Easy Owl

Veröffentlicht am von Carina6 Kommentare

Last night I ran out of yarn – no chance to work on either the ottoman cover or the African Flower blanket. Instead, I spent a long time reading (and admiring) my favorite blogs to finally crochet a little owl from stash just like Jacquie in UK and Janette in NZ. And while choosing colors and following the perfect tutorial (thank you!) I mused how small the world has become with everyone writing blogs and speaking English …

So here’s the German owl:

You’re Awesome!

Yes, I am talking to you.

Image of You Are Incredible, Ice Cream Colors

You’re multitasking with a zillion things on your mind; you’re heart and soul, commander in chief, and confidant to the ones you love. You’re a driver, a photographer, art director, and a doctor; all at the same time. You have your share in the household income, you take over responsibility, and you work hard most of the time. You are crafty, clever, creative, you blog. And even though you do not have a genetic disposition to do household choirs you do them nonetheless – just like all the other stuff that needs to be done to keep things going.

The way you balance family, work and everything in between is fantastic!

You rock!

Have a great day!

7 things

Almost every Sunday the German Frau Liebe (i.e. Ms. Love), who lives up to her name with her lovely blog, posts 7 things she did with her hands that very same day. Regardless of what it was or how much time she spent on doing what she did.

Now let’s see what we did today: we finally made cookies! We meant to do this all through december but somehow never got around to actually make some.

Kekse backen

I spent way to much time ironing. 17 of M’s shirts (in words: seventeen) as I needed the hangers …

Hemden

Even before breakfast, I sharpened every pencil I could find – I love doing that 🙂

Stifte

And – finally – I spend some time (not enough though …) writing a paper that I need to hand in on Thursday. But don’t you just love that little computer J made?

Computer

That makes four. Cleaning J’s shoes, preparing lunch, and finishing a (knitted) blanket not included. But you get the idea. So what have you been up to at your end of the world?

The Dachshund

A pet is not on the top of my list for 2013. To be honest – it’s not on my list at all. It never has been, as we live in the city and (at least in my world) animals and cities do not go well together.

However, after surfing the net I know now that I might make an exception … Anne Claire Petit came up with the most beautiful little dog I can possibly think of and I wish I knew how to make one of those.

A 1,000 Views

A thousand views since early December, that is to say since the Häkelmonster went online and I have to admit: it pleases me. According to WP stats, page view N° 1,000 was hit by Jessica, owner of the German Schoenstricken („beautiful knitting“) blog. Maybe I should celebrate this first jubilee by crocheting some more tonight :).
