peachy dress

I fell in love when I saw this dress 

detail from the back

thank god for friends having little girls to wear peachy dresses
pattern and yarn: here

a summerday in the city

yesterday I went to copenhagen to hang out with a friend of mine

lunch outside, wine, talk, crafty time and lovely weather

who can wish more....

I also made a visit to one of my favourite craft shops, Garn-iture

the cheerful tins on the top of the shelves are lovely

there will soon come new ones in the shop

squared with room for craft supplies!

you can get knit and crochet patterns for adults too

some people think that the shop is only for kids

...then I'm a childish adult

yarn de-stash

my cotton potholders are done

I'm quite satisfied with this small de-stash project

today is a good day

I'm reading a book, baking,

 hand quilting in the garden

home alone - just me and a sunny tuedsday

my new stone

this is joy - a snail mail gift from abroad

a new necklace

a beautiful crochet covered stone

the stone is made by this talented crafter
here are a few photos from her blog

Parsnip and me

I did it - I finished my Parsnip tunic

and we are already best friends

it's an A-line tunic and as you can see, you can also wear it alone as a dress

- or with a pair of jeans

the pattern is featured in Purelife - the recycled collection by Rowan

yarn: Purelife Revive - a recycled Rowan yarn with tweed effect

I really like the yarn

it's hard to see the lovely colours in the yarn

my feet are happy and blue
