Knitting Again...

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? :)

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.
