The Fashion Frigidity Zone

I don’t know much about how other women feel like, but recently it occurred to me that I actually have some recurrent deja vu for a certain period of time every year that I just completely lost my interest in fashion and what I wear.

This is probably not important, as some women would say that they actually never had been interested in what they wear. Well, not that I am a fashion fever (at least I am not now) but for most of my time, I do have the mood picking my clothes everyday morning or have desire adding new pieces into my wardrobe.

But seriously I don’t have it now. I noticed that it started every year around the same time, say late of summer like early of March throughout until the first frost hits. I call it summer fashion ” fatigue”. It’s like running out all the clothes that I have had for summer but the weather still hasn’t changed to Autumn. I feels like it’s been extended to iternity just remaining the same where I found I am getting very sick of doing the same things over and over again.

But the worse thing is, I am not just running out of my clothes, but also running out of my interests in making it better ……Every morning I just pick whatever comes up to me in my wardrobe. It doesn’t matter what colour, materials, style, new or old, or if it’s matching to each other….just couldn’t bother thinking about it.

…..I just go like an automatic-pick machine drawing up the ball randomly from a pool of collections…… I even wouldn’t mind just wearing PJs and slippers to go to the work:-) if I really don’t care.

I know one day very soon after this, I will get over it and regain, but it doesn’t really make sense as I have the most colourful and variable choices for my summer clothing, but it seems that no quantity can stand the test of time.

I just don’t know why. It’s because of the weather? or it’s just me? or I am a bit depressive? Is there anyone else feels the same like I do at this particular point of time?

I’d like to have a ragdoll please….

After having done almost all the possible research that I could find so far, I decided that I WANT A RAGDOLL CAT. Actually I am getting a bit crazy about it recently

Don’t panic! I know what you are thinking. I am NOT saying that I am getting it now, I am just saying if I will ever want to get another cat in my life, I am going to choose to have a ragdoll.

Yes, I pretty much made up my mind, after a) seen a photo of Michele’s daughter Amy with her new ragdoll kitten, b) find out how a ragdoll’ ability to go all floppy when you pick up them from the floor, c) know that they can be very limp if you play with them and position their legs in thousands of different ways, and d) they are affectionate and human oriented, e) they can fetch things like dogs and wait for you in front of door waiting for you to come home like a dog, f) can be trained to respond to you when called their names, plus g) they are handsome, hardy, placid and relaxed cats, and h) they are kids friendly, seldom use their claws or being an enthusiastic climber ….. The list can go very long, I think whichever temperaments had been mentioned, it all seems to fit in what I have been looking for.

But let’s wait and see. It’s probably not a good timing now and I want to make sure I deserve it in the way just as they deserve to have a good owner

Flower Slippers

I must be getting so old that I can see my wrinkles on my feet But if I ignore them and concentrate on my newly finished project, I generally feel quite happy and proud.

It’s still too early to wear them now, as the summer hasn’t really ended. But it’s always wise to start to prepare for it from now, so when the cold hits, I will be in my warm footies walking around in the house

I didn’t expect it to be such an easy project, no knitting in the round, just some increase and decrease and a bit of sewing up at the end to form the shape. It fits perfectly with a little stretching, and it looks like rather a boat shoe than a sock.

The flower as the embelishment can be knitted in whichever way you prefer. I didn’t use the original flower pattern (5 petals). Instead of that, I knitted a 9 petals 2 layers rosy flower for the embelishment. I think it works very well.

Sometimes I really love making small things. You can sort of get to see the outcomes in a short period of time. If you’d like to make this, here is the free pattern for you to download.

午夜惊魂

昨晚正睡得一个昏死，突然听见电话铃声大作。我从睡梦中被无情地惊醒，试图分辨到底是哪里出来的声音——在做梦还是已经到了早晨？惊魂未定中正准备指使老公去接电话（因他睡在靠近电话机近的一侧），铃声居然就消失了，没有再听见第二声响。

这是谁呀？我侧身查看闹钟，才四点二十。谁会在这个时候打电话给我们？

体验了这瞬间的惊恐，我的大脑开始渐渐清醒复苏，辗转不能再入眠。于是起身去上厕所，回来后才慢慢又失去了知觉。

早上起来后浑身酸痛，吃早饭时查看电话记录，是个“Private”的号码，于今晨4：21am打入。真是有病！！！幸亏不是恐怖片，否则简直跟“午夜惊魂”无异！～
