'Ozmopolitan'

Well, Fiona was right.  I knew midway through the first act of Wicked that I was going to have to make some very green beads.

After faffing about with various shades of green I chose CiM Oz (appropriate) and encased it thickly with Effetre Olive.  This has given such a vibrant green!

These will be for sale on my site at 8.00pm on Wednesday night.

Wicked Weekend

Chris took me to London for the weekend to celebrate my birthday.  On Saturday afternoon we went to see Wicked which was absolutely brilliant!  Afterwards I kept wondering about Elphaba's make-up.  I reckon Rachel Tucker must have a heck of a hard time getting rid of all that green!

We stayed in a swank riverside hotel on Saturday night.  I like to judge a hotel room by its tea and coffee making facilities and these ones were great - big mugs, a variety of Twinings tea and Walkers chocolate biscuits, no less!  Yesterday we had a wander along South Bank and ate lunch in the pub where we went on our first date and then we caught the train home.

We had a really great weekend!
