Mittens and tea

Hello all!
Well today it is windy indeed. So being inside finishing some projects and drinking tea is just perfect. So far no more snow here in Ås (outside Nora, Sweden).

I have finished November months mittens "Pixie Warmers" in StickaMeras "Pulsclub" (mittens club). I made the mittens in Sandnes Alpakka and red one´s this time to. These mittens is a christmas present for my niece, so anyone know her do not tell her please :-). Hopefully she will be pleased with them. So now on to the next knitting project . . . . . . . . . :-).

Yesterday I discovered that there was no teabags left! I use tea bags in the morning and loose tea in the evenings, well other times to but I want to have time for loose tea and don´t like to prepare that when I´m in hurry. Hmmmm, grrrrrr into the pantry and looking round a bit. Aaaaaaa and there I found some tea flower "balls". It is tied tea leaves, when placed in hot water bloom to beautiful flowers. And the taste is quite goood also, shall mention that it is green tea. So I have to use these tea "balls" to warm me up untill today (have tea bags now). The "balls" I used has the long name "China Fujian Floating Osmanthus".

Today´s highlight!

Todays higlight in the crap, crap weather is that I got april months subscription tea from TeFrossa and it is the green tea "Japan Lime". It smells absolutely marvellous something in my style :-). I will try it later this day when I can enjoy it a lot.
On the knitting front I have now finished the first sock! As I have said before I have never knit socks before so it takes a bit time. But they are on the way.

The rest then, the so called "thing" or mess or whatever I shall call it (se post from 2009-12-20) and some small posts here and there. Well it will take some more time but it is back up at LO-TCO Legal Aid (court help). Can´t say so much more as it is an ongoing thing. But something will happen in the nearest couple of weeks. Sigh and sigh it takes a long time :-( and it takes a part of you and the mind! I repeat my self I know by saying this, be in a UNION you do get help when you need it! And courthelp is one thing you get help with!

be nice to each other, say nice word that lightens up the day

Small things = happy

Hi all

Hmm think that small things and small packages, small events and words can make you happy. It kind off "makes your day" :-).

I just had that, I got a small package with a lovely smell :-). It was my first "bag" with green tea in a tea subscription from Tefrossa. Yea you can have that! It has the name "Skärgårds natt" in swedish wich translated to english will be "Achipelago night". Nice name isen´t it?. So that tea will I enjoy this evening and think of the archipelago, water (= freedom) and summer.

And I also got my package from StickaMeras "Sockgarns byte" (sock yarn swap) yesterday. Oooh it was some nice yarn in it :-). I will get a picture on that in the nearest days or so.

Make your friends happy with small things, a word or just support in some way!

Have a nice day

Something new

Hi all on the new year!

Not so much has happened since last time! Still the same at the working front. But luckily I have help there. AND i do recommend to be in a Union, you do get help from there.

One new thing is that i have started to knitt again, the "lust" has kind off come back :-), well a bit anyway. So right now i´m on ha scarf in dark blue alpacka yarn, really like to knitt in that yarn, soft and nice. Have also gone in to Pulsclub 2010 at StickaMera (se link to left).

Have also notifyed me to their "Te & yarn" swap, it´s fun and a bit exciting to see what you get in the post :-) :-).
