aint no FOs been spotted round these parts....

title says it all.

College has been super challenging, and I've started a temp retail job for a major high street retailer. (I will share my thoughts on them after I have finished working for them!) Working retail is kicking my ass, I've never done it before, previously having jobs where i get to sit and create beautiful spreadsheets and tell people off down the phone.

Standing for 9 hours a day totally sucks ass, major kudos for those of you who make a career in retail, you must spend a fortune on foot cream and have the patience of a saint.

Saying all this, creative things have been happening, just more slowly than I would like-

I'm in the process of drafting my own top pattern

I'm part way through designing a shawl/scarflette thing

I have about 10 fabric designs in the embryonic stages (very excited about this!)

Me and LeBeau took the day off on Friday and drove up to Whitby. In our imaginations this was an awesome plan, it would be cold but brisk and we could go for a walk on the beach and take lots of photographs.

In reality, it was like this -

I took about three photos, this is the only one which came out anywhere near focused as I couldn't actually see through the view finder due to the epic nature of the wind (seriously, it was painfully strong and noisy)

Needless to say, we didn't stay long.

I'm off to the Clothes Show at the NEC next week so expect another blog post then x

P.P.S I just spell checked again and google isn't in there either
