Romcom's and chiclit

                                                    Don't you just love the 80's

I'm currently watching Mannequin the 1987 film with Andrew McCarthy & Kim Catrall I love this old film. Yeah I know its a silly film but I love it, this and Pretty in Pink were two of  my favourite films as a teen. My all time favourite though has to be Sleepless in seattle, yer just gotta love Tom Hanks and the story is so lovely.
I like a bit of a fluffy romcom you don't have to think too hard about it, you can just sit back relax and watch, I'm the same with books too, I like chic lit for a nice easy read. I do enjoy watching things a little more challenging sometimes, but for a nice relax easy watching is definately my thing. I can easily do something else like knit or make jewellery while I watch without worrying whether I missed something important to the plot or messed up what I'm making. Today I've been doing a bit of knitting while watching tv.

Earlier today I finally sewed a button onto a sleeveless cardi I finished knitting a couple of weeks ago. I bought a button for it just after I finished knittting it but somehow I've managed to lose it somewhere in the house. I've hung on for a couple of weeks hoping I'd find it but I haven't, so today I bought a new one from the local knitting shop and finally finished my cardi. No doubt the original button will turn up now but heyho I'm sure I'll find a use for it sometime.
Here's my cardigan modelled by very own mannequin (dressmaking dummy) Krystal

  3. Girl after my own heart - so nice to sit back, in my case, with a cup of tea and a packet of biccys or even better chocolate and just watch without actually having to think. Nice cardy - glad you are still earning your keep Krystal.
