Crafty update…

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Eh, I’ve had this post in the drafts for a few days now, but since I’ve been nominated in the Best Craft Blog in the awards I decided that today was as good a day as any to post it up.
I finished the basketweave project, well, that is, I knit until I ran out of [...]

oooooh it’s getting exciting now

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Just having a look at the blog awards and it appears that Style Treaty has been nominated in four categories.
Best Blog (if The Limerick Blogger doesn’t at least get onto the shortlist - there’s no justice in the world)
Best Specialist Blog (being from Limerick is a specialist subject - I swear)
Best Group blog (go Margaret [...]

Unfringed

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Via the Limerick Blogger I see that Cheebah has done a rundown of the Unfringed Festival which is due to take place in the Belltable between the 13th and 23rd of February.
If I could recommend one thing in the fringe festival it would be that you check out the two plays by the Belltable Featured [...]

Guilty Pleasure

Monday, January 28th, 2008

When I was a little girl I was obsessed with stationery and in later years office supplies. My favourite part of my current job is that I’m the Viking Direct contact, and if I thought I’d get away with it, there wouldn’t be any boring plastic desktop stuff in my work space. It [...]

Time for a Coffee

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

One of the things I love about the Milk Market is that there is always a new supplier or a new product brought by an existing supplier to try out. Last week when I was in the market, there were very few traders in as January is such a quiet month that a lot [...]

Keep it in the Family

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

So, for the last few weeks my life has pretty much involved getting up, going to work, coming home, making dinner and then watching The Sopranos until I can’t keep my eyes open anymore!! Two weekends ago, I watched 17 episodes, only breaking to eat and sleep!!

The viewing has slowed down somewhat at this stage, [...]

New (Old) Look

Monday, January 21st, 2008

It’s new but it’s not. It’s the template I used originally actually, and like all things the original is often the best. Given the state of our weather at the moment, I was starting to find the other picture a bit grey and to be honest, I needed to see some blue skies. [...]

Knitting Update

Monday, January 21st, 2008

So, after a few hairy moments with about three you tube knitting videos open trying to get the hang of a slip knot, I closed them all down and tried it on my own, and I got it on the first try. I did the same with casting on, the videos and the printed [...]
