My secrets are not so secret because I share

Sorry about being absent for over a week. I wrote a whole post about it that blogger deleted so I guess I'll start over. This week I had a couple of dates with a couple of friends. I went swimming and we watched movies and crafted all Saturday and well into Sunday. I didn't really finish anything this week, I was mostly busy starting and consequently frogging said things, but now you can see some proper starts.


My secret project, I started a chevron ripple blanket, wonder if I have enough yarn. Would be nice, if not I guess I just have to buy some more;)
I have no idea who I am making this for though, but it could fit for a lot of people for a lot of occasions so, guess it is not a bad idea to have a blanket on hand.
The Supersecret project is here on day one.


My supersecret project, I am making a garment, in baby wool,  it does not itch thankfully. 
I love the pink, I think it will fit nicely with my knitted shawl. When I finish said shawl I'll show you how well they fit, which hopefully won't be long. And then I can start the knitted jacket I have been drooling over, hopefully that to will be finished in time for the secret occasion...

I hope I can finish this garment in time, and I hope it will look good... This is day two.


Oh, yes I did. I painted more, when I started to paint the second bookshelf I had some fun and repainted the first bookcase too, a little pink in one compartment, I think the effect is fun, boyfriend does not, but I did remind him that this bookcase will eventually be filled with books you know so the pink won't stand out too much. And I like it. So there.

Did I tell you I know sort of want to paint the living room now too? 
But first is my other furniture that needs painting, then we'll see. Boyfriend does not want to paint the living room, but boyfriend never wants to paint anything.


Bunnies and I are still busy. Valmin is still a sweetheart and Mimle will now stay a little for cuddles on the sofa, she even tooth purrs. Valmin and Mimle flops and does laps daily so I think bunny-life is good.

Påskekos in the house


This Vacation has seen us doing lots of little home-improvement and life-hacking along with some serious "kos" time, so want to see some accomplishments?


Yesterday we were at some friends house and played cards, I had lots of fun, I didn't win though, which usually equals no fun so I guess that proves how good the game is. 
And yes, I brought knitting, crochet and cross-stitch, because you never know what you are in the mood for. 
Since I started my shawl with the long end my rounds are going faster and faster and it seems I will only use two or three skeins which means there will be plenty left to make a crochet border. ^^
I am definitely making another one later, but this year is about me, it is about time I made some stuff for myself too.


Oh, and about things for myself, I have finished painting my dollhouse, three coats of shiny white and  it looks good if I may say so myself. Here are all my knitting-crochet-sewing books and patters and some boxes with yarn and started projects. I think I will like this corner. Let's just hope the bunnies know how to leave it alone...


The bunting on top is something I made a few weeks ago. I think I will make another because it looks so cute on top of my house like that.


In the ongoing season of bunny-proofing everything we bought some floor vinyl and put on the floor and side of the IKEA HOL to prevent spillage of hay and easy cleaning of accidents and stray poo. Honestly it was well worth both time and money because we only had to fill twice yesterday which I think is a first. Bunnies love it.



Also boyfriend and I went for a walk and this little dude said hello, I love birds that live near people because this little guy could not care less about us or the cars and just happily sang away.
