some things that made me happy in the last few days:

- harvesting lettuce to make room for other jummy vegetables to grow in our garden!! 

grow, vegetables, growww!!

 

- succesfully turning the heel of my sock all by myself, without any help of my grandma- third time's the charm!!! i'm really liking this sock so far, the vertical ribbing goes quite well with the horizontal striping of the yarn, if i may say so myself. :)

- setting up the easter tree with the cutest birdie decorations i've ever seen!

- seeing swatch no.12 grow and grow! this stitch was like magic! it's called the"tweed stitch", and it's so different from any stitches i ever knitted... it's quite intensive to knit and it creates a very tight fabric, but it's very, very pretty! the pictures don't do it justice at all, but here they are anyway...

no.12: structure/color #3

 oh and the back looks great too! :)

shame on me; i've been a very unactive blogger the last few months. it's not that i stopped crafting at all, but everything seems to be going much slower. except for shortening pants and repairing broken zippers, my sewing machine has been unactive too. (poor thing)

i'm really in my crocheting phase right now...i finished some crocheted clothes hangers this weekend; i've been enjoying the sun, crocheting along... (last saturday i discovered a bunch of wooden hangers for only 5 eurocents per piece in the thriftstore... i can't imagine anyone buying clothes hangers that cheap!)
so...3 hangers down, only 30 more to go!

i also spent quite some time in the garden, filling up the little hothouse my dad and boyfriend made together. now all these babies need is some sunshine and water! i hope my sunflowers turn out right, we're also trying to grow cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, beets, parsley, carrots and parsnip... my favourite!
