I'm knitting a new scarf, i want him to
match with my favourite bonnet and gloves,
i think he does.
It was warm and sunny today.

A garden.
I took these photos in the Rubenshouse courtyard, i was
there to see an exhibition , but got more interested in the
beautiful renaissance garden though, especially that old
pine and the many clematis vitalba bushes; it felt as if i
was coming face to face with a school of manic muppet
drummers.
Anyway, i'm going to post more gardens in the future, for it
is an old love of mine; when i was a child i had my own mini-garden
on my father's property, it had a surface from about 10 square
meters, my dad used to dump there his cast-offs :)
I don't have a garden now, i'm not counting my blackberry fielt,
but my love for gardens will stay for ever:)
Goodnight!
ps. the tiles come from Rubens' kitchen.

My wardrobe, part two.
This zigzag jumper has always been my favourite,
to be honest, i'm not really keen to give him up:(,
but he perfectly fits his new owner :)
Live goes on :) ( to be continued )

Big wardrobe cleanup.
I know a perfect way to create those tiny well organised drawers
( in order to compose my thoughts and to develop self-control :)
only have to clean up my place, that's simple,
a neat place stands for a bright mind :)
Problem is, can't throw anything away; that goes also
for my wardrobe, even when the garments have become far too
tight or too girlish for my age.
OK, i made a decision, I'm having a big cleanup and will post
in the next following weeks all the knitwear i once made that
are worth while of showing here.
Only need to make the photos ...
This is my crammed wardrobe, and...
...these are not my legs, i wish they were.
The same for the shoes!
FIN.

Someting warm.
The frosty cold will last for at least one more week,
because of the wind they forecast -10°C!!!
Good gracious, don't know how i will get through
another week of freezing weather!
Poor achy head of mine, need painkillers almost everyday.
Anyway, i bought some woolen fabric yerterday
to make a very easy dress . I only have to sew the front
and the back together and set in the sleeves, no zippers.
...
Can't make up a name for that cute crocheted garment on the first
photo, depicting zjé's aunt J. when she was a young girl.
Any suggestions?
Keep warm !

Meet Jul.
We also may say 'Jul' or 'Julleke' :)
Whenever i look at this portrait, i start to giggle,
what a glamorous pose!
So, this is Julian, born two years ago on Christmas night.
He likes to play Lego and loves to watch Nijntje (Miffy)
on TV.
I loved Nijntje too when i was a kid, in fact i still do :)

Slow down.
while keeping still and silent,
doing nothing,
spring will come and grass will grow
all by itself
Ritva wrote these wise words to me some days ago.
I will keep them in mind in the future.
Had a very relaxed day though, only did pleasant things
such as embroider and making soup.
Started this 'wormhole' series about a year ago,
the two I'm showing here are still in progress.
Look here and here and here for the finished ones.
I will show them together in one post when the series comes
to an end.

This was on the radio the afternoon, actually meant
for kids +6, but i loved it.
Sweet Dreams :)
