...Hi there....
....friends out in blog land, wherever you all may be on this very beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon.
Today has been a fairly sedate kind of a day, a day that has drifted along on its own leisurely sundayness.
The morning was just taken up with having a lovely long lay in with the morning paper and a mug of hot tea, then fair amounts of faffing about and drifting from one room to the next, then at midday the whole layed back theme was spun on its axis by a very excited two year old clutching a bucket and spade in hand and shouting at the top of her lungs "come on Ninny, were going to the beach", , she calls me ninny,, she already has a nanny so to stop confusion i opted for the ninny nanny. Cant imagine what the locals must think when shes shouting it out, aah well.
Then after my son had driven away and about fifty "bye bye ninnys", yelled from the back seat of his car, i retired to my little creative space to quickly finish a page in my sketch book.
You may of noticed the crochet and knitting has slacked of a bit off late, this is due unfortunately to a painful left hand and thumb, each time i try and hold my crochet in really aggravates the problem, i think i may of over done the knitting and crochet and given myself a bit of a strain injury, so i need to rest it for a while.
....So, art it is for a while I'm afraid, sorry, i hope my lack of woolie bits and bobs doesn't deter you, i shall be back to clicking clacking and hooking very soon...
...Anyway, have an enjoyable rest of Sunday afternoon everyone wherever you are.... Pixie x

...Mr Pixie and I...
...took a trip to Camden town in London at the weekend, for those of you that know Camden will know what a fantastic exciting place it is, i just love it there, the people watching is great and the atmosphere is fun. There is fantastic food, vintage clothing and home wares coming out of every nook and cranny, oodles of stalls full of sumptuous goodies, and you don't need to take that much money with you to have a good time, brilliant.
At the market, which is mostly indoors and underground you aren't really allowed to take photos, but i just had to show you just a small amount of the vast quantity of sculpture that fills this enormous market, i had to be vary sneaky with my camera.....

...beautiful horses everywhere, bronze, and bigger than what they seem in this picture....
....an unbelievable amount of vintage stalls...
....this massive bronze horse head is stunning....
....these are above your head everywhere....
....these carved wood signs are huge, and above most of the entrances to the stalls outside....
....more horse statues....
....then there's the spacey section...
....this huge Indian is over the entrance to a massive new age section....
....recycled vespa parts made into seats for you to have your food, brilliant...
....and probably the bestest doughnut stall ever, its double sided and has every combination of fillings, and toppings you could imagine....
