Hello!
Today’s topic is:
4KCBWDAY5 Something A Bit Different It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post or write in verse. You’ve already stretched your wings with an infographic, now it’s time to freestyle. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation.
I’ve decide to do a sort of photo journal, a day in the life of Yarn Rush! This is not a typical day but hopefully it will give you an idea of my preferred craziness (or bore you to death – who knows?) So without further ado, here goes!
Technically I should begin with last night (which was my hen night). At midnight this morning I was enjoying a curry with a few guys from work and got in about 1:30 this morning. As such today was not a normal day as I was both off work and very tired! Anyway, after a few hours of sleep I was up and started the day in the best way: with the Lazy Game Reviewer!
To put this into context, one of my other passions is retro video games – it’s a great way to start the day!
Then it was time for Acheivement Hunter with my morning coffee:
And some breakfast:
Then, The Northerner and I toured the local charity shops and I managed to get these lovelies:
Three oldish sewing patterns and a pre-decimalisation knitting pattern which is an awesome haul! I also picked up the latest Inside Crochet so I spent a bit of time reading through it and absorbing crafty inspiration.
After lunch I finally got to play with the latest member of my crafting family:
I got this beauty from a local charity shop in Monday (The Northerner carried it home for me *swoon*) I’m planning a more detailled overview post in the near future, but in brief, I think this is a Jones sewing machine, however there is no indication of a manufacturer so I’m going off of the description “Family CS Machine” and the general styling. I’m guessing that it dates to the early 1900’s but my research hasn’t turned up one with this decoration so I’m not sure! Anyway, its name is Fury (after Nick Fury from the Avengers cause he is totally badass!) and it joins Tizzy my Singer Symphonie machine.
I spent quite some time this afternoon learning how to set it up and thread it, but fortunately the original instructions were included and were very clear, so I got there in the end! It sews beautifully as you can see:
Then we measured up our house for some furniture we want to buy, and I sorted out some of my stash to look for some inspiring yarn for a design I’m kicking around. I even managed to finish a test knit!
I also looked over the Lune pattern with a view to picking it back up tomorrow and making some serious inroads into it, and, of course, fretted a little over the wedding (getting close now, eeep!)
Now, I’m getting ready to turn in and am writing this post! I hope this hasn’t bored you too much, thanks for reading!
