Shopping and Crocheting

Didn't do Etsy Friday yesterday I was out. I went on a shopping trip with my brother to London - in particular Camden and Oxford Street.

We go up there about twice a year to have a look round and stock up on cool clothes lol. We went out at about 9:30am and came back at around 5:30pm, it was a long day! I ended up spending around £110 in Camden :o lol. I got some great stuff though, and my parents got me alot of it for Christmas and my birthday so it wasn't too bad!

I bought a Japanese anime t-shirt; a sock monster, bead necklaces, kawaii stuff from a super cute Japanese shop like a folder, notebook, toadstool plushie and a pencil; a hoodie, some earrings for my Mum and lots of other stuff I can't remember. Oh, and this silver ring...


I didn't spend a penny on Oxford Street! Wow! My brother did though, he spent a small fortune in Topman lol

At one point on the Underground we were approached by a drugs dog and 2 policemen lol! Nothing to worry about, as we obviously didn't have any drugs (accept 2 painkillers...) but it was un-nerving anyway!

In the evening I made myself feel sick by eating stodgy bread. Stupid thing to do, I was up all night, and I know have a big headache. Why do I do these silly things?!

On the crochet front, I've done the head, body, bow and an arm of my version of the Knitted Character! Here's his little face...


All I've got to do now is the other arm, legs and ears then he'll be finished! My Mum didn't win the proper Knitted Character from off the telly, so she can have this one when I'm finished :)

That's about it. Nothing much planned for the weekend, my Nan's round today and I think there's 2 lots of football (soccor to my American friends...) on this weekend, including my team Leeds United in the FA Cup, Yay! I'm gonna continue with the Knitted Character and whatnot. 1 week to go till Brentwood! :b

  2. Thank You! :D I hope she'll like it!

    You're lucky living near Camden! I'd go more often if I lived closer but it costs about £16 for a train ticket from Basildon :(

    There used to be an alternative clothing shop on Oxford Street, but unfortunatly it burnt down last year :( Shame 'cos it was a nice shop. Now it's just high street shops, as far as I can tell :(
