Deadlines are flying past left, right and center. Have not knit a stitch in 4 days.

DAYS

Yup, since the last SnB night, no progress at all.
Withdrawal is starting to kick in.
But really, keeping on top of work, tons of laundry (I'm with Robyn on that one... sigh), and kids and a husband that need fed and watered: much more important.
Mystic Light and Jeanie are patiently waiting (ehm, do I hear muffled shouts coming from my knitting bag?)
I have however bought some more yarn for another Celestine, and circs to finish Mystic Light. If only I had time to finish just the next clue. I only barely made it to the telly in time to watch Damages this week (which starts AFTER midnight, need I say more...). All the rest of my regular shows, and the ironing to go with it, are still waiting for me too...

I would have been watching telly, ironing and knitting last night, but went out with a bunch of girlfriends for some well-deserved R&R instead (and boogy-ing, ooooh, I'm getting old, nearly fell asleep in the disco at 1 AM *hihi*)

Right, back to my book on blood and immune diseases, then it's on to an accident report for a big industrial company and then a little bit of web content for a small internet trader... (who said life as a translator is boring?)

Two questions high up my Why-list:
1. WHY IS THERE NO CHOCOLATE IN THE HOUSE?
2. WHY DID I PROMISE MY (SUCCESSFULLY SLIMMING) MATES I WAS ALSO GOING TO START THE SONJA BAKKER DIET?

Sigh...
Sod it. I'm having another snack-a-jack.

Als je mijn blog hebt gezien, is het hier van het zelfde laken een pak. Pauze. Een hele lange.

Ik heb te veel chocola gehad, wegens verjaardagstaarten. En op dieet ga ik nooit.
Die Celestine red zich wel.
Nog even hard werken, dan komt het vanzelf weer goed. Laat de naalden maar roepen: je mag zelf weten of je antwoord geeft...

Oeps, dit lijkt op een dijk van een crisis!!!!!!!
Stresssssssssssssss............
Paniek...............

Rustig maar, het overkomt ons allemaal bij tijd en wijle.
Even gaan zitten, even diep inademen.............uitademen.......
En dan eens bekijken wat is nu echt belangrijk en wat kun je eerst even aan de kant zetten.
Zet eerst Sonja even in de hoek. Daar wordt je op zulke momenten als deze alleen aamr ongelukkiger van.
Dan een lijstje van wat echt eerst moet.
Dit doen.
En je daarna belonen met even tijd voor jezelf........kijk dan kunnen die breiwerken weer uit de tas!


Maarre .........succes ermee.

You can start Sonja Bakker and make every day of your diet a SAS-day (Schijt aan Sonja.)

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...
