Hello everyone! I'm Rachel, a vaguely nomadic postgrad student, musician, folkie, knitter, language enthusiast, bookworm & dog-trainer, from Wales. This blog is an outlet for my inner-crazy related to my many loves and interests, from music of many varieties (especially folk!) to languages, TV shows, books and films.
Not spoiler free, reaction gifs are never mine (credit to the beautiful folks who make them!) x
Random Musings of a fangirl
cuimhnigh-i-gconai said: I’m watching Buffy and agonizing over languages! Usual Saturday night? And I am now dying over Shetland lace, I blame you *Things to aspire to*
I love Shetland lace…I readily accept all blame; one day we shall both post photos of our spectacular Shetland lace creations on Tumblr and everyone else will be jealous of our skills!!!!!!
In other news…a lady in the Shetlands actually knitted a garden fence (Yes, you read that right…) in Shetland lace. WANT.
cuimhnigh-i-gconai said: YOU. YOU GET ME. *pathetically keeps pretending I know how to knit lace*
Keep up the good fight! All looks good to me! I love lace…LOVE it - Shetland lace will forever ensure I never completely go to the dark side (a.k.a The Land of the Hook).
Also, go to sleep! :p Oíche mhaith! Nos da!
the-omniscient-narrator said: Wow that’s so pretty!!!
Thank you! I fear I’m become a crochet addict, though….
I crocheted stuff…and it was FUN - I fear I may be crossing to the dark side!!!!
*locks hooks away and clings to knitting needles*
Today it is raining, generally miserable and gloriously Welsh here…so I’m going to curl up with the hounds, a stack of knitting I need to finish and hope that, somewhere around Queen’s Club, there is enough sunshine for the tennis finals to be played!
(Alternatively, I will watch Rob Roy…and try to forgive Liam Neeson for the appalling accent)
best. flashmob. ever.
I am legit in tears.
literally the best thing ever.
I have goosebumps
that crescendo gets me every time.
This is just really great.
Every other flash mob should just quit
This flashmob for the win.
Joyous beauty.
Every other flash mob should just quit
