The most important thing that happened this past week was... ... I finally dug out the sewing machine I had gotten from my in-law a year (or more) ago... Haven't made anything yet, but it's all set up and ready to use. 365/226 On Saturday I brought the machine into the house. Cleaned it and...... Continue Reading →
Getting ready for cold days
After my kind of long break I'm back to a blogosphere. That break was really really needed. It's Fall already. Where did that time go?! Geeze. It flies so fast.

Back to crocheting: Very Easy Scarf
So, after having an art show with somebody who crochets and knits like crazy I got inspired 🙂 (THANKS BASIA!!!!!!) I am not a knitter 😉 nor a crocheter 😉 I would say... I know the basics. In addition I like doing something else while watching tv. Lately we've been watching "Prison Break" on Netflix... Continue Reading →
