… we moved to the new old house! … we made some (but not a lot of) progress renovating the house (still no ceilings) … I didn’t knit one stitch. But I got a bit of an itch to dig up my knitting this morning, so there’s hope. I don’t think my 20 hats before…

I don’t feel like blogging (or being on Instagram) lately. I thought it would be good for me to keep it up, but it feels more and more like one more thing to check off the list, instead of doing something fun, so I think I’ll take a little break. If you’ve been reading my…

When all other ideas fail, take pictures of plants…Wishing you all a relaxing weekend!
Three on Thursday :: August intentions
I’m not really sure where July went. Well, actually I do know, I spent most of the month worrying about my parents and T. Since the reason for that won’t go away, I need to learn to live with it.I don’t want to spend the rest of this year feeling as lost as I have…
Knitting & reading
Knitting: still working on the sweater, didn’t make a lot of progress yesterday. I am thinking about knitting a lot though. I miss knitting hats and think I’d like to challenge myself to knit 20 before 2020 (next week there are 20 weeks left in the year). I probably won’t make it, but it’s fun to…

It’s great for knitting endless stockinette though. (I know… audiobooks. I…

Oh, those birds… I’ll have to learn not to leave my food out in the kitchen unattended. Not that I usually do (I’m very aware that it will also attract cockroaches and ants). There wasn’t any food to be found when I took this picture but they’re constantly coming in to check.
Three on Thursday – kitchen progress
Last week we added three things to the kitchen in the new house: 1. a stove.Still to be connected to a gas bottle that we haven’t bought yet. Baby steps… 2. our dining room table.One of the two pieces of furniture we moved with us from The Netherlands. It used to be my parents’ and…
Knitting & reading
Knitting: well, there isn’t much more to share since yesterday. Did a few rows, but nothing much. Wish I could be knitting and reading at the same time, but somehow I can’t manage that right now. Reading: not as much as I’d like to, but I found a new funny author to binge read and…
