Nic's eco Knits: November 2010
http://nicsecoknits.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 2 November 2010. Monster Mash and winter warmth. My latest series of tea cosies are based on monsters. I got the idea from mashing tea and doing the monster mash perhaps not at the same time. Here is the morning after monster his eyes are bloodshot and mouth downturned. He has, as all good monsters do a counter monster, the boogie monster and is what the morning after monster would have looked like the night before. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nic's eco Knits: January 2011
http://nicsecoknits.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 12 January 2011. Knit a little birdhouse for your soul. With all this cold and snowy weather I've been worried about the wee birdies in my garden so I've made them a wee house to give them a bit of shelter in the snow. How can they resist? I can feel a few more bird houses being created they're reminding me of a song (as most things do) They Might Be Giants "Little birdhouse in your soul". It's made from a felted jumper sleeve with knitted details. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nic's eco Knits: March 2012
http://nicsecoknits.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 March 2012. Do you remember those really twee cartoons of two cupids that appeared in the paper years ago with sickly sweet sayings such as Happiness is .looking lovingly into each others eyes. They meant nothing to me at the time as happiness to me was a Caramac, a packet of Pacers and long sunny days on my bike. Now I'm a bit older (just a bit.) I realise happiness is a state of mind nothing to do with Caramacs and Pacers and sometimes it takes a little more work than others. L with details ...

Friday, 4 February 2011. I've been playing with Picasa. Everytime I say that I want to say Picasa sucasa, I know not why. Anyway hence I've made a lovely piccie of my seaside rock tea cosi, for all the tealovers in the world. Sadly I can't stand tea so I think a coffee pot version will be happening soon. I'm still making stuff for my seaside themed collection. Which will be displayed when my artist mate Lynne has an open studio at the end of February. details to follow. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Nic's eco Knits: Everything old is new again
http://nicsecoknits.blogspot.com/2012/05/everything-old-is-new-again.html
Monday, 28 May 2012. Everything old is new again. I've had these ubiquitous plastic patio chairs for years, quite possibly since they were fashionable as they were my mum and dad's before becoming mine. They've been manky looking and covered in mildew and everytime we get nice weather like this I think about chucking them and buying new ones. Though something always stops me as apart from being unfashionable there is actually nothing wrong with them. Are these chairs not the most popular in the world!
