This morning :-) Crocheting is fun… but kind of hard too ;-) NB: of course it’s a sheepskin you can see on the couch. Brought directly from NZ by dear friends :-D

All the comments on Ermeline (esp. on Crafster) are motivating me to get started on a larger version for myself now, instead of working on a boy’s version first. (plus laurent doesn’t agree on the shape I had decided for the boy version. This will be a cooperative design :-D) Anywho. Anyone who’s ever come […]

Plume was invited to one of her friend’s birthday this afternoon. I had an idea to make a little funky skirt, but as usual waited until the last day to actually make it. :-) This morning was quiet, so I sewed and got Plume to help me. We made a skirt, and matching headband, which […]

I’ve been thinking about it for a long while. Laurent cut my hair last week-end and I’m so happy with my new look ! :-) What do you think ? I’ve also been doing a lot of sewing recently, so much so that I’m starting to think about getting a new machine (with mine, the […]

A day at school for Plume… :-) A new pattern coming this week, for the baby version of the Altay hat. :-)

Un post un petit peu spà©cial aujourd’hui, avec une fois n’est pas coutume, une version en franà§ais ci-dessous: IN ENGLISH: A slightly different kind of post today. :-) Those who have followed my blog for a while may remember that we started an online business with my husband a couple years ago: we started a […]

Per special request, my little Princess has a new hat. Don’t let her looks fool you, she loves it :-) I’m also working on adapting the Altay pattern for baby sizes. Therefore, I’m making yet more baby Altay hats, this time with Cashmerino dk: Yum, so soft and bouncy it’s a pleasure to crochet with […]

It’s snowing… Girls on their way to school this morning. It doesn’t show on those pics, but the snow is still falling. There’s always this kind of fear towards the end of a project. Probably fear that the finished piece will not look like planned, or that I might do the finishing wrong and ruin […]

Happy New Year ! I hope 2010 will be a very crafty and successful year for each of you, full of laughter and happiness ! :-) I realise I’m not posting half as often as I used to before we moved here. My computer used to be located in the living room, and I’d be […]

I love living here. This is the view from our window the other night while I was reading. A pretty old church, a quiet village at night, snow falling, moutains around. What else would I ever need ? (apart from a house and a garden we can call our own, but that’s another story ;-) […]
