The Magpie Diary

So I thought I’d say something about my brother-in-law (to be). He’s a pretty awesome guy, he makes his own (amazing!) music and also illustrations every now and then. He’s marrying my sister in early July and I think that’s pretty great. He also puts up with crude jokes from me and my sister and tolerates (barely) the joking harassment.

(He’s the guy to the left by the way)

Go check out his myspace and blog!

Seriously, do it because I said so!

I made a neck warmer for Cookie, the little devil cat that has lived with me for 5 years. It’s the cut-off cuff of an old sweater that shrunk and felted in the wash. I thought she’d hate it and planned to just slip it on and take a few pictures but she’s been wearing it for half an hour now and seems to like it. She’s a little crazy. I’m not sure whether she actually likes it or if she’s just too proud to complain and is now plotting how to kill me.

Isn’t she just adorable?

Yesterday I made a cute little easter bunny following a revoluzza tutorial and pattern. You should make one too!

I called her Matilda and gave her to mum. She now spends her days in my mum’s kitchen, taking it easy and watching over the dogs.

Making things makes me so happy!
