New, new, new Year is comming

Soon we will be in 2012, I just only the other day managed to write "11" at the end of the year on dates and it is changing again.
There are some great new possibilities open for me next year as my favourite fibre seller added some more sheep fibres into their shop and also I was very lucky and met Liz, a weaver from UK with whom I hope to cooperate a wee in making some items, me spinning some yarn for her and her making those amazing  shawls and scarfs she does.
The package with 7,5kg of Shetland got lost somewhere which is very sad for me as I was so exited about spinning up some of that superfine for some nice victorian lace shawl.
I have had a chance however to do more work on my only so far planned project and spun another half kilo of Icelanding sheep to hopefully become one day an original afgan throw.
And as if I didn´t have had enough with my last patchwork blanket, I started to plan a new one. Fabric- check, threads- check, design-uncertain but with hopes.
I also made some further designs for future dog toys for the charity auctions. I just might get them right for all those pupz out there.
I do love peacefull Christmas when The only thing which needs to be done really is to eat a bit more chocolate, to walk the puppies to places we usually do not get to and to spin some yarn while watching fairytales and all those old black and white Czech movies...

I hope and wish that you all have Great Year 2012, that some of those dreamy projects and all those hopes will finally come true. But most, most of all! Stay safe, healthy and never alone.

Puppies and Christmas...

Puppies do love Christmas. It is easy to see, since opening hills of treats is something what they see as their due at any time of the year! Now they have to wait all the way to Birthday and how unfair is that?
Therefore, it is most important to make as much mess as possible!

Christmas make crafter busy...

haven´t been about my blog for ages. I know. I was busy you see? This Christmas last minute finishing of everything is my every year problem. It always seem in September that I have so much time left, I ignore October for some reason and in the middle of November I start to run about like headless chicken and panic.
This year however, in the nick of time I managed to finally finish an all important blanket for Dag´s mum.
It is made of 8976 pieces all together. Didn´t believe it when I did the calculation in the end, so I counted it again and again, then asked Dag to do so too... Well, that is correct number :-O!
And here it is, size 205x205cm
