I have been bad!

Somehow I have managed to not work on my YoP projects for weeks! I had planned to finish some of my WIP's and then start on some new projects. This resulted in exactly not that. Bad. Bad, bad, bad me!

So what have I been doing? Well... other things! I tested this scarf crochet pattern. I made two fall wreaths and a fall bucket list...

Then I started on a new crochet jacket. It seemed so warm, comfy and cozy. So typically for fall and I just couldn't resist!

But what's the point of having a list if you keep being tempted by new ideas/projects?!

I really need some advice from you guys on how to stick to my YoP list! Maybe starting on the christmass presents on the list will give me a boost? Maybe treat myself with something nice when I finish a YoP project! Hmmm....

Fall's here!

Today it's officially fall! The trees are already changing colors and leaves are starting to fall down. And have you already made a to-do-list for this year's fall? I have!

I was inspired by this list and several other lists, but I adjusted my to-do list as we don't have hayrides or pumpkin fields in the Netherlands :(

Let's go green!

Hello... How are all my bloggy friends today? I hope you are all well and continuing to be happily creative!

Cute Fluffies

Already posted most of these pictures on my other blog, but I just had to also post it on this one! Sorry!

I'm just a bit smitten by these cute fluffies, so I'll post some pics here too!!

Lovely Surprise ~Adorable Cuties

Today I went to feed the ducks, and got a lovely surprise!

There was a family of swans swimming around! (click to see bigger pictures, it's lovely!!)

Oh how lucky I was that I had my camera with me!

They came so close! Do you see the grass of the bank I'm standing on?
These ones are pretty up close:

It was such a lovely site! I have never seen such a big swan family from so close!!

What pretty creatures.

Lovely Little Things

We've had very strange weather lately.

At first it was raining and cold (16° Celsius), then the tempature spiked up to 30° only in one day, and the day after we had a weather alarm! We had a thunderstorm last night and today it's windy and grey again with 16°!  Brrrr.

But when I opened my curtains today, I had to smile. My little trees are in bloom again!

Every winter I have to put them inside otherwise I'll freeze to death, but I'm never sure they make it. This is the 3rd year they survived! (that's a lot for me since they're also the first plants that survived - ever!)

Bless those lovely little things!
