Yesterday I did make it to the right Welcome Shop (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can read how that went last week here). And gosh, they did have quite the collection (it’s not a yarnshop though, but for a shop that carries just about everything – I wouldn’t be surprised if…

They all want to swim in our pool
A few weeks ago, Chris asked if I had any house updates to share. Truth to be told, I’m not sure where I left off and my archives… well, that’s a whole other story (in short: I thought I had saved them, but I lost a lot of my pictures).But when I was writing this…
32 years
Today marks 32 years of marriage with that guy in the picture. It’s been a wild ride ever since, but I would do it all over again if I was given the choice today. Happy anniversary, T.!
Garden dreams, reality, and drying herbs
I’ve always had this romantic image of how it would be to have an actual really big garden (not just a little backyard). Heavily influenced by Soulemama‘s beautiful posts of course. I just pictured myself wearing a pretty sunhat and flowy dresses, moving mindfully around the beds, harvesting a bit of this and a bit…
Three things
Three things that make me happy this week:
Ah, that’s better!
To be honest I hoped to show you a very big haul today. But in the fist shop I visited yesterday I got a bit stuck in my color choices. It also didn’t help that the very friendly and helpful lady of the shop was hovering over me while I wanted to take some time…

In my efforts to get really excited about knitting (and maybe a little bit of crochet?) again, I decided to find some patterns I’d like to work on (for the grandson, of course!). That turned out to be a little bit overwhelming. (not pictured: Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Baby Surprise Jacket – I’ve wanted to try and…
Weekend doings
We had a great weekend, full of resting, swimming, knitting, cuddling with Jul (the cat), ending it with our first trip to Kokomo beach in over a year, where our favorite band was playing. Such a great way to gear up for the week! Not that we plan to have a busy week, we’re still…
A good start
Morning tea and a cat on my lap. Such a great start of my day. We’ve had a great weekend, but I didn’t take any pictures. Just spent a lot of time in the pool and ate out a few times. Now I feel up to normal life again. First on the list: give our…
Home!
We safely made it home. The house is still standing and just a little bit dusty, the garden exploded, at least half of the houseplants are still alive and two of the three cats that visited us regularly (strays that we feed and give some attention) already came by to say hi ( and ask…
