I’m taking a break from knitting a Christmas stocking in winter wonderland of southwest Minnesota. The snow and the cold, and the warm feeling of the soft, chunky, red wool yarn, having spent the day making ornaments, and Jingle Bells playing in my mind, as well as now sipping on a cup of hot cocoa, has put me into delicious anticipation of Christmas …
A group of likeminded people is the best support a crafter can have! I’ve been a member of many such groups, but due to my travels I cannot attend the meetings as often as I’d like. I miss my “knitting ladies”! Therefore, I’ve decided to start a new circle. Right here on my blog! I’m calling it The Snovej Circle!
In my post Freeform Crochet Basics Part 4 I mention the single crochet spiral. It is so easy to make, it didn’t even occur to me to talk about it until a reader asked about it …
My husband has created small meadows in our garden by leaving some of our lawn unmowed. It’s good for the bees and butterflies, and it’s so pretty too! And no weeding needed …
Today I admired all the pretty wild flowers, and got inspired to pick some. My busy crafter’s fingers started playing with them, and I decided to make a wreath by weaving the flowers around a stiff wire shaped into a heart.
My daughter asked me to bake a cake for her husband’s birthday party last week. She had decided to have a surprise garden party for him at a small community hall/museum close to her home here in Finland.
The theme for the party was America. Appropriate since it was held just one day after 4th of July. But mostly because my son-in-law has a dream to travel to the Rocky Mountains one day. Therefore also the cake had to be an American cake.
I have a day off! I can do anything I want. Wow!
My husband went to Estonia and I’m home alone!
It’s the last day of the long Midsummer weekend here in Finland. (Yes, I’m in Finland again. For the summer.)
After taking a quick glance at my various projects, writings, photo editings and what-nots, I decided to play another kind of game. Today I’ll follow orders!
Dada Neon has a Crochet-Along (CAL) going on. I’ve been following it on Facebook and wishing I had time to join. Well, it’s on it’s 5th week now and I better join if I want to catch up.
