no knitting - all sewing!

A final stab at craftiness this weekend - using 1m metre of cotton I made a little slip which converts to a top. I wore it with my 3/4 tights on Sunday and although I'm really happy with it as a top it's too see-through and a bit clingy around my butt/thighs - so it's on the chopping block for permanent shortening (which is a whole lot easier than trying to "shorten" my butt at Xmas time!!).

I forgot to mention a friend's Tiramisu recipe used a couple of weeks ago which was HELLO "food of the gods"! It was a real old style one with brandy, espresso, raw eggs and mascarpone. It is soooooo my summer dessert - that and Bec's Savoy Cabbage Salad, margaritas and eggplant/feta stacks on the BBQ. In fact I have no idea how rich a tiramisu could be but many spoonfuls of leftovers had to be endured even after 8 people had a go - is it wrong to eat tiramisu for breakfast?

Oh and in complete stupid xmas-time office antics, I made some blackberry holders out of a bunch of old coporate ties - I reckon it's the new corporate gift the BB holder - way better than monogram-ed golf balls that go straight into bushes on the course, CD calendars photoshoped by IT staff in their lunchbreak, extra large golf shirts for giants or monogram-ed pens which look expensive but aren't cos they break on the second week (yeah cheers mate).

oh dear - how I find time to do such silly things in the office or why I am blogging first thing on a Monday instead of WORKING amazes me - that's the power of procrastination people - ain't it neat!!
