PRETTY HATS

one of my favourite things about thursday & crafty deafcat was that zara gave me one of her beautiful fascinators! "think of it as a late birthday present!" she said. (my birthday was exactly 5 months ago on thursday..) what a lovely lady. i simply adore her hats. she said when she feels sad she likes to try them all on and walk around the house being all fancy.

i also tried on my 2nd favourite fascinator of hers, the love birds. i want to get married in it. fortunately she said she can make me another one if it sells before that happens. i think it will. how could it not, it's gorgeous! (excuse my face & hair)



my absolute favourite fascinator of hers though is the marie celeste ship hat! to my infinite sadness though, someone's bought it off her etsy. but again, she said she's gonna make more, different ship hats in the future. happy happy. maybe eventually i'll either come up with a worthy idea for a photograph, or even the cash to buy one <3

CRAFTY DEAF CAT

thursday night i attended CRAFTY DEAF CAT, a little craft fair my friends sara & zara had organized. vampire sushi had a little stall too, and we did well. i did take a picture of my stall / chair but it was all blurry and horrid so no picture of that. & my secret crafty project..

apparently there is going to be another one on 16th DECEMBER. anyone who's not too far away & can make it, mark that in your calendar!

SOUTHAMPTON CRAFT & ZINE FAIR

last saturday me and carl got up stupid early and got on a train to southampton via london town to table at southampton zine fest. which went alright. we were both just very very tired. i've been putting off posting the photos because i wanted to say something but.. it's all gone. but it was nice to get out of medway, hooray!

the only picture of our table. it was a bit of a hideous mess, so i didn't really bother..



steve of rumlad zine wearing the headband i made on the train. he had a table with isy morgenmuffel & hannah southcoast right next to us.



somehow i didn't manage to take any other pictures until clearing out time.. lots of people were still tabling on sunday so they just left their tables as they were, ready for the morning.

CRAFTY DEAF CAT

tomorrow night is the night of the first ever CRAFTY DEAF CAT, a little craft fair at the deaf cat coffee bar (Penfold House, 10 High Street, Rochester, Kent ME1 1PT) from 6pm til 8pm. VAMPIRE SUSHI DISTRO will be there (well, really is just me with the zines & some of my crafty bits and bobs..) as well as few of my friends with their fancy crafty things! there will be coffee, cake and fairylights too. i'm rather looking forward to it. a little nervous though, i'm going to leave certain issues of your pretty face at home.. i should go and knit & embroider like mad, right now! get the fuck off internet. i just need to put some more harry potter on the ipod (and maybe sneak in some miley cyrus..) and i'll retire to knit in bed. also, must get distro orders ready. i've been very naughty with them..

F L O R I D A

this is where carl drinks his tea from starting today. mmh, crunk juice.

NEW HAIR

i bought winifred a newold wig from a nice lady on thisisblythe forum. it arrived in the post the other day. it was a good post day, i think i got two packages of zines too! i think the fringe might need a bit of a tidy up but i reckon it was a bargain at £3.50 + postage!

ps. i've been listening to miley cyrus all night & loving it <3 i'm quite gutted i forgot to watch hannah montana in 3D on sunday afternoon, but i guess it's ok since the goddamn 3D glasses don't work for me anyway, just give me a headache.

FOUR EYES.

me and carl went to southampton on saturday for the southampton craft & zine fest, which i will post about later. down the street from the art cafe the fest was in there was a shop called beatnik emporium which was a half vintage shop and half fancy dress shop. i found the kind of cat eye glasses i'd been looking for for ages. £3.95, a fucking bargain. i just need to get some lenses in them. the lady at specsavers told me last time i went to get my glasses tightened (i keep knocking into things..) that i need new ones, the old ones are getting a bit brittle after two & a half years of constant abuse. my goal is to do it before february and all the zine fests. save up for some eye care.

i should really get off the internet and do some crafty things for thursday. knit some bows to go on headbands & embroider some still secret projects.
