Ends' pegs

I had decided to empty my storage of yarn before I bought some more. But I'm always tempted by yarn in new cool colours, like with this cotton one from Søstrene Grene. 

I've knitted some squares that I don't know quite what to make of. 

Have to think about that.  

Anyways, there were some leftover yarn, and it's so annoying when the ends get tangled up together and make a mess. 

So I got out some clothes pegs and wrapped the leftover yarn on to them. 

Very practical  

- and no more loose ends:)

Got the idea on a tour around Pinterest .

Box tower

Turned out we had some available storage space.

So on my latest trip to IKEA I found these boxes on sale, and I bought a lot of them.

We build them together, my daughter and I,
we folded and screwed,
and had fun making towers :)

Now all we have to do is fill up the boxes!

Time for lunch

My new favourite food-wise: Avocado.
Looking good -
tasting yummy:)

Haven't used it much before, don't know why,
but these days it goes with anything,

breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper.

Here on rolls (warm from the oven) with ham.
Delicious!

Here I am - this is me

I rearranged the bookshelves in the living room a couple of weeks ago - and I'm very pleased with it. 

It feels so me!

This has it all, because in decorating I love 

- light

- books
- vintage and retro

- the severity of black & white,

- but also a splash of happy colours. 

- graphic patterns, particularly stripes

- wood

- flowers

There are more pictures of the shelves in this post.

This picture is my contribution in NIB's challenge 'Here I am  - this is me'.

Muscari coming through

I'm totally infatuated with the muscari these days. 

It's changing day by day, and now the buds are opening up. 

The tiny bells, the soft blue. 

So simple.  

So beautiful. 

A sunny spring day

Who could have thought that, after yesterday's grey fog that today would be the brightest day with a shining sun and the bluest sky? 

It's so lovely:)

We've spent the afternoon on the terrace, had our first ice cream of the year or a cookie, a lemonade or a coffee, read the paper and done some knitting or danced on the terrace. And all this in the warmth of the sharp spring sun. 

What a super start on  the weekend.

Happy  weekend to everyone!

Officially spring

It's March! 

Is's officially spring!

And it's been the darkest greyest day since January! 

But inside, a budding Muscari is trying to convince me that it really is spring 

no matter what the colour of the day:)
