How's everybody?! Are you also 'enjoying' the fall weather? We (Amsterdam) have experienced a heavy storm with huge trees falling into parked cars and it even got a woman killed when a tree fell on her! Luckily, the weather's been behaving itself since then..

I got a bit delayed this week writing this post since fiance and I were so busy. We had a lot of family and friends coming over and I was especially busy with presents and gifts this week. First, I had arranged a 'high tea' for my friends at my house, and gifted them the Schnuggle packets I made for them. And, since one of my friends just had a newborn baby girl, I also made some cute headbands last minute:

 

And I had decided to give fiance a guitar for his upcoming birtday. But since he's a lefty, I had to order his gift from Spain via Belgium. It came this weekend and I originally had stored it in our attic, but I just couldn't wait 3weeks more! It was a total surprise since of course he wasn't expecting anything yet! I'm happy I also still have some small presents to give him on his birthday!

 

In the meantime I'm still working on the Christmas present beanies, and I've almost finished the fourth beanie, so I have one more beanie to go!

 

I also started making bookmarks for Christmas presents, my first project with a 1.25mm hook!

 

 

Once the beanies and the bookmarks are finished, they go into the box which I will be sending to Canada! I've already collected a lot of stuff to send, mostly candies and cookies that we have locally and is not available in Canada.. Somehow I think it already looks festive!

 

 

Then, the 8year old girl who lives near us came by yesterday to give me a present. She had crocheted (finger crochet) a keychain for me! It was so out of the blue and sweet and heartwarming! Look it!

 

 

And after cleaning out our closets, we donated a big bag of clothes to Romania through our other neighbours! It's more charity than gift, but still.. It gave me good feeling! So that was my week! Untill next time everybody!
