a bit of everything

I'm still busy with my cuffs,

but because I had to mount one of my "Solstice" quiltlets

on a canvas (it's sold)

I took out my acrylic paints as well today.

(ahhhhhh ... that's been really a long time, but

that will get a follow-up now, I think)

Here are some of my special "Night" cuffs :

three Full Moons and one Starry Night.

Amazing :

the one on the left I made specially for Daughter !

(you can see the delicate thin wrist she has :

always looking for a bracelet .... but hard to find one that fits !)

(ha, one could throw a ball ...)

Because it's school holiday here, the grandchildren 

are here on the days that Daughter is working.

The oldest is quite clever with her phone, Youtube and a crochet hook

(and Granny has some yarn)

This will be an amigurumi Little Bigfoot Bunny ...

and you can see she's skillful in doing her hair too !

Late this afternoon Daughter came in with a sad face 

she had been doing her laundry

and when she opened the machine

she saw to her horrer

her beautiful new felted hat lying on top of everything else

GRRRRRRRRRRR !!!

It must have slipped in with the clothes she put in the machine !

She came by so we could put it on the hat mold

PFFFFFFT

The hat was washed

but, thank heavens, it still fitted !

What a relief 

She must have done a pretty good job in the first place !!!

making someone happy

It was Stitch'nBitch day again in Rotterdam.

It was supposed to be sunny today, so I dressed that way ...

SÓ happy I was I had a rain poncho (just in case) in my cycle bag :

it rained cats and dogs,

when I got off the boat.

Hmmmmmm ... happy knitting, after I was dry again.

Because knitting does give me so much pleasure, I thought I show you this :

daughter drew my attention 

on some surprise flash mob on You Tube.

It's about a lady, Loes Veenstra  from Rotterdam,

who knitted over 500 sweaters all her life

and stored them ... untill :

this moment ...

when some people gave her some very happy moments, I think 

Go, and see for yourself 

and enjoy !

 At the moment I'm knitting socks for my grandson

in his favourite colour

green !

(one was already finished, but I frogged it 

because it was a bit too tight, the right one, since I have to wait 

and see if it fits this time, I started with number two)

Remember the stained glass technique 

I did two weeks ago ?

Man liked it very much and said he wants to try it too !

He will make a mandala !

Well, the machine stitching will be for me,

but the rest ..... 

(keep you posted)
