it started with a broken needle....

I recently posted this picture on both my instagram and facebook.

with the caption - Wasn't sure it was possible but I've snapped a hand sewing needle! X


anyway i had one perfectly sensible comment and then this happened between me and one of my bestest friends Conor. (and yes his name does only have 1n)

conor - Is a sign that you have transcended to a new level of sewing?

me - Nah I think it's just because I'm "sew" hardcore x

conor - That was a "threadful" pun...

me -  I was waiting on "pins" for your response!

conor - You're gonna have me in "Stitches" at this rate!

me - Ain't no "bobbin" about from me x

conor - "Needle" to keep tabs on you!

me -  I'll have to learn to "button" it x

conor -  Nooo, it'd be wrong to keep you "Hem"-med in

me - But still ill try to keep "zipped" and stop "ribbon" you (BOOM TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!) x

conor - Don't think I'll "Bow" to this, if I can ever "Tie" you down I will "Knot" hold back my revenge! (TRIPLE WORD!!! NEW HIGH SCORE)

me - I was hoping you wouldn't "cotton" on to the "fabric" of my plan. I'm going to "spool" you in the art of wordplay. Your gonna wish you'd never "cross"(stitched) me! (I SEE YOUR THREE AND RAISE YOU! BOOM!) x

conor - Don't "Spin" me a "Line"! I'm "Yarning" to foil your plan, I "Wool"'nt push it too far. I think your plan, is such a load a "Silk". Gonn have to "Enbroiden" your strategies!
 DID SOMEBODY SAY FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me - There's six you muppet 😅

conor - YEAH... THAT'S RIGHT NO-ONE SAID FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!! CAUSE IT WAS SIX!!!! WINNNN!!!

me -  I can see I'm not going to Make the "Cut", I can't pull the "Wool" over your eyes. So I'm going to "Patch" together a clever response, I think that I'm better, "kNot" that I'm "bias" or anything and you "shear" are a "knitwit" ps. Not sure line counts it's almost as if your heads full of "stuffing"

Did I hear eight from the lady in the back? SOLD!

conor - Repitition!!!!

me- WHAT! The duck! WHERE? X

conor -  I Totally used wool and Knot!! Fix!!!!!

me - Yeah it is a "fix" (doesn't count if you don't quote it!) you win gosh "darn" it  x

 I have been "spooled" x

conor - "Eye" take this victory in the name of Mighty Myself!!!

me - As I said "knit" wit ........

and he finished with this picture

my friends are awesome

much love

Conor Thackray - living with it

This week has been a mixture of highs and lows, the most recent low? Getting absolutely sodden walking lil knit wit to nursery today (he had enough sense to request his pram and rain cover) the most recent high? 

One of my very good friends is releasing his own album! And I had the pleasure of doing the album artwork! 

Conor is a very talented guitarist who I've known since.... Well a long dammed time! He also really likes wolves hence the artwork. 

I had great fun doing this for him , mainly because he didn't really know what he wanted , and do this idea immediately popped into my head! 

I'm a huge fan of the self release of albums, I think it's a great way for musicians to get their music heard. Speaking of which if you'd like to have a little listen to the rough drafts of his SELF WRITTEN (oh yeah, he writes himself, even one direction don't do that) songs then you can find them here : https://soundcloud.com/conor-thackray

Although if you want the super duper spiffy versions you'll need to buy the album at a very reasonably priced £3! 

And you can also find him on Facebook Conor 1N Thackray 

Can't really put into words how proud of him I am 

Much love

Frankie
