something new ...

From time to time,

no matter what I'm making,

I start something néw, or even pick up something óld,

to get my mind from the thing I'm doing just then

(it might be the restless-nature-bit in me ... ?

anyway, that's how it goes)

something old                                             something new

Some days ago I discovered (through another blog) the name 

Sophie Digard

There is not much to be found about her,

just that she discovered crochet some odd years ago,

learned how to do it, 

and

got hooked !

I was so thrilled about the colours and patterns she uses 

that I wanted to try it right away !

So I left the little mitered (old) vest to dry on the blocking board

and started to make lots of little squares 

that will be part of my interpretation 

of Sophie's wonderful work.

But there is more "new" !

(had to do a bit of late-night babysitting before I could finish this post)

When I saw that Eva Nerling, a great German artist (and blogger),
made some new watercolours, I sent her an e-mail about it.
In fact we agreed to a "swap"

Today came the package with one of the watercolours for me

THANK YOU, Eva 

(Ha, ... I'm over the moon)

(Eva has to be a bit more patient before she receives my end of the bargain)
