I've had a bit of a crazy crazy week. The company that I work for got taken over on Wednesday, which I thought would mean all doom and gloom. However, on Thursday I got a call from my boss asking me to go to New York for 2 weeks next Wednesday. Or rather, this Wednesday, which gave me less than a week to get everything I needed to get sorted right. So I've been freaking just a little. I'm naturally crazy excited, and it's going to be amazing and really hard work, but in between I wanted to get lots of Moose and Bear things finished off. And also planning what I'm going to do whilst I'm away. When I used to travel all the time for work, making stuff in hotel rooms was a real time for getting heaps of things made. But this time, I'm in New York - hello!!! But then again, I also want to see if I can pick up some cool crafty stuff, alongside the heaps of clothes, shoes, books, and other things that have crept onto my shopping list - I will be a veritable "two bag Brit"!!
Also, I was planning on taking some embroidery and crochet on the plane, but I don't know if a needle and a crochet hook will make it through security. Anyone any experience of Heathrow Terminal 5 on this?
In the meantime, I listed little Nico and this cute teacup online, and have taken pictures of the cross stitch ACEO that I made a couple of weeks ago. I haven't listed it yet though. Cross stitch was the very first thing I learnt to do, from my grandmother, and I to this day find it incredibly rewarding to do. I am naturally a big fan of the subversive stitching genre, but apart from that, can't find much use for it in my life. Having said that, I do think that this ACEO is pretty cool, so I'm really hoping that someone snaps it up!
I also found out today that my amigurumi pills have been featured on the sweetfigments blog - yeh!! I love that place, so that made me really happy!

ooh...now I don't know if the needle and crochet hook would make it on board...a phone call to the terminal might be necessary. Have a fun and safe trip!!
Congrats on the travel; I'm excited for you going to New York! I personally have taken a mini scissors (the folding kind, and also an embroidery clipper) as well as crochet hooks on the plane. When I was going through security they stopped me and I panicked because I thought they were going to take away my needles and scissors, but they took away my lotion instead, haha!
Love the cute teacup - so much so it has been featured on Cuteable today. http://cuteable.com/
Crochet hooks should be fine. Needles might be taken away (depending on who's doing security that day) so your best bet would be to use wooden or plastic needles. I think metal just makes them suspicious.
Have fun on your trip (if I'm not already too late in posting!)
