The autumn is definitively here, with long dark evenings and cold temperatures at night.
What is nice with the dark evenings is that I can burn a lot of candles - I love candles :-)
I have mostly been working on small items this week. Above is a coin purse with a see through window and a ring for keys.
These potholders was fun to make, as was the bigger coin purse for DD2.
She is going to Tarrytown, New York, on Thursday, to stay a school year, studying English + Fashion & Design.
She loves to shop for shoes, dresses, sunglasses, chocolate, handbags, perfume, cupcakes, shoes + + The pattern is from Anni Downs' last book.
I am sure DD2 will have the time of her life, and if I were young, I would love to do the same :-)
I had to embellish the zipper with this cute charm :-)
I am sure I will miss her more than she will miss me!
There are always Skype and Facebook!
Miss Cat is taking care of the relaxing around here, and she has pushed my freezing paper out of the basket to make herself comfortable.
The autumn invites to cook more hot meals, and home made veggie soup is great - easy to make and great comfort food.
I know I will make another batch of soup in a few days.
Home made low carb cracker bread is also nice to make and to eat.
Note to self: Knitting of bigger things than hats, socks and mittens is not for me!
I am still knitting on the bolero jacket, and even if it looks like it will come out nice, I do not enjoy the process.
My arms and neck hurts, I get tension headaches, even after a few rounds, and I am really bored stiff, and I feel it is taking time away from my beloved sewing.
I used to knit all the time, and I know all the do and don'ts of knitting and relaxing muscles, but my arms are not for knitting anymore.
The small things, like socks and baby hats on bamboo needles are nice and easy though.
I am determined to finish this jacket though - soon!![11260168_p[1]](http://lh6.ggpht.com/-YcxHJAxbJmE/TnS1kfLohJI/AAAAAAAAG9U/iOjlZdlMvVk/s1600-h/11260168_p%25255B1%25255D%25255B3%25255D.png "11260168_p[1]"){kind=small}
Motivation is an external, temporary high that pushes you forward.
Inspiration is a sustainable internal glow which pulls you forward.

Det var mange flotte "små" prosjekter du har laget. Den kattepusen din, har virkelig gjort det å slappe av til en kunst !
ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy this weekend :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteJeg har kommet til samme konklusjon ang strikking. Starta på antakelig samme jakka som du holder på med, men måtte overlate den til en kollega. et babyteppet jeg strikka til amandaprosjektet tok knekken på armer og nakke her.
ReplyDeleteHi Hanne... I just love your small projects... You got alot done... the soup looks yummy... Knitting is not my bag as well.... I feel it takes too log to compleat a project... I would rather do embrodery... Hugs :)
ReplyDeleteSå mange flotte ferdige prosjekter :o)
ReplyDeleteKan skjønne strikketøyet er juling til nakke og skuldre, jeg har ikke knekt koden for å kunne holde på med det uten at det "kjennes på kroppen" selv, så skjønner det kommer i siste rekke :o) Jeg holder meg til småtteri som ikke tar lang tid, så da går det bra å holde på litt innimellom.
Ønsker deg en riktig flott ny uke, med nål og tråd ;o)
Klem,
Laila
