Been awhile - again

Has been awhile since I wrote anything - again. Has been up and downs as usual and inspiration for it has not been on top. It might come back some time I hope.
Sun is up right now and it is 28 C in the shadow at the balcony so one big + :-). Just miss all real happiness that was ........

A bit fun though, StickaMera has 2 swaps that i´m in. To one swap "Yarn & tea 7", has already friends been distributed, and I have sent a package to Annika that I got a mail from yesterday saying it had already reach her, fast post for once!!!
The other swap i´m in is "Summer swap", end date is not yet to that so waiting for someone to send something to.

And i´m still working at the internet book shop Billigaboken, go in and have a look if there is something interesting for you, it´s sheap to shop there. :-)

Hmmm, grrrr and yarn

Hi all.
Well it has been some grrr time these last day´s and I´m not happy about it at all.

I do not like people who is trying to avoid the responsibility and the law by moving from the country (flee rather I should say). That I hate when they are trying to get away with what they owe in other words! That is the situation with my case and requirements at this time, unfortunately. Procastination, procastination . . . is apperently a way to try to get away from everything and very common infortunately. See post from 2009-12-20 then you understand these words better. Wonder if I ever will see/get my money (wage) some time, get what I have the right to?? I´m quite pissed off (and down some days) and to know that it is not just me that is in the same situation as me it´s, it´s grrrrrrrrrrr and a bit more. I do Not like it at all! Pitty some people always think that they have right and never can have wrong. Everyone can from time to time have wrong!
Enough of that for this time over to som nice, fun things instead.

This is what I got in the swap "Yarn & tea 6" at StickaMera. Some nice Ecological Baby wool yarn. Not sure yet what I shall do, hmmm maybe a pair of winter mitts? Anyone out there have any suggest?? Ooh it was some nice tea in it to :-). Thanks my swap friend Elin.

I have also finished a cover for my mobile phone. I did not like the cover that was with it, it was ridicilous and uggly, black fake leather and totaly open in 2 ends!? This one is knitted in some spare yarn i had (from another swap last year), it´s "Opal Bambus" a really nice yarn. I want more of that but have had hard to find it so is it someone out there know where to get it contact me. Have no pattern to this one, it is made from my own head. On the back I did a "strap" so I can put it in a belt or on a bag if I want to do that. Now my head is a bit empty on words and inspiration so I end it here for this time.

Yarn and mittens

Hi all

Well snow has come a lot and more seems to be on the way :-(. Well I kind of had enough of it now, want spring and summer + some warm weather!

Some nice thing though. A day this week a package came with some tea and yarn in it, yea a chocolate cake too :-). It was my package in the "Tea & yarn swap 5" at StickaMera (see link to the left). Many and big thanks to my swap friend Ing-Marie Å from Kåge. I had some thought on what to do with the yarn but now I have decide to do a pair of slippers, that will be cosy indeed. Ooh the tea tasted good to of course, a special mix from Skellefteå.


I have also finished february months mittens Augusta at the "Puls club 2010" at StickaMera to. They was easy to do and fun because they where fast knitted and not to complicated at all. Did not keep them for myself, one of my sisters got them. Hope she will use them!


Hmmm what to knitt now, hmm well is waiting for another yarn "ball" to the darkblue scarf I´m doing, hopefully that will come monday or tuesday. And I have the slippers to do also :-) :-) and some other stuff. I´m not out of knitting work at all :-) :-).

Ooh I have also notified med too StickaMeras "Sockgarnsbyte"(sock yarn swap). That will be exciting to see what will be in that package. I have never knitted a pair of socks before, well if you not count the slippers that I have just startded on :-). And it is always fun to get packages to :-). I have got a "friend" to send to and hopfully I will sort that out this coming week so I can send it to her.


To my friend, you know who you are!

Hi all
Well today I sent a package, a package to my swap friend in StickaMeras "Yarn & Tea" swap 5-2010. Hopefully she will get it tomorrow or some of the nearest days. And now I´m waiting for my turn to get a package in the box, a bit exciting is it :-) :-).

Right now i´m knitting on the darkblue scarf (not much left to do). I had kind of promised myself just to have one thing to knitt on, hmmfrr. I could not keep that promise to myself :-(. So I´m also knitting on february months (StickaMera) mittens "Augusta", well I have only started and is halfway on the first one.

The "rest" then, the mess. Hmm still the same but hopefully it will be sorted in the nearest future. It´s getting a bit much now (se older post).

take care and be friendly to your friends, a word here and there is worth a lot!
