A little Dora moment / Een klein Dora-momentje

-
I'm having a little Dora moment this afternoon... the manuscript has been sent off! I did it! Weight of my shoulders! Bla bla... I am eagerly awaiting the responses, but we did celebrate my 'freedom' with a trip to the local fish & chip shop for a nice lunch. I'm taking the rest of the day off, to see how far I can get with Elijah... who's a bit half-done at the moment...

Ik heb even een klein Dora-momentje vanmiddag... het manuscript is verstuurd! Het lukte! Wat een last van mijn schouders! Bla bla... Ik wacht natuurlijk nog op de reacties, maar we hebben mijn 'vrijheid' gevierd met een lunch bij de plaatselijke visboer. Ik neem de rest van de dag vrij, om te kijken hoe ver ik kom met Elijah... die momenteel een beetje half-af is...

In the end, the SSK tension problem turned out not to be a problem, because it is at the place where the body starts...

Uiteindelijk bleek het SSK-probleem ook geen probleem te zijn, omdat het precies zit op de plek waar het lijfje begint...

Gefeliciteerd met de bevalling van je boek. Nou hopen dat deze mooi opgroeit bij de uitgever en wij er uiteindelijk ook van mogen genieten!

Meissie en olifant zien er erg gelukkig uit!

Geweldig!!Ben heéééééél erg benieuwd hoe het er uit ziet, waar het nou precies over gaat.
Je hebt het best snel gedaan, of lijkt dat nou maar zo.

Hannah ziet er zĂł mooi uit, ik herkende haar eerst niet (op Ravelry...)Prachtig. Lekker zacht denk ik ook.

When you miss a spoke, it gets broke

Okay, I'm mixing my metaphores and it's not proper English, but it rhymes! And it's the truth... 'Cause when I got a phone call last night from big S asking me to pick him and Hannah up from further up the road, this was the reason why: I had noticed a spoke was missing, and like the front wheel, the back wheel was a bib wobbly... And on Sunday, when we were planning to out for a cycle, we turned back home at the end of the street because I thought it was very strange to drive... Unfortunately, I did not get round to bringing it to the bike shop yesterday (see previous post)... and then when I asked big S whether he was sure he wanted to go biking with wee H... well, let's say I did warn them... Luckily none of them were injured, but it did crack dramatically... And now, I'm without a bike until Friday, and then I'll be two proper stainless steel wheels richer and quite a few Euros poorer... Another life lesson learnt... Luckily, the rhubarb crumble is nearl...

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...

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...
