Weekend bits

Saturday was a pretty quiet day, one of the those frustrated crafting times where I kept making ridiculous mistakes and the same ones over and over again.

I did manange to finish off Bellamy, my latest potholder ( he may look the same as Rudolph but he's quite different and different colours too)

Luckily I didn't seem to be having a bad affect on my boys, who sailed to victory in a game i thought they wouldn't win.

Then I Sunday I headed off to Craft Hatch, where Evie was one of the stallholders. Ever since I had seen her Bow Tie Boys, I knew I needed one, so I headed off nice and early so I could get first pick. Only problem was it was so hard to choose, I wanted them all! Finally I decided on this guy, who I've called Holden after Holden in Catcher in the Rye, one of my favourite books of all time. Isn't he just gorgeous? He comes complete with the sweetest cloth bag.

Then I headed off to see In the Attic- or Whose Birthday is it today a full length stop animation film, with mum, which was showing as part of MIFF. It was seriously one of the most beautiful and best films I have ever seen. It was both beautiful in how it looked but also the story was a gorgoeus one. It wasn't just a pretty looking film. It was about the secret life of toys basically, with the story centering around the kidnapping of one of the dolls, and had all the imagination, craziness and magic of childhood. It was directed by Jiri Barta, from the Czech Republic. I had never hear of him before but am keen to check out some of his other films. This was a tip from Evie , so it was a bit Evie's day as I'm not sure I would have known about it. Either. i can't rave about it enough, if you get a chance to see it at some point I totally recommend it. ( the version I saw had English subtitles)

Oh and I had another dress day today, and I feel I need extra points it being a Sunday, usually my total blobby, holey jumper day.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
