Hardy and co.

Hey everyone! Hope you are well!

I'm trying to make an effort to post more often (doing this between cleaning atm). Thought I'd drop a line.

I received my package from the lovely srthnx for the No Sheep for you swap in Ravelry. Among the lovely things I received, I got a Quant head band (can't be bothered linking, look in knitty). 26-10-08 010 Check this bag, all done up with snaps! 26-10-08 007

And stitch markers and chocolate. My partner is a lovely reminder of why I love to do swaps, I would never have picked to use sari yarn for me or anyone (yet I have three skeins in the stash... hmm) but my headband has already gotten loads of compliment and I'm hanging out for a chance to show off the clutch...the chocolates also went down a treat after a long day. What's not to love?

Also sending (and hopefully receiving) a tacky ornament in the tacky ornament swap in the Lazy, Stupid and Godless board in Ravelry. Will show as soon as I finish/receive something.

Meet my brand new pal, Hardy. I needed a (tax deductible WOO!) hard drive, mainly so I could move my pictures and start backing up my uni things. This 640 gig monster the biggest USB I've EVER had lol.

Jelly!
jelly!

This is jelly I made from scratch (well, I didn't make my own gelatin, but aside from that...) from a 1950s recipe ages ago. Adding berries made it eating an experience that could only be described as ethereal.

I'm posting a picture of jelly for the following reasons:
1 - I have been making swap things and dodgy spinning, ergo - nothing to report
2 - Don't you just love my messy desktop?
3 - between uni and applying for jobs, I have honestly been too flat out to give a toss about much else.

adios!

Employers: Please employ me and pay me lots of money. I am friendly and nice and I'm over job hunting. Really.
