I have this thing about painting. I would very much like to be the kind of woman that just goes ahead and paints some walls when she feels like it. But I am not. At all. I tend to procrastinate when I really need to paint and I never paint for fun. I think it…

2019 :: knitting
2019 wasn’t my best knitting year. Well, it wasn’t my best year whatsoever, but I am writing a post about knitting because I already wrote about finding home and I didn’t want to get too deep into the other things that happened this year.Still, there was some knitting and I did find comfort in that….
Happy Monday!
We had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday we met with some friends on the beach. We had a bbq to celebrate the new year and just sat and ate and talked and did nothing at all. It was good. On Sunday we both felt rested enough to tackle a few things around the house. I…
Crafty goals
So here we are. A new year. So much time to make so many things.I’d like to join other makers and list all the things I want to make this year.But to be honest, I’m feeling a bit uninspired. I love making hats, cardigans and sweaters, but I really want to shift my focus to…

Right now I am…
… looking back at some really great family gatherings… so happy that we’ve managed to take some family pictures… even happier with the pictures I got of my parents.… feeling under the weather today… looking forward to more family gatherings… but also looking forward to going home… trying to enjoy our time here as much…
I feel like Goldilocks
Not that I’m house crashing with three bears, though. That would be… weird. To say the least.But the hats I’ve been making for my mother did get me thinking about that fairy tale.Remember? The first beret I made for her was too small. The second one was better, but actually a bit too big.But now……
