Dublin Flea Market – Sunday the 25th of September

Where exactly has September gone? I only realized this morning today is the last Sunday of the month, which means the monthly Dublin Flea Market is today! If you’re around, it’s from 11am-5pm in Newmarket. I better get ready …

My favorite picks – getting in gear

1. All you can eat Sunday’s at Yo! Sushi. Need I say more? 
2. Puma BodyTrain LSI’m getting my ass in gear since I’m painfully unfit, and these babies are doing it. I’ve been so good recently, walking 3.6km every morning. Plus, they’re really comfortable. Now, where’s my bag of Minstrels … 
3. Crivit raincoat from LIDL. That’s right, a raincoat. I went in to get a bottle of wine the other day, and came out with this raincoat. But seriously, it’s miles better than my previous, and I’ve used it every day this week.
4. House and Home September/October edition. It’s been in my handbag for the past two weeks, and for good reason. I don’t want to say why, because I don’t want to jinx it 🙂
It’s kind of been a very long time since I updated my favorite picks. Probably because I think it’s a bit silly, but it forces me to keep track of the things I’ve found useful or cute over the past week or two. 

Sneak peek – monochromatic afghan

I’ve been, to my complete surprise, a little bit obsessed with my afghan. I’m  used to knitting, where the rows seem to never increase at times. So it’s a bit foreign to see each row of this blanket increase so quickly. This is my first linear crochet project, and I’m impressed. Already it’s about 37cm {15 inches} long and I’ve been working on it casually for 12 days. The pattern I used was very narrow {the width of my lap}, so I doubled the pattern so I could refer to it as a blanket, as opposed to a wash cloth.

We watched Beetlejuice last night which I thought was kind of fitting {re: his striped suit, in case it wasn’t clear where I was going with that one}, so I took a couple of pics of my progress to share. First Halloween movie of the season! Yes to cuddling under crocheting.
