...phews and oops...

Oh, today Me & MyDoggyFriend had such a rough time at car fixing. It was so hard to wait on the sofa to get the car done. But I must admit; the sofa was perfect for waiting! Finally we made it and had a nap.

You know recycling is important case in MyWorld. So far -in my life- there has not been a day I must have gone to a second hand shop to buy materials. The world is so full of everything; our houses are full of everything... These are my old curtain stuff which I am not going to use anymore in their original style. I have got an idea what to do with them. I am going to do something decorative...

Usually you see finished or succeeded things on blogs -also in my blog. This is not one of them. But that is why I can show it. It is about the secrect I told you before. I started this at a wrong place so I need to start it again...

Shh....

...shh... we all must be very quiet. There's another extremely secrect project going on. I started it last night when the darkness hide my house after long bright summer nights ...shh... It is very secret SantaClausLandProject. Unfortunately -but I promise- you will see a photos of it only on the Xmas Eve 2014 after she has opened her gift. I know she is not allowed but every now and then she seeks herself in to my BlogLand and sneaks to peep about what I do ...shh... shh...

BabyBlanketNo2

It is finally here! It is my own design but anyone can crochet the same. It is...

BabyBlanketNo2!

It has 40 blue squares (5 x 8).

I used Macedonian Teteks Menada yarn (100% PAN).

I enjoyed crocheting it and I love the blue in it. This is part of the last memories of trips to Kosovo. They were not my trips but I always got a bag full of yarn when the journey pointed at my direction. I made this for sale but it might be that I keep it despite there is not babies comming or going...

Boiling water and other activities

I know water is not obvious to every person on this planet. People even go through wars because of it. But in Finland water -clean water- is something we even export. Past few days in my town we have been recommended to boil up every water we drink because of some problem in the system. This is the first time in my life to be told to do so. So, it's a bit confusing. Still I do it because I am not that brave that I'd drink it without boiling... Adventures can wait me elsewhere.

My garden has given me already 14l of raspberries. Not as much as last year but I can not complain.

Some raspberry yoghurt... no added sugar. Just raspberries and natural style Greek yoghurt mixed in blender. Easy, cheap, good and even healthy if you use low fat option.

Bunnies have got pine cones to play with. Cones collect the loose hair from the floor; practical, funny and free activity.

MrGynter was sheared two weeks before planned. He almost stopped eating and doing his needs. He was a bit upset and not at all like he usually is. I decided it was time to cut his wool. He is back to normal happy himself and loves lively running games in the garden. His apetite is back and his litter tray is full on the mornings.

Here is another friend of mine. She is SuperSally from the stable. Very special creature and she -for sure- would do fine as a guardian dog better than most of the dogs. She's OldLady and knows what to do.

Yes yes, you know me, there is no day in my life without a craft. Today I crocheted few more blue granny squares (40 finished) and stitched more MyLilaHeart in my car when waiting SirW. from the dentist to be fixed up with his MillionDollarSmile (yep, still going on with the dental care). And I kept on stitching on my sofa with my cat. Oh, she had soo goood nap.

Fussy Friday

Today was time to take down some of my herbs and prepare them for drying.

I separate the leaves and stalks. I chop the stalks. They'll get hard when they dry but it still is ok to use them for cooking soups from which you can easily take them out or just leave without eating.

I was looped with BlanketNo2...

...and hooked with GrannySquares.

I also had some time to stitch.

PS. I bake also a chocolate cake but I know it is unfair to show it here so that is just our little secret and we all can pretend it never happen...
