Irish festival in Deventer

I'm going to be very, very lazy about this.
Go see kees' blog... he made pictures and he wrote the story about our 'day in the country'.

It was a great day! :D

Magic Yarn Swap

I am participating in a "Magic ball swap" in The Netherlands. You hand-make (at least) 1 knitting related gift, get some more small presents, with a total value between 15 and 20 euro's, get a ball or skein of yarn and wrap all those presents into one a big ball of yarn.

You sent it to your recipient, anonymously, and she (or he) will find all the gifts while she (or he) starts knitting with the yarn.

Yesterday I received mine:

I can hardly wait to start knitting, but first I need to start some cross stitching swaps.

Anyway: Thank you very much, secret Magic ball partner.. I already like the smell that's coming out of the package and the colour of the yarn is very pretty, dark green. I love it.

There's a hole in my....

:(

Goodies!

Simone found this in a recycle-shop and thought of me. So she bought it and sent it to me. What a nice surprise! Thnx Simone, it is great and I will try it out.


I also got my order from "De Handwerk Boetiek" with my 'Sara Tobias book' and the LHN "The Bookshelf"


I'll be working today, but after that: 4 whole weeks of holidays.
I can't wait :D

10 more!

My collegue Remco has guppies too. He likes them, but his guppies serve just one purpose: food. Remco has big fish, Oscar Fish or Astronotus ocellatus and these monsters eat guppies.

So when he heard I bought some guppies from the petshop for 2 euro's a fish, he told me he could bring me some from his tank. And yesterday he brought them to work. 10 lovely guppies, from very small to large, guppie-large that is.

I have some crappy pictures here:

Guppy-blur

Now I really have a nice filled Guppywood :D
