A ray of sunshine

 Look what the lovely and talented Saskia of Sas Knits It Again sent to us! The knitted items are her own design and very much appreciated by our bunch. She recently started her own business in knitting and design, so pop over and give her some good luck vibes.

Tyra loves this bag so much that she immediately stuffed it with her favourite things - three Barbie dolls, a collection of nice round stones, a sketch book, colored pens, a wand - really everything a little girl could need.

This yummy soft Blue Faced Leichester wool yarn is dyed by Storm op Zolder  I think it would be perfect for a pair of socks, the Swedish thick kind called “raggsocka”, but for now it is displayed in a bowl so that I can admire it whenever I wish.

Every little child should have a a perfect, soft, knitted ball like this one. It can be tossed and kicked anywhere in the room without any risk of distroying anything valuable. As a mom I must say that I appreciate that feature.

Saskia also made these beautiful stitch markers using Delft blue beads. I am planning a new project just so that I can use them in it. I am dreaming of Norah Gaughans Medallion Scarf (Ravelry link) in a variegated green meriono yarn. Two skeins are already purchased and winded into balls. 

The yummy candy included in the package was, unfortunately, gone before I had time to shoot it. I do enjoy the Jasmine tea though. Thanks so much for all your lovely treats, Saskia!

This feeling is going to change me

March 20, 2008 at 5:47 pm · Filed under eco, me, family

The new jeans I bought before christmas to congratulate myself for loosing all my pregnancy kilos are too loose fitting now. I do not mind. I feel light. Ready for change.

 I apologize in advance for my irradic postings. I hope to find a new routine, but I am not counting on it right now. So, why all these sudden words?

 We have bought a little house! It is a small, bright and very interesting structure which will fit our family perfectly. An old school building will be rebuilt into a string of houses with a small patch of grass in the middle. It includes a lot of work on our part, designing everything inside, but I do love that our house has a history. For so many reasons. It appeals to my heart and my soul.

I have a strong need to stay firmly connected and grounded throughout this process. The move is sure short in distance, but it has stirred such a strong rediscovery and re-evaluation of my core values.

Will you stay with me on my journey? Even if I do not write about knitting in every other post?

There will, on the other hand, be posts about building progress, scandinavian interior design, lots of worries, failed sewing attempts, chaos gardening AND knitting.

My next post for example, will have lots of knitting in it. Not my own, but by someone very talented.

Hope you will have a Happy Easter holiday!�
