Stitch and bitch...

So I popped around my lovely friend Abi's house today to do a bit of knitting, have a good ol' chin wag and enjoy good food.  She made some yummy cupcakes wile I made 7 layer dip.

Unfortunately we ate all the dip before I had time to photograph it but here's a posh pic of how it can look :)

For my recipe which I stole from my American friend its basically a layer of refried beans, a layer of salsa (not fresh - Dorito's or Old El Paso is the best) sour cream, spring onions, black olives and cheese.  You then bung it in the oven until hot throughout and the cheese is all melty and either leave it to cool and serve at room temperature, or as we did eat it piping hot....yummmmmmm

My friends cup cakes were so cute baked in little cases picked up in Ikea:

Again uber yummy!

As for the knitting, I'm in the middle of knitting a hat which I have been doing for a while and about 1/2 way through at the moment, here's how it looks so far:

Pants huh? ha ha, but imagine it finished, a lovely cosy hat with a little bobble on the top. Can you picture it? Because I can.

Abi on the other hand is much more adventerous and she's made lots of cute crocheted monsters with her own patterns which hopefully she's going to sell to the world one day!  Today she started to crochet this bad boy:

Which I've now stolen the pattern for, and this is going to be my next project as by the time I finish my hat I think it will be Summer!

For today's outfit I decided to wear something comfy to lounge around the house with:

Cardigan - Primark, Top, Vest Top, Jeggings, Necklace - H&M, Boots - Zara

Let me know what you've been up to this weekend, I love random chill out weekends.

Birds of A Feather....

...Flock together.  That's what they say anyway!

After looking at my pictures today, I realised that all my outfits had a running theme - birds!  From designs on my clothes to accessories... ingenious huh? ha ha

Monday..

I haven't worn this dress in yonks, and I saw it in the wardrobe and remembered quite how much I do like the dress, the cute bird pattern, the detailed ruffle around the neck - the only slightly annoying thing about it is when you're walking it gets stuck to your tights and rises up - not the most practical or sightly thing! Hence the reason this dress is never really at the top of my list of things to wear...

Cardigan - H&M, Dress - New Look, Tights & Socks - Primark, Boots - Peacocks

Tuesday...

I purchased this top a while ago from Primark and filed it into my wardrobe and completely forgot about it! doh!  but anyway all is now good because I found it on Tuesday - I bought it because its just so cute and pretty and has a fabulous lace back (which in my rush I forgot to photograph - double doh!):

Cardigan & Owl Ring - H&M, T-shirt, Tights & socks - Primark, Boots - Peacocks

Wednesday...

I'm afraid I don't have much to say for Wednesday only that I can remember thinking is it really only half way through the week and hurry up Friday!

Cardigan - H&M, Dress - Boutique in Hammersmith, Tights and Necklace - Primark, Boots - Office

Thursday...

Remember one of my very early posts when I bought all those tops from New Look? Well this is one of the purchases from way back then and I've finally got around to wearing it! whoop!  I teamed it with one of my chunky knit cardigans as the weather has started to turn a lil' bit chillier in the last couple of days...

Cardigan - Ebay, Bird Top - New Look, Vest Top, Jeggings, Socks - H&M, Boots, Necklace - Primark

Friday...

It's the end of another very long week! woohooo, and I was in a REALLY good mood, playing all sorts of music in the office - Hanson, Ace of Base, Mumford and Sons etc etc.

Cardigan - Ebay, T-shirt, Vest Top, Skirt - H&M, Tights & Ring - Primark, Skull Necklace - Brick Lane Markets, Boots - Zara

And my purchase of the week...

This fabulous claw ring I spied in So High Soho - this fabulous little shop around the corner from where I work where the sell everything from fancy dress costumes to silver jewellery - and it's pretty damn cheap - I picked this beauty up for a mere £15!  Bargain huh?
