So here we are, it’s 2013, and what can I say? Thank you for visiting the häkelmonster every now and then, thank you for commenting on my posts, for your approval and – probably most important – thank you for welcoming me in the world of crafts and blogs. Your company and support have made this an easy one.
May the New Year be good to you, may all resolutions be kept (…), and may we see or read or write each other soon.
Happy New Year!
crochetime suggested a „new world (where) we will only sleep under crocheted blankets – banishing duvets. Granny Squares will become currency and sheep will be holy animals.“ and I am getting ready! Here’s my folded …
… and unfolded blanket.
Now, where do I get a sheep?
The Green Dragonfly inspired me with yesterday’s post. The pictures of her garden are outstanding (especially the one with the little dragonflies admiring the butterfly!). So this morning I went out to take a picture of the flowers in front of our house. Not quite the same, I guess 🙂
If you like to compare – here is what it looked like in summer (we only moved in June, no „real“ garden planted yet):
„Life is very fleeting. It’s important to be gentle and optimistic. We look behind and think what we’ve done in this life has been good. It was simple; it was modest. Everyone creates their own story and moves on. That’s it. I don’t feel particularly important.“

CrochetConcupiscence posted „20 free patterns for one skein projects you can complete before Christmas“ the other day and I instantly fell for the crochet Bookmark (above), the Crochet Market Bag, the Mindless One Skein Scarf, the Reversible Unisex Crochet Hat, and the Crochet Bracelet. It looks like a lot of people will get handmade presents this year!
