Rainy London and An Etsy Feature

Currently: Listening To: The Trooper - Iron Maiden / Drinking: Coke Zero / Making: Arms and Legs

One of my crochet patterns has been featured in an Etsy Treasury today! Entitled Apple Jackets; it features, well, Apples in jackets lol! Check it out here - they're all so cute!

Big Thanks to Kristen for including me in your fab treasury! Check out Kristen's fab blog here too! :D

Also today I went on a little day trip on my own to London. What with this trainee dental nurse job I have coming up in June I figured I'd better get used to travelling to and around London on my own.

I was a bit nervous about going - you know, when you don't have to do something you don't really want to do it? Well it was abit like that. But I did go! I went to Tower Bridge to get some tacky tourist postcards. Then travelled on the Tube to Embankment to my favourite sushi shop, Wasabi. I also visited Trafalar Square and Piccadilly Circus on my way through to Chinatown to pick up some wasabi peas lol! Oh, and I bought 30 postcards in Paperchase. They were 60p each :(

It of course started raining, when I was in Chinatown. My umbrella failed me spectacularly, so I had to walk back through to Embankment station in the pouring rain wearing my thin MCR hoodie. I wasn't happy!! But over all it was a good trip. Next time I think I'm gonna go up to Camden Market. Wish there were some good yarn shops in London. Anyone know of any?

    Yes, though walmart isn't really a "shop" it's a shopping center, where they have everything all together, clothing, food, toys, hardware, car parts and accessories, botanics, crafts, animal food/toys/flea meds and fish. They have a fabrics section in the crafts, and there is a wall of yarn. Can you email me about any other colors you might need? I'm going there tonight. ^.^

    LOL @ Wal*Mart explanation. I think I sent you some tiny balls of cotton? At Wal*Mart it's like $1 for those lil things!

    We should put it on your list of Places to Visit in the USA. :b

    I usually end up in John Lewis on Oxford Street looking at yarns whenever I go into London :-/ I usually end up spending too much money!
