Clearing out for Xmas

-
To be able to afford a great trip to Norn Iron in 2 weeks time, we decided to clear out the attic. And yes, it is also nice that in the process, we are reclaiming space in our cupboards, getting rid of cupboards, and creating more space to play and just relax. So, to advertise our 'stuff', here's a link to our ads! If you like Warhammer novels or are into Marillion, like manga drawing or Babylon 5: HERE'S YOUR CHANCE!!! Remember, there is more to come, so just put it in your Favourites, and check back again tomorrow, on Monday and again and again!!!

Our ads! Come and see it here!

I know, nothing knitting-related. You weren't really expecting me to be selling any of MY stuff? Come on now... :)

And just to stick another feather up in my arse: my snowflakes were selected as pictures for the pattern on Ravelry! Isn't that cool! See them here. You have to be a member, but if you scroll down, you can see pictures as well. Ravelry used the finished one, with red ribbons on them for all 4 (I did not use that picture here...)

Ah ik dacht daar gaat de stash maar nee...

Altijd grappig dat je aan de MPhandel een beetje kunt zien wat mensen bezig hield voordat ze de zolder op gingen ruimen! Ik wens je veel succes, bij mij is de handel helemaal ingestort.

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...
