e-mail address. Please e-mail me at thelittletreasurebox@hotmail.co.uk if you have any questions, requests for jewellery, or just fancy a bit of a chat :).
Although it looks like I've been up to a lot recently, I haven't really- sixth form is so much work! When I get a chance, I'm gonna try to get together some material and stuff for my Thumbelina beetle ball party dress (see previous post)- I really want to get going with that!
But now, alas, I have to do my english essay :(
LOVEYOU
Caitlin
P.S. I hope you're all planning your Hallowe'en costumes? :)

Muffins!
Oh, muffin, how I love you.
Who needs boys when you have muffins? Muffins will ALWAYS love you, and be loyal to you. Unless you burn them.
And do you know what muffins will ESPECIALLY always love you? Delicious low-fat raspberry muffins.
We were going to cook the muffins in my new silicone muffin cases I got for my birthday so we could save the planet, but then we discovered that then there were only 6 so we settled for saving the planet divided by 2...
Next on the agenda- blueberry muffins :) yum! And George doesn't like non-chocolate muffins so all for me :) (and mum and dad.... if they can eat them in time heehee)
Now go forth and make muffins, my muffin minions... <--ooh alliteration!
LOVE
Caitlin
P.S. I hope this post didn't sound euphemistic in any way. You've gotta be so careful nowadays...
P.P.S. Hats are coming along very nicely :)

Like the kind me and my mum made yesterday xD

The ingrediants- flour, sugar, baking powder, butter (actually margerine, we are attempting a diet haha) |
 |
| Raspberrys- one of my favourite fruits. I love the colour :) This packet was 170g but we only needed 150g so we got to eat some (yesss) |
 |
After measuring out the margerine, we discovered that you were supposed to grate the butter, and I don't know about you but I can't remember the last time I managed to grate margerine. So, mum cut it up into bits... worked out all right though! |

| The finished muffins- omnomnomnom ;) |

Hat Central
Hey everyone! Happy September :)
My life seems to revolve around hats at the moment.
As you know, I posted a post (lol) about crocheting mad hatter hats last month. That's hat thing number one.
For my birthday, I was given a knitting kit which tells you how to make a hat or scarf. I'm making a hat- hat thing number two.
I work at my local Age Concern shop on Saturdays. They're doing a charity thing with Innocent Smoothies (<3) in which they get people to knit mini hats to go on the top of their smoothie bottles. I'm knitting a few at the moment. Hat thing number three.
Maybe this is a sign- maybe I shall grow up to be a milliner?
LOVE
Caitlin (future milliner)
P.S. I'll post pictures later :) be sure to check back in a few hours :)
P.P.S. I am loving Katy Perry's song Teenage Dream at the moment, seriously, I think it's developing into an obsession.
