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 :).

Purl Bee’s Best

The Purl Bee posted their Best of 2012 and I can’t help myself from thinking that I NEED MORE TIME to do all the things I really want to do!

As a matter of fact, I really want to finish all those projects laying around here (…), before starting the Rainbow Blanket. Right after that the Penguins will be topping my list – even though I have never sewn before. Let’s hope that in the meantime the Purl Bee does not come up with other wonderful suggestions …
