I actually had a post planned about three things that are on my mind these days, but this one thing took a whole lot of words, so I kind of cheated and cut it into three parts. 1 I’ve been struggling a lot lately with feelings of guilt about leaving my family behind. I knew…

Startitis
Well, that was fun! I usually have only one, maybe two projects on my needles, but sometimes I just have to give in to the urge to start more. And so I did.I have no less than four projects going right now and I’m actually thinking about casting on for just one more… The first…
Beach party
Last Saturday we spent an afternoon on the beach with friends. We had a bbq, drinks and lots of fun. I know I sound like a broken record, but this is what makes life here on the island so great. I love the fact that this whole thing was “planned” only a week in advance…
Current Cowl
I’ve loved this cowl/showl from the first time I saw it on Chris’ blog, and I was so happy when she send me the pattern (it’s not available online yet, I think). But of course, life got in the way of making it right away. And then I started, but let it sit for a…
I love…
In honor of Valentine’s day, I thought I’d list ten loves (besides my husband and children and family). Yes, I know that’s quite similar to yesterday’s post, but it never hurts to make more lists like these, especially when I don’t feel so well (both physically and mentally).My life is really kind of wonderful, I…
Three things that make me happy

Fun! 2. seeing T. being all excited about the new business he’s starting.He’s always…
A hat!
I’ve been browsing the blog to make sure, but this seems to be my first finished knitting/crafty project this year. Oy! No wonder I feel off…Anyway. This simple hat actually took me a while to knit, but it turned out just as I wanted it to be, a simple k2 p2 ribbing, followed by garter…
Right now
Right now I am… :: hearing the birds sing to welcome the new day:: seeing the sky slowly getting lighter and the moon shining less brightly :: remembering the beautiful full moon we enjoyed last weekend (that’s the moon in that picture!):: feeling a bit better than yesterday and a lot better than last weekend….
A sick day (or three)
Last Friday, I felt seriously under the weather. I had been sniffing a bit throughout the week, but I woke up that morning with a sore throat and feeling feverish. Although the media assure us that The Virus is not on the island, I thought I’d better be safe than sorry and rest as much…
Postcards from Klein Curaçao
Klein (Dutch for little) Curaçao is a tiny island east of Curaçao. It’s symbolized by the smaller star in the flag.Even though people always say going on a boat trip there is one of the things one should do when on Curaçao, we never did it. Until a few weeks ago. We took D. there…
