My new favorite chocolates, all with licorice. :) The first one is from Iceland and it is divine. 

I do decree that I will have this chocolate every weekend until forever it is soo good. I got my mother hooked on it too, I think.

Mimle is not very impressed, she prefers crisps over chocolate, and ate some yesterday when they fell on the floor. Ooops. Then we vacuumed to make sure all the crisps were gone, and she found another wooden-toy to demolish.

So now it looks like this. Again...

And since this IS the year of the blankets this little beauty has resurfaced and I am now on my third row and third pink colour. Here is the pattern I am using, and I am using some Helen Novita yarn I bought years ago. (it is now discontinued, which is why this blanket was so slow going I had no idea how to make it with the limited balls of yarn I had at my disposal, luckily I found some more yarn, but not in the same pink so it will be a three tone pink thing with a purple and grey border I think, but we will see when I am done.)

And I am knitting. It is not much, but I hope I can turn it into something, I just need to reach 35 cm and then someone has to teach me how to do decreasing….

Oh, and my letter was published in the latest Cross Stitch Card Shop! So I will get a prize one day. :) Lucky me!

Sorry I have been a bit awol. But I have been busy, mostly with my crochet, but I haven't really that much to show for it yet, but I will post when it is finished. :) I have decided that my alpaca blanket needs another row so it will be wider. Bunny and I have been busy taking afternoon naps as well.

I have made this little guy from the latest Cross Stitch Card Shop. I really liked him. And look at the lovely tablecloth boyfriend bought for me. It has everything! It is Springy, has a bunny, a crochet border and dots! I LOVE it. Even if yellow and green are two of my least favorite colours I somehow seem to gravitate towards them when spring is coming….

I have also made something for another swap, but I can't show that until it is sent and received;) But I can tell you it is cross-stitched and easter themed, and this may shock you, but I did not make a bunny this time o.0

Yes, we have a new sofa, the old one sort of died. But this one is almost the same, except it is not as roomy underneath says bunny, but she still hides under there for her afternoon nap.

I have made another few rows of this blanket. I have no idea how long it will turn out to become as it is really slow going and all those yarn ends that will need weaving in later…. Also some of the yarn as I have said before is nearing an end, so I will either try to find replacements or finish it when there is no more yarn left. We'll see how patient I am. 

Which usually I am.

Also, we are really happy here in the basement lately because boyfriend has got a job. He starts on monday. These are indeed lighter times.

One of my friends have an older relative who knew I crocheted, she has almost finished this duvet cover, two panels are completely done, and two started. To have it on a single bed it need six panels but she didn't think she could finish it and passed it on to me. I love filet crochet and even if white somehow makes me feel a little colour deprived it could be a nice pause from the very colorful blanket above:) This will truly be the year of the blankets. Sorry for the bad pictures, even if it is sunny since we live in a basement the pictures usually suffer.
