Early birthday thing

I have had the most amazing night. Although my birthday is technically not until next Sunday, it was pushed forward because Karolina is going away for almost 3 weeks and then I am.
I really realised tonight that I have amazing friends that are unique, caring and really cool, special people that I am really grateful for.
I did hold a little, crap speech, but I really loved tonight, thanks for all my great presents, xxx

Oli and I, me still wearing the necklace I made...

Me with Hugo's present. It all started when I asked him if he's seen Ghost world, and he responded with you mean have I read Ghost world...

Hugo and I


And these are the ones that would come out in Mail on Sunday if we were famous...

You can't see very well, but I am brandishing a knife in this one.




B made me this amazing jewlery set, necklace, bracelet, earrings and two rings, all made out of these amazing buttons and really funky thread. I can't imagine how much work has gone into this. Periodically, I will see her knit cute baby jumpers for other people, make cushions and cup cakes etc and I will think how wonderfully talented she is, but tonight, I was really suprised afresh. Great and really unique present. And Essex boys chatted me up on the tube home, so there is definately an X factor there.

At first I couldn't think of a way to use stretch butterflies...they go nicely on any wall.


And Oli's taking me water rafting. I think after Orla Kiely, it has become appropriate to go higher and higher with what he can do for me. I am still keen to see Kooks, which have sold out from under my nose yet again, and Oli knows what to do.
