A litte Scarf

 Hallo my lovely ladies, hope you are all having a wonderful day so far.

Over the last three days I worked on a little shawl, which I think turned out pretty nice, even if I do say so myself. As knitting is not my first love, it always seems to take me longer to complete a project. But lately I have been wanting to get those knitting needles between my fingers and to learn new fancier stitches and to find out more about lace knitting. Now mind you, the scarf that I just finished has no fancy stitches involved, only a yarn over at the edges, but it is a start, don't you think?

Well here is the finished product:

Crafting Mojo

Yes.....I am actually here. Hard to believe huh? The last time I was here was in May and I know that is just way to long not to post. But sadly I have to admit that I seemed I had lost my crafting mojo for some time. Part of it I think was because my life just got way to busy and at the end of the day I just couldn't sit down and crochet or knit because I was just to tired. Things are still kind of hectic but they also seem to be getting better. I feel the crafting itch coming back, slowly but surely. Have you ever been in this spot, not wanting to pursue your otherwise favorite thing in the world? Well hopefully the feeling will stay and I can find my way around slowly once again. I want you all to know so, that I have been reading your lovely posts and enjoyed them very much. So Friends, Thanks for hanging in there with me and I hope to see you all again often.


So here is my first project starting up again. I love this little hat and it didn't take very long from start to finish. I used Jaeger Ascot yarn, about 75g. Got to say I loved working with this yarn. It is soft and it stretches well.

Hope you like my little hat, as I will surely enjoy it this coming winter.

For now I bit you all farewell and hope you have a great day!

A Quick Hallo

Today just a quick Hallo as my day turned out busier as anticipated, but that's alright as I enjoyed it very much. I got to spend the morning with a friend in her gardens. We sat in the beautiful sunshine, watching the butterflies and birds, listening to the frogs doing their little song and of course enjoying the wonderful flowers making their appearance to the new world. The coffee wasn't bad either.

I did managed to work on a little project today. I had some old picture frames and I am trying to turn them into something that fits into my current theme of my household. Well here is the first one that was dry enough to hang up. What do you think?

Before

 After

Hanging on the wall....Had planned on putting a picture in it, but my sometimers set in and I couldn't find the cord to the printer. so that will have to wait for another time.

I am not sure why my pictures are not turning out very good lately. I know one of the problems is the lighting in my house, but maybe it is also the camera I am using. I am thinking I would like a little better one. But than again it might just be the operator, lol.

Here are a couple more bad pictures of the other project I told you I was working on. I have just bought the bedspread for my guestroom. It's very colorful, but that is not showing up very good on these pictures. Now I am making a few granny square pillows to go with it. Maybe one in stripes as well. Also thinking about adding some little flowers for accent. Will try and get better pictures when they are finished. As I am spending the whole upcoming weekend with my patient, I am planning on finishing them and also going back on working on my afghan. Hope to show you more soon.

Well, will see you all later.....Bye for now!
