I couldn’t help myself… I just thought it would be too cute, even it was just for a picture to satisfy this crazy knitting granny. I made a hat for the father to be and a much smaller one for the baby to match. There’s not much else to tell about them, just simple stripes…

A bit of decorating
What? Oh! No, not for Christmas. We’ll be away from home at Christmas, so I’m not going to decorate here at all. I know people start earlier and earlier, but that’s not my thing. Also, I think it’s getting worse each year, because of the influencers trying to stay ahead of everyone and then everyone…
Thrift store treasures
The most fun about going thrift store shopping is that you never never know what you’ll find. I do have a list of things I’m looking for in the back of my head, but I learned to keep an open mind for anything else. If I just look for the things on my list, it…
Hat #3
By now I’m pretty sure that I’m going to try and make six hats for Christmas. That should be doable, especially since the sixth one is going to be tiny (three daughters, two sons-in-law and a grandson who will probably be born by then). This is the third, so I think I’ll have them all…
Getting there
Thanks for all the well-wishes on my last post. I’m getting there. Still not feeling completely up to writing comprehensive sentences (and probably overthinking my posts way too much because I’m a bit off emotionally) , but defintely better than last week. I’m sorry for posting a non-post again, but don’t worry, I am working…
Giving up
No, not on blogging. I’m still trying to keep going. That’s actually why I’m writing this post to announce that I don’t really have something to post today. I have been sick most of the week, to be honest, but I had some posts prepared and decided to publish those. But if you’re wondering why…
A house dress
Isn’t that what they called it in the old days? The kind of dress you wear when you’re doing chores at home (and in my case in the garden)? That’s exactly what this is. Not exactly meant to go out for diner in, but comfortable in any way and more or less “nice” enough for…
Kitchen doings
(after uploading the pictures for this post, I realized there were a lot of pictures of processing herbs and not too much cooking. Oh well, I’m going to post it anyway) The chef from a restaurant we visit often gave me some fresh thyme he wasn’t going to use. He knows I like to make…
These rainy days
The cat is not amused and wants me to end it. My husband’s mood is more or less the same. My philosophy is that it’s best to just take things as they come and I strive to find beauty in everything. Today I couldn’t really find the words to express that beauty, but luckily there…
In my garden
Still very much a work in progress… Some days I’m slowly cutting back useful herbs and trees to process later, other days I’m just pulling grass and other unwanted plants and filling up my wheelbarrow. But I’m getting there. And, more important, I’m enjoying every minute I spend out there. Working in the garden has…
