Ooops...late again ...sorry :)

…so I was sitting here and thought I do my blog post a day early , as my weekend will be over and I'm back to work tomorrow.Only to discover that I'm actually nearly a week late. Sorry ! I guess I was so busy that the days just flew by and I was convinced the 2 week posting day would be tomorrow.

Hello :)
I really need to set myself a reminder so I don't keep forgetting to post on time.
I really am a busy bee in the moment. Next month I will be hopping over the channel to visit family and friends in Germany. To save on postage for Christmas presents I will be taking them across with me ...if I can get everything finished in time. Some I buy , but I also make things myself , and that requires time. So every spare minute I'm not at work is used to plan, prep and make currently.
Obviously I can't show what I make either... as some sneaky people might hop on here and look at what I post :)

But I have another scarf for myself ready as well...
This one is knitted in triangle shape.
 It's a very light yarn, so perfect for the first cooler autumn mornings or evenings when the wind here at the coast starts to blow.
And by the looks of it autumn isn't far away. The Horse Chestnut trees are already changing colour. They are always the first here to change, followed by the Cherry and Maple trees.

I'm looking forward to autumn.It's the time to get "hyggelig".
This is what "hyggelig" means :) It's a life style I am definitely adapting !
And have been for a while... screw overtime at work and stress.I've done my part and now with almost 52 I feel it's time to calm down and let the younger ones do the extra hours.   I'm making the most of my free time by doing just what I like.
That means a tea/hot chocolate or glass of red wine, sitting in my rocking chair with my yarn and music or a movie, at my desk relaxing with painting or other crafts and shutting the world out .
Warm bubble baths , soft cosy blanket evenings in pyjamas on the coach with a good book when it gets colder , wrapped up warm for autumn walks in the woods or along the beach , candle light, the flickering of the fire (even if it's electric ) and mulled wine to warm up after a walk. Not to forget pumpkins... yup, autumn can come.I'm ready for this :)

Isabella from @two_me is starting another 3 day macrame challenge on the 27th.This time it will be a plant hanger. Of course I'm taking part again.I have done plant hangers before so it's not really anything new to me , but it's fun to work in a group with others , even online.Plus there will be a price for the best one in the end. I already have a picture in my mind what to do ....
I'll post pics of the progress and the finished project next post.

And I wanted to say thank you for all your comments. Really appreciated.

Hugs Snowy

Your triangle scarf is beautiful. I agree, Autumn is a beautiful time of year. It's the winter that I don't really like. Cold and me just don't get along. I'll be looking forward to seeing the new plant hangar. You have a wonderful week, hugs, Edna B.

Time is such a funny thing! Sometimes things take ages and with other things you wish there were two hurs in one hour.
I think you are right to take it a little more easy with your job. if the income is still nice enough without too much overtime, why not? ou have more than enough hobbys to fill that free time. In a way I like autumn too, thinking of cozy evenings, etc.
But I think I am more of a summer person, with long days, warmer temps, just popping out without a jacket or sweater,
all those things.
I guess, each season has its charm, or pro's and contra's.
Oh, next month to Germany. That will be a nice time.
Hopefully with still some good weather.
Have a wonderful week,
Hug

Thank you for the lovely kit. I'll be looking forward to the next installment. I have had fun with your kits. I'm going to round up all the scrapbook pages I've made for the last couple of months and put them on my blog which I haven't touched for a couple of months I think.
