In sickness and in health


Last week I got infected with the flu (as so many among us).  After a couple of days I had the courage to take up my crochetneedle again and started working on some new pieces.



The more vibrant the colors, the better I was starting to feel!

Totally cured now :-)

The kitchen garden number 2

On the last day of 2012 we've got the good news that we could rent a small parcel of land to start growing a kitchen garden. 
This was the state in which we received it, still some unharvested vegetables and quite neglected.

 But no worries, we want to jump into this green adventure with both our feet.





The hubs started working in the garden every weekend and then it started to look like this : (it's all his work, I don't have the green fingers, but surely will have the pleasure of cooking and eating whatever comes out of that soil).



The virtual garden was made on computer during the period of snow we had.



Now the weather started to be a bit better, the vegetable beds were made.
Three trees are in the garden too, but we don't know yet what they will bring us; apples, pears or prunes maybe?



This was the actual state on sunday the 17th of February.


Catalogues are browsed to find the best seeds.

But .... kitchengarden number 1 needs to be taken care of too. Remember, that is the one we made in our own garden, before we knew we would get the soil in the allotment. 


Can't wait for spring to see the first seeds popping up.

Some crochet, some wire


 Started with 2 silk crocheted tubes of only 6 stitches.


Put some wire inside and start twisting them around a tiny round stick.

From back to front

 
These earrings you shove through your ears from the backside to the frontside.
 

 
These are shoven from front to back.

 
Little details that make the difference !
