Hey there. Once again my sincere apologies for lack of content – I do in fact have some linky things lined up, but thought it would be nicer to spread them out a little in between actual posts.

Cheating?
I was going to talk about spinning today. And possibly knitting. But I’ve just been too knackered to do either…. Here’s (some of) my wip collection! Not telling how long they’ve been in there….
Do daily photos count as postcards? Go check out my new blog if you’re bored. It’s just for laughs, something I can also do when I’m tired and foggybrained but refuse to give up. (yes, yes, I know what I said last Thursday but if I’m having fun it’s ok, right?) And, well, I did say I was going to do more Photoshopping in the future! I’ve been doing a bit of an experiment – how often do readers look at my menu? Answer according to wp stats is: Virtually never! 😀 (it also says nobody clicked the music video in my last post. Next time perhaps I’ll embed it. On autoplay. See how many subscribers I turn away or something *EG*)
If that’s not enough, here’s some cuteness for you, last Saturday I was babysitting. Meet Peanut the poddle puppy:
Monday, we’ll talk about oak leaves. I already dun that post, so I can go take a nap. 😉
Actually I’m ok today, I just thought I’d like to write ahead a bit and you know, hang out someplace away from a keyboard and actually do stuff. Perhaps.
Er det snyd?
…hvis man uploader daglige fotos istedet for at lave rigtige postkort? Jeg har lavet en ny blog for sjov, til når jeg trænger til at fedte med et eller andet men ikke orker snakke eller tænke. Og så har jeg testet, hvor mange der kigger i min menu, sandsynligvis ingen. 😉
Jeg ville have snakket om at spinde og strikke i dag, men jeg har været for træt til nogen af delene, så det bliver en anden gang. Masser af projekter i kø, men man skal jo kunne holde øjnene åbne til den slags.
Og så har jeg babysittet en pudelhvalp, hvis I trænger til noget sødt.
Activity?
So I promised this would be knit-week and then I haven’t had any more show and tell here. Such is life. I did knit, but not as much as I hoped. To prove that I have indeed been doing something, I’ll share my tada! list with you:
- Got the plant dyed yarns out and started on the first planned project – using the oldest ones since the new ones really should sit until next year so I can see how much they fade in storage.
- Finished priming one of my homemade sketchbooks, working away on the others, one 2/3 done, one just started.
- Started doodling in the sketchbook.
- Did some painting 2 days in a row even.
- Read some books, some nonfiction as well as “The Sunne in Splendour” by Sharon Perman
- Walked the dog in the forest quite a lot, as per request. AND tested the pocket camera I was given.
- Started spinning some fiber I dyed last summer, just recreational spinning, no project in mind. Another one lined up for a challenge.
- Made a few stencils out of laser transparencies which I was given a whole package of (100). The circular cutter came in handy among other things!
- Baked swedish buns “rågsiktskakor”. Yum.
- Woven almost half of the ends on my sweater dress and wore it.
- Decluttered my desk.
- Found a foam block and the fiber that I wanted for some needlefelting.
Aktiviteter
Jeg havde jo lovet at holde strikkeuge, men det er ikke meget jeg har fået rapporteret her. Jeg har strikket en smule, men ikke så meget som planlagt. Så nu vil jeg i stedet kede jer med ugens tada! liste, ikke at jeg holder op i weekenderne, men jeg trænger til at lige huske hvad jeg egentlig har nået.
- Rodet lidt i mit plantefarvede garn, taget et par nøgler frem til mit første planlagte projekt og strikket nogen prøver.
- Færdig med at grunde den ene af mine hjemmekogte notesbøger, 2 mere på vej.
- Skriblet en smule i bogen.
- Malet en smule, endda 2 dage i træk.
- Læst et par fagbøger færdig og et par romaner, “The Sunne in Splendour” af Sharon Perman og “Taxo Luma” af Lars Muhl (meh).
- Taget på hundeture i skoven og testede det brugte lommekamera jeg har fået.
- Begyndt at spinde noget BFL jeg farvede i sommer, ikke med noget særligt formål, bare afslapning. Og fundet mere uld frem til en udfordring på Ravelry.
- Kreeret skabeloner af overhead folie som jeg fik forærende, cirkelkniven kom lige til god anvendelse igen.
- Bagt svenske “rågsiktskakor”.
- Syet nogen af enderne på min sweater, damn det er kedeligt….
- Ryddet op på mit skrivebord.
- Fandt en skumblok og de fibre jeg vil bruge til mit første nålefilteprojekt.
