Poorly me...

Just a very quick note to say I'll be back blogging soon - I'm just a little under the weather.

Electrifying Lego Bench Mon(Wednes)day

There is some scary stuff happening around the lego bench at the moment in the lead up to Halloween. Looks like Dr Mad Scientist has finally created that monster.

Welcome Autumn - Project 52

I've been casually eyeing up the pattern to knit these leaves for a while now, and I finally had a reason! They were actually pretty simple. The pattern can be found in the book '75 Birds and Butterflies to Knit & Crochet' by Lesley Stanfield if anyone is interested in having a go themselves.

The best bit about autumn for me is looking at (and photographing) all the gorgeous leaves and colours, but I had to give nature a hand because the trees aren't all that pretty round my way just yet!

Garage Sale Booty

A nearby village run a special garage sale day each year, where 50+ different houses can sell their wares. Armed with a map of the village with all participants marked out, we began the rummage. I came away quite happy in the end, with a a few bargains and fun items....

This wooden sign for my kitchen........

Some chemistry measuring cylinders to display with my other glasses, a vintage toffee tin to store my small acrylic paint tubes and a pristine copy of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (for 30p!)....

And the best bargain of all, another printers tray for just £5! I bought 2 of these on eBay a while back which I spray painted and use to display my bits and bobs (mostly toys I admit!).....

Can't wait to get this tray painted up!

Tuesday Tunes

I've been rocking out lately, and this track on the end credits of Avengers Assemble caught my ears. I actually quite enjoyed the film, even though I'm not really one for Superhero films generally. I do have a soft spot for Iron Man though - thought the first Iron Man film was brilliant (the second one not so much). Decided he is absolutely the best one of the Avengers - he can fly, is strong, incredibly clever, witty, and has a very cool outfit/suit. Thor is pretty useful with that controlling the weather mojo too. Anyways, I'm rambling on. Here is the music.........

Sam and Dean love Lego Bench Monday

Yay, Supernatural season 7 is up on Netflix!!! That's me busy for a while then.  

The Vampire Diaries season 3 is on there too which won't last me long. I did watch 2 episodes of Gossip Girl and 1 episode of Charmed, in search for the next show to obsess over. They were both OK so I'll carry on with them once I've finished the others.
