day 14

 Ohhh how time flies
when you're looking back
. . . . .
There are things you don't have to do anymore
things you can't do anymore
things you can still do.
One experiences many changes because of old age,
but, we're still enjoying the fun !

For today I have made a very "busy" animal :
taking good care, so there will be something to eat in winter,
hiding treasures for "later"

My PINK  RIBBON Textile Jewel
for (birth)day 14 :

a wet felted circle pendant with a real acorn cup,

stitched with silk, rayon and cotton
on an adjustable wax cord
(8 x 5cm,  3.15 x 2")

BETTER !

These last two weeks have been very, very busy ...

but the best part is :

our dearest loved-one is on the way to recovery,

getting better by the day

a true miracle

We were very happy that we could celibrate

"Sinterklaas" as we would normally have done :

presents for the children

and a present with a funny poem

for the grown-ups 

(just like it should be)

(there's a great explanation about Sinterklaas here) 

All this, left no time (or desire) for blogging

just reading a bit ... 

and no big stitching, felting or knitting projects either.

Though the funny knitting book I got as a present

on the 5th of December gave enough little things to try !

An acorn, a fly fungus and .... yèk :  a slug ... (on granddaughter's request)

I don't like one as big as this in my garden

(wouldn't pick it up either !!!)

But the book is really fun

*

There's still a pair of socks with the same yarn as the Baktus skarf,

but also little progress on those :

still the first one ...

(we plan to visit the last Stitch'n Bitch for this year

on Saturday : knitting time then !)

*

Hopefully things will be getting back to normal soon,

but it left us all very much aware how precious life is, so

celibrate every day !

And for those of you who will be in the right place :

enjoy the lunar eclipse on Saturday

special ....

Today in Rotterdam

with our Stitch'n Bitch group

we did something very special :

we made a joined mandala drawing

for our dear friend M

sending her all our love to strengthen her a bit for next Thursday

You might remember I showed an "oak tree"

that popped up in our garden this spring

well ... I didn't plant it

though I had a hunch who did !

Earlier this year a jay was looking for something

he had hidden last autumn : something to eat !

This morning before I went to Rotterdam

I saw a jay sitting on the pergola.

The next time I looked he was gone, or so I thought ...

But no : he was sitting on the ground,

hiding something and also putting a dried leaf on top of it !!!

When I removed the dry leaf ...

there was an acorn

( it proved my hunch was correct ! )
