There are days where simple thibgs are complicated enough 😘🥰😎

After finishing the last box, I had to make something that was less time consuming… instant gratification in the beaders edition 🤣 So here we go 🤓 Guess the color 🤷🏼‍♀️

My personal independence day 😎

Well well… tough job, but someone has to do it. Btw… 90 illustrations 😳🤣😎😬

A day with more serious gardening …. Seems I forgot the fact, that I didn’t want to plant more before april? 😬 Oh and my first tulips of the season…

Laundry day. Two bras went in separately and came out like this. Perfectly joined. Only women will understand that this is almost insulting of these two little sh@theads. Endless fiddling behind your back to get them hooked and THEY TO THAT RANDOMLY IN THE TUMBLER!!!!! 🙄🤬

And here is the post blocking photo shoot in the sunshine 🥳 There is a retailer crafting fair on the weekend… I guess I know what I will wear on sunday ☺️

This little guy found a representative place in the garden ❤️

Hide and seek Bolonka Edition. Left picture beginner’s level, right picture expert’s level 🤣

And done with this one. The entire process was just a „what if ?“ „lemme try this“ „trust the process“ and „follow the flow“. I chose a brighter red for the edge, almost a fire opal color. This used quite some yarn. Still have to put it on the scales but it is about 600g of fingering weight

While the world gets more and more irritating, I found some solice in the garden tody. The terrace needed a basic cleaning so I took advantage of the sunshine today. I won‘t show the picture of the stairs to the basement… all the leafs and dirty water went down there. That is the job for tomorrow 😉

Finally I a getting closer to the finish line. This is the version of „I know you by heart“ that I am beading for the video part of the instructions. Life keeps me busy theese days 😉 #trytobead

Just a little reminder: The only country that ever called for article 5 in Nato was the United States after 9/11. And all Nato members stepped up and went to Afghanistan with them. And even the Ukraine joined the ISAF. This is not America!

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Ich dachte, man bräuchte eine ausgefuchste Strategie, um die Demokratie auszuhebeln, aber anscheinend muss man bloß sehr aggressiv und verlogen sein.

After totally miscalculating the yarn in the first place, I had to start all over… now it is lava red and this time the yarn will be enough to finish 🤣

Well I have to admit, I am quite a fangirl when my favorite supplier comes around with new bead colors but these are double triple yummie the names alone. … gilded dusk, teal ocean and terracotta blaze 🥰 Ok ok… I will stop procrastinating and finish kit packing 🤓 #trytobead

On the more substantial end of my needlework. DK yarn and a 5mm (H) hook. Pattern made up by myself, a gentle 4 row repeat…. Mindless crochet for the evening… #trytobead #crochet

On my beading board right now… who remembers the name of this one? 😉

Sometimes it is all about the simple things ….

And just in case you missed me, I was right there and it was fantastic to meet close friends that I did not see irl for almost 6 years!

The „Ladies“ in the house delivered… there are 4 still waiting in line to start blooming… and meanwhile my brain is still not in full concentration mode so I am working on a new sample for a „Proud“ kit 🥰 Kinda.. matching the Flowers huh?

Sometimes you have to stop to look at a rainbow 🥰

What can I say… when your friends live on the other side of the world… just go there! After 6 years I am finally back 😊

Long time no travel… but what can I say… same old same old. Nothing changed since 2019… 🤣 almost nothing 🤨

Crochet is the best meditation.. after the third tile you have the pattern in your muscle memory and then you can mentally go through your check lists 🤣 Now off to water the flowers (remembered that during the last tile) 🤣🤣

New balls please! In preparation for a longer plane trip to LA, I had to cast on my entertainment program. I just wanted to get through the set up part and now I can’t stop… but there is still loads of work ahead. It will be a poncho. As usual… no pattern exists, just an idea in my head 😊

How do they breathe??? 🙄😳

The benefit of a stash… An idea pops up in your head… grab the yarn and get started. The downside of a stash… each time an idea pops up in your head, you find all the stuff needed in your place, and forget about the other 16366373 projects of last week… ADHD yarn edition.. 🙄

Finally after days and days of computer work, I could indulge a full day of beading… time for some close up picture 🥰

Sometimes, especially when my to do list is beyond measure, I get the urge to rearrange my furniture… this time my workspace/ living room had no chance to escape… before… after… and CEO checked!

Wenn du minutenlang grübelst, ob es nun orangefarbener Pfeil oder orangener Pfeil oder oranger Pfeil heisst und dann auf pink wechselst… manchmal hat die deutsch Sprache auch für „native speaker“ ihre Tücken … aber nicht mit mir!!!! 🤣

I may not always be under the pressure of deadlines… but there are signs 🤣

Great expectations 🥰

Now when your to do list is longer than the traffic jam on the A1 on a monday morning, and your number WIP‘s was declared highly confidential recently, what do you do? Correct! You do some proper yarn shopping and start another project. 🫣

Snow in the lowlands. Might become a more indoor-ish day 😎

The current state of my sofa. Just 60 more octagons and about 84 or so squares to go… peanuts 🫣
