When in England this year, Alex and I took a walk along the canal and checked out all the wonderful narrowboats. A lot of them have little gardens on the top of them, but the most adorable one I have ever seen must have been this teapot one.

Since seeing this adorable little garden (at the end of summer obviously a little tired and run down) I’ve been on the lookout for cheap teapots to make a little teapot garden for myself. Isn’t it lovely?

I’m working on my blogroll. For the time being I’ve only added FATshion blogs, but I’m going to add fat politics, vintage and random blog links too. Alex is also compiling his list. We don’t have the same interests at all, except for the fact that we love video games and old things so seeing his links will be interesting for me too. We have such different interest and come from such different backgrounds, that it seems almost impossible that we should get along as nicely as we do. I guess it helps that we share the same values and that he’s the kindest and most generous man I know. It’s also pretty damn rad that he’s a feminist just like me, though you wouldn’t think so looking at him.
Does anyone have any suggestions for blogs about fat fashion or fat politics that should go on my blog roll?
And to not disappoint, have a picture of Semla, our kitty cat.

Autumn hit a few days ago. October came with winds and hail, rain and clouds and we admit defeat. We put our coats on, bring in our duvets and remember the mild summer days when the grain was growing still and the sun woke us up early in the mornings.

This blog is turning into a FATshion blog. Whatever happened to the flea market finds? Well I feel inspired and I’ve been better at getting photos taken.
I bought the (in)famous domino dress by Beth Ditto at Evans and I’ve been using it quite a bit. It’s seen early morning flea markets, the insides of grocery stores and now it’s also come with me to work.
I love the way it hugs my body without clinging too much. I used to hate my belly but nowadays I even think it’s a bit sexy. What an amazing transformation.

This is me today. After work, and going apple picking. And having dinner at mums and dropping of a few parcels at the petrol station. So my hair’s a bit flat and my eyes look a bit tired but overall I look pretty happy and I feel great in this dress.
I really like my legs. From my thick thighs to my chubby knees to my muscular calves and slender ankles. They’re short and kind of stubby, but they’re strong and will take me anywhere I want to go. When I was younger and played hockey (not on ice) my calves almost had a square shape because they were just muscle. People have never complimented my legs, but they’re pretty great!

In a couple of years we’re probably moving to England. I’ve been wanting to for a while but we can’t yet. I want to work some more and maybe study. Alex wants to learn Swedish. So we don’t know when we’ll move. When we do move, however, I’ve decided I want to plant a fig tree in the garden. Fig trees are gorgeous and figs are one of the yummiest fruits.
I took this picture in Bradford-on-Avon. A quaint little town in Wiltshire with the river Avon running through it. We walked there along the Kennet and Avon canal and had a wonderful, sunny day.
