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. :-)

Long Time

Hello everyone!
It has been a long time since I wrote anything. The reason is no lust at all for it. And the d ... m shit that has been (look older post´s about me being redundant). But that is finished now more or less, well to 95%. But more on that will come some other day as it is rather late in the night right now.
One good and nice thing is that I now have got a internship (practice place, work), a good one too. Books, books, and books. :-D Yea this place is a Internet bookstore Billiga Boken that has a local in my home town Nora. Go in on that page (se link above) and have a look, I just got a nice knitting book from them. The owner knows what my interest is. :-)

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".

Finished and up!

Hello all!
Today when I looked at the amaryllis bulbs that I´ve put in pots on the 3 of november, I discovered that they have started to grow :-). In other words a slowly progress. So the bulbs were moved to a bit brighter place. Hope they continue to grow to beautyful flowers! I have also finished (some week ago) my new mittens. A pair of red "Fröken Smillas mittens" (Miss Smillas mittens). I also put out pics on my knitting album at FB. Ooopps a reaction it was indeed, seems like red things attracts people :-) and I got some questions and nice words. The red colour seems to give reaction from many different directions and people I don´t even know!

The perfection of art is to conceal art.

A little joy

Hi all!
Again it has been some time since I wrote anything here, have been some (sigh) crap day´s again. And some people are really grrrrrrr and don´t think, they are airheads!
I have also got a time for my "sake" in the court, so in the first week of december I will se if I´m entitled to my right´s (my salary)!

But there is also bright spots that lighten´s up the day. Like yesterday my older sister came with a whole basket with yarn, I got both yarn and a basket :-). Found almost at once some yarn that I can use for a birthday present to my niece´s birthday. Later on when I have put out a picture on my wall at FB, I got after some hour or so a question if I wanted some more yarn sent over to me in Sweden! Ooh more yarn happines :-). So in some time more yarn will come to me all the way from USA!
And I have also been to two nice knitting cafe´s this week, that is also some nice hour´s to spend a part of the day.

The basket full off yarn.

Again some nice music to listen to and I got this link from a friend some time ago. Click the picture as usual to listen and see the video.

Hmmmm, snow!

Hi all!
This morning when I got up and should go out with the dogs on this day´s first walk we all discovered that the first snow (for this season) had come. NOT particulary funny and none of us where specially amused by it, and it was cold to. :-( The dogs needed their knitted sweater´s on. In other words, the winter is not "our" season at all. And Sunny (to the right) is in her "season" or as you also say heat period, phuuu. Soon she is out of her "risky" day´s.

take care
