Where does time go?

Hey everybody,

 

Do ever wonder where time has gone? Man days, weeks, months are going by so quickly these days sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything!

 

So today i sat down and took pictures of all the projects i’m working on

 

90% done, dormouse in teapot.

 

So fun to make and my FIRST knitting project! Not the best but cute. Have to finish embroidering the flowers on the pot and them she’s done!

Knitting is FUN! I never thought i would be able to learn it but it did! Thanks to youtube and some great books i did it. I can’t knit in the round but maybe that’s something to learn for the winter ;)

 

Anyways i’m also a lot in our garden, it’s blooming all over, my hubby takes good care of all our plants, he’s the best in gardening! Even plants that die in his mothers garden bloom wonderful in ours!

 

Picture 036Jup small garden, but wait a few years when my hubby also have a good paying job and we are out of here, moving to new home with a BIG garden for my hubby to play in ;)

 

And of course i have to end this post with our cute cat Oscar, i’m so happy we bought him last September for my birthday, i can’t go a day without him!

What's going on?

Hey everybody,

Do you know that feeling that things have to change in your live? Well i have that feeling at the moment, i'm cleaning the house throwing and selling everything i don't need and i love how much space we have! We bought some big plastic containers for all my yarn and crafting supplies. The room that was once our storage room is now cleaned out and is my craft room! Do you believe that my own craft room, my hubby made me so happy!

Anyways i haven't posted in a few weeks because our cat (minou) had some major epileptic attacks that scared the hell out of me! She's only 3 years old and i don't want to lose here to something like that. we found out that attacks are triggered when something happens that normally wouldn't (like a glass shattering or a the mail man drops something big on our mailbox) so we are extra careful now because the vet told us that they do affect here brain every time she has a attack.

Anyways i'm going to post new photo's today going to enjoy the nice weather first!

New job

Hey everybody,

 

I started my new job last week, still have to get used to everybody and getting to know everybody. I do have a lot of fun and it’s so much more relaxed then my old job!

 

So because of this crafts are a little bit on the back burner not completely of course, started on the fabulous big daddy pattern from Nerdigurumi, and best of all the pattern is completely free! AND she’s going to add the little sister to here site soon so you can complete the set!

 

I finished the head and almost the body

The pattern is easy to follow but so many pieces! So this will be a long term project but i love working on it when i’m watching my hubby doing xbox 360 games!

 

I also started my very first knitting project, i found a super pattern designer named Alan Dart, the most amazing knitting patterns with 2 needles. I never made any toys for knitting because almost all of them use double pointed needles, and i can’t work with those! So i got on ebay and bought myself a dormouse pattern from the alice in wonderland set.

 

I started on the thee post part and as you can see there are some mistakes but bare with me it’s my first knitting project.

So i’m proud i got this far! I want to finished to pot part this week and the mouse the next.

 

Anyways i will keep you all updated how things go with work!

W.I.P Monday

Hey everybody,

Well i did have a busy weekend after al. Hubby’s birthday was great, lots of cake, food and off course presents! He loved the presents i got him so and is playing just cause 2 on his xbox360 right now.

Anyways because the festivities spanned over the complete weekend i didn’t have time to work on the giveaway i had planned, so sorry about that! I will have it up later this week, but i’m sure everybody will like it!

Because i have so many projects i’m working on at the moment i thought it would be fun to have a work in progress (w.i.p) Monday everybody so i can keep track of everything and my visitors can see the things i’m working on!

This week i’m working on:

Final Fantasy 9 Vivi amigurumi, about 25% done.

My very first cross stitch going to be 2 frogs but i think i bought a way to hard kit for myself as the cross stitches are VERY small!

Picture 014












And last but not least i’m working on a felt sheep for a door hanger. Still lots of things to do but having fun!

Picture 015















So that’s what i’m working on at the moment, i do have some other side project (like the granny square bag) but i put those aside for the moment.

So come back later this week for the giveaway!
