I still don’t really feel like blogging, but I thought I’d do a little update today. :: I’m not knitting at all lately. This cat of ours had decided he wants to be on my lap early in the morning and evening (my usual knitting time) and he doesn’t want to share. He’s sort of…

Silent
This weekend was filled with talking. Some inspiring, some tiring, as it goes.But now I feel like being silent. So here’s another non-post (sorry, I will snap out of this soon).I did want to share the beautiful full moon and the pink sunrise clouds that we had earlier this morning with you though. Wishing you…
This is not a blogpost (three reasons why)
Three reasons why I don’t have anything to blog about today: 1. I’ve been out grocery shopping and running other errands yesterday. Somehow it all took a long, long time and it was so busy in all the shops! When I finally got home I was too tired to prepare a post (I usually do…
Knitting and reading
After that case of startitis my knitting came to a full stop. Not immediately, but that shawl I was trying to make… didn’t work out. Also, I started to doubt if I really wanted to make a bikini coverup. Wouldn’t it be better to make a cardigan with that yarn?And then I started a baby…
Dresses!
One of the things on my (long) list of things I’d like to be able to do, is sewing my own clothes. Now, I don’t have the time nor the patience to look through intricate patterns, adjust sizes and things like that.Or, to be honest, I tried that and failed miserably. Not my kind of…
Right now
Right now I am… :: looking back on a wonderful, relaxing weekend :: gearing up for a busy week :: trying to keep that feeling of “getting there” that I found this weekend :: feeling a bit weird because there are painters setting up their gear right in front of me :: excited because they…
Simple satisfying sewing
I promise more interesting projects will be revealed soon (dresses!). But it was so satisfying to finally get this off my list.And my new sewing set-up made it really, really easy. If you recall my older crafty goals (I stopped posting them because there was no progress at all), I’ve mentioned making a table cloth…
One word, three things
Last month I chickened out of writing about how it’s going with my one word. Because… actually, it wasn’t going too well. And it still isn’t. But maybe I have to accept that too (accept is my word this year). Three things I’ve learned so far: 1. I really, really struggle with accepting the not…
Dreaming of a craft room
Long ago (in a galaxy far, far away – or so it feels), I had a room of my own. To sew, to craft, to write, to store my stuff. It was a gift for my birthday and I loved it so, so much.As our family and our needs changed, I first moved my stuff…
Real furniture
We’ve been living in this house for about half a year now and while there are days when I feel completely at home, it sometimes still feels so new and temporary.Last week I finally realized why: we still hardly have any real furniture! Well, we do have a bed, of course, but no real closets…
