Stash it!

-

While hubby is watching a concert by H (Marillion) on Second Life (yeah... I know... weird...), I decided to make myself some cafe choco, slice off some filled speculaas (Dutch winter delicacy, yum yum), and take some photos of my newly acquired stash. It's becoming quite a 'stash', and I've confiscated the shoe trunk for all my stuff, as just the drawers I got two months ago aren't big enough anymore :-)
I got some cool yarn for the Sock Wars (yes!!! Ammo in da house!), some yarn for boy scarves and hats (which I should really get started on, but the weather is still too nice...), and some softies for winter stuff for wee H.

The reason I went to the LYS 'P', was to get yarn for the mitten exchange. Guess what I forgot to buy. I know. Disgraceful... This means I'll have to go back some time this week to get it anyway. The LYS 'P' is closing down, and I've only a few more weeks... It looks quite impressive this mountain of wool in front of my PC... I added them to my Stash list on Ravelry as well. Guess I'm weird too ;-)

O yeah, and here a quick look at my pink mittens. A better picture and a piccie of the Mimosa will follow soon. I'm not very good at juggling a camera between my chin and boobs...:

Shetland - day 3 - Monday October 8

Our third day in Shetland, and a very special one. Not only my wee boy Samuel celebrated his birthday - he turned 6 - but Monique as well. So while I phoned home early in the morning to sing Happy Birthday to my son, Monique had her own choir on the phone ;) After a quick breakfast, we set out for Lerwick, and on the way there we decided to go for a walk along the beach first, before venturing into town. Wearing my Shetland hat, which became a very welcome, warm and trusty companion The cemetery at the Knab We drove around Breiwick Bay and parked our car at the Knab, a natural promontory facing Bressay, where there are several relics from WWII and also a huge cemetery, with some amazing and beautiful headstones. Almost a view to die for... The view from the cemetary Although the weather was lovely when we arrived, quickly the wind picked up and it started raining. We ran back to the car and drove back into town. Time for some birthday cake! The Museum was an obvious c...

This is how they've slept the last two nights. Two little angels (don't ask how they behaved during the daytime, because the sleep only comes after a lot of laughter and playing and music, ergo short nights, ergo cranky kids)! I'll have to miss this sight a few evenings next week, as I found out today that I have to go into hospital on Monday for a planned cyste removal. It's a bit eh... sudden! I've been on the waiting list for weeks, and it turned out they had the wrong phone number. The fact that it was right on the official forms and that I'm listed in the phonebook apparently didn't matter. Anyway, just enough time to ensure that the kiddies and daddy are taken care of and that other appointments are moved (which was not easy, as it's a day off today for a lot of people, and I also had a work appoint halfway across the country today - thank God for e-mail and Internet!). It also means that I'll be printing out a few knitting patterns for the ho...

Dusting off the sewing machine

After creating my own little crafting space in the attic, it was inevitable that I was going to start using it. Last Summer, we bought some nice fabric at IKEA to use for new cushion covers, and, as I was too busy with work and knitting, the fabric disappeared in a box... Until last week! It then took a few more nights of stewing over ideas and designs, and then I realized what I was supposed to make with it: a new cover for our Pello chair . We rescued the chair from a charity shop a few months ago, and the cover was, well, faded and included some interesting 'design elements'. I had washed it a few times, but it just never regained its former glory. But would the fabric we had not be a bit too loud? So, first, I decided to sew up a smaller project, to see how the fabric worked. I made a small crochet needle roll from a similar fabric, with a larger print, and some pink. With my confidence in myself and trust in my Husky restored, I got to work. Measuring, cutting, more meas...
