WI Nutcracker - FIMO accessories

Tomorrow we are off to the ROYAL OPERA HOUSE!!! to see the Nutcracker on wonderful subsidised tickers from the WI. I know!!!

There will be a photographer there to photograph the kids' Nutcracker-themed accessories. So I did one too.

Was my Sugar Plum Fairy supposed to be ghoulish? It somehow headed off in that direction with a FIMO body pierced with knitting needles....




...and then I somehow got into the vibe with a piece of hand-dyed felt, some coloured silk husks and a few sequins.



Hope it doesn't make any little children cry...

Texas - Roundhouse: stupendous Spiteri


Sharleen Spiteri was on fire at the Roundhouse, London, on Sunday Dec 13th 2015, leading Texas in a romp through the last 25 years.


All the best tunes, maximum energy, the woman is glorious.

My favourite, Halo, came out early and the party started. By the time we got to Inner Smile, I was just completely happy.


I love a good front woman, one born to it, in charge and having a ball. And then, by all accounts, walking home afterwards.
