Beating the winter Blues

Winter is still very present in my cold country and i am ( or shall i say, we are ) feeling the winter blues. People here are starting to complain. Lacking of energy, we are in great need of sunshine and a bit of warmth. Last friday, we had a beautiful 8 celcius with sunny skies. I almost lost my mind, opening my studio door and shoveling snow off my little balcony. Little birdies were happyly chirping and feeding on sunflower seeds i gladly give them everyday.
This birdie picture was taken this morning as i woke up to a grey thursday. Very different from last friday.
I spent most of my free time ( whenever i am not sewing muffinpies ) knitting mittens by the dozen. I bought some beautiful yarn from several etsy shops this winter . I would love to list several pairs in my own shop, as soon as i can grab my younger daughter and use her as my model. despite the fact that i am longing for spring to be here, my love of knitting is still very present. Even in the summer, you will find me sitting in the shade , doing some knitting projects .

Last week, i found some great vintage bedding sheets in a thrift store. Even my daughter was surprised at how nice they looked. Very shabby and romantic. I am going to make some decorative pillows for my new bedroom to be. Spring is in the air, even if there is still snow And more will come, no doubt. We all have this urge to refresh, clean and decorate our homes.
Wishing you all a happy thursday!

warm mittens for cold winters

After much thought, i decided to list several pair of handknit mittens in my shop . I love to knit mittens, i coud knit all day long. But my main work is to make dolls and the demand is great. So whenever i have a little free time i pick up my DPN's and knit a pair ferociously. I thought i would keep those for myself, but i know i can make some more. Well, at least i have a reason to. ^-^
If you love them , if you are a mitten freak like me, visit my shop, i have 3 pairs so far.

Wishing you all a very happy week end. I think i am going to spend more time indoors, (knitting mabe ?) The forecast calls for very cold days, somewhere between -15 to -25c. Brrr ! Need a cuppa tea ^-^
