Welcome to my blog! I am Nan, the human component of this blog. B.A.G.S. (a.k.a. AINE) is my pug. This blog will notate musings, muses and British inspired goodies with an American twist. I own The Portobello Road Shoppe located at theportobellord.etsy.com. My specialties are: sewing, stitching, paper crafting and felting. Oh, and the occasional nummy brownies.
Yes. I am a little late to this thing called Project Life.
I am excited to use all the bits and bobs that I still have left over. I have to get way caught up- I mean I am starting seven months into the year. I believe I will do the weeks like this: Aine,crafted, accomplished, ideas and *gulp* diet.
To say I have been crazy busy is an understatement. Besides being busy at work and getting ready for Pugfest. This is what we have been doing:
We took care of Pixie. She is coming back in August. Yea!
I am now in the Guinness Book Of Records and was quoted by the Daily Herald. I can finally apply to Google.
I went to the Quilt Show in Chicago. And bought this to make:
I went to the Midwest Fiber Fair with my fellow felter Judy and was greeted with fun roving goodness. Of course I looked for pug fawn color exclusively.
We than went to Emil's to have double decker pizza and my FAVORITE uni go to food- BEER NUGGETS.
(It is just fried dough- not made by beer. Basically this is what you ate when the bars closed at NIU)
Double decker pizza on the top- yum!
I saw a rainbow.
Celebrated the Black Hawks win of the Stanley Cup!
