Antici … pation
It’s remarkably difficult to not post about Giftmas or Sinterklaas at the moment, everywhere I point the camera there are trees …

Scenes from Amsterdam
Speaking to some friends this week, it feels like there’s a rough patch we’re all going through. So take what you need; whether that be love, support, joy, laughter, friendship, compassion, or just some peace and quiet.
We had a remarkably quiet weekend here. I think the recuperation was needed. I’m sure we’ll be more adventurous next week.
Be well, and happy.
Blending in with the Locals
Last Winter everything was a bit tight around the belt-line. The expenses had been many and varied; what with moving country, buying an apartment, and Giftmas being in Winter in this strange hemispere … So we made do with a lot of things. Including our Winter jackets from Australia.
This wasn’t a problem. We had plenty of layers, and never got cold. We just sometimes looked like starfish … But we’ve fixed that now! We both finally have our very own Northern Europe Winter Jackets!
Check out how amazing we look! Would you like to know more?

Hello all of my lovely readers out there in blog-land! You’d never guess the seasons were changing, but there has been a decided nip in the wind since our return from the United Kingdom!
The shawl I took with me on the trip (scroll to the bottom) has been dismantled. I decided that what it actually needed was beads, and would need to be started again from scratch to add them in. Of course, the beads I bought were too small for my crochet hook … it’s been an on going saga ever since. I’ll keep you up to date when there’s actually progress on that front, shall I?
But I still needed something warm and squishy and sparkly to wrap around my neck! I was fixated by this point! I guess it was a good thing that the local yarn store was having a big birthday sale where I could buy some discounted Kidsilk Eclipse! Soft, squishy, and sparkly! No beads required!
Without much effort I was cast on …
and the pattern was emerging! Would you like to know more?
