Missoni-tasticness and Other Stuff

If you've been reading this blog, you already know my views on The Wonder and Magnificence that is Missoni. I think it's the Official Knit of the Blog actually. Which reminds me. I'd better make the Normans the Official Conquerors of the Blog before I forget.
If Willow and Lotus are reading this, I'll be needing a second Missoni-esque necklace to match this cardy. I'm thinking Tiffany blue, green, white and mauve. With maybe some crystal whatsies thrown in for Good Measure. Can you get Your People to Talk to My People?
Here's my whippersnapper friend R from Cotton Socks in a Missoni cape tripping the Light Fantastic in Paris a few years ago. I know. It's beyond stunning. I hope she has it locked in a bomb proof safe because I am dead set tempted to pinch it for myself.
Rachel Zoe's little kid Skyler has his own Missoni cardy.

My Baby doesn't need a Missoni cardy, because he has this:

Willow and Lotus's Mother Sandra hand knitted this for him before he was born. She even chose the colours to match his nursery! I am going to get it framed when he outgrows it.

He is 9 million/10 adorable and entertaining. Every mother thinks her kid is beautiful but I am getting stopped on the street these days by strangers commenting on his gorgeousness. Really. But let's face it, those shoes would make anyone look Good.

Meanwhile I'd like to thank everyone for their well considered advice and input in relation to the important issue of the length of my new curtains (look I never said this was a blog about World Peace). Although there are rooms in this house with super high double height ceilings, I don't think this particular room can take the pudding or puddling effect, so as soon as I get my mitts onto some iron on hemming tape (thanks Beanie), they are going to be shortened.

Since it's Arctic, I actioned a sort of spicy seafood stew arrangement. I got the idea from a re-run of a South American Food Safari show. You know. The one with Maeve O'Mara. Apparently Coriander (that you might know as cilantro. Or maybe you don't) is Key.

Nothing is happening in the garden. There are maybe 2 blooms tops.

Thank God for Interesting Foliage.

Someone asked what I thought about Kate's wardrobe for her Canadian tour. I loved it. But I'd like to see more brooches. And some nail polish. But apart form that she looked fab. In less happy news, apparently Princess Charlene didn't stay in the same hotel as Prince Albert during their South African honeymoon. What's going to become of them? And is anyone else fascinated by Rebecca Brooks or is it just me?
