Fatboy and Me

I have a two favourite places to crochet:

#1 My comfy couch
#2 On my beach-chair on my balcony

But I discovered one other great place, it might even bump #2 of it's place! My fatboy beanbag!

Oh No You Didn't!

Had a bit of a rough patch this week. First of all when I was working on my cherry swirl bag, my crochet hook broke! I couldn't believe it! It just broke in half and before I knew it I was screaming to the broken pieces in my hands going: "Oh No You Didn't!"

A Night In Amsterdam ~ Part2

While posting my first black&white pictures of my Night in Amsterdam, I fell so in love with the black&white theme that I didn't notice how you couldn't see the lovely sunset! So I'm doing a try-over.. Here are some pictures of the same night but in colour! Here we go!

WIP Wednesday

Wednesday already.. Time flies when you're having fun.

I thought I'd make a birdy button since one of my WIP's is lovebirds..

And once I got started, I also made one for FO Friday!

They're available in my left sidebar if you'd like to use them.

Okay, now for an update on WIP's. Here we go!

A big smile ~ even when it rains..

Rain, wind, darkness and horror is all we got for the last couple of weeks. Okay the horror part I just added, but still!

I had written down this lovely message in my hallway months ago, and decided it was time for a new message! Inspired by my outfit, I erased the old message and started chalking. Here's the result:

Inspiring start of the week..

Thank you all for voting on my poll `Your favourite creativity´!

So I thought I´d share this video with you lovelies, as an in inspiring start of the week!

Year Of Projects Update!

My very first Year of Projects Progress Update Post! Hooray!!

Kitty Photoshoot!!

These kitties are not mine ~ but they occasionally drop by from our neighbours' home and I get so happy when they're here! They are so naughty though! I just wanted to share some pictures with you guys!

A Night in Amsterdam

Last Saturday evening I felt like doing stuff! So BF and I hopped onto our scooter and drove to the centre of our town, Amsterdam! I got my camera to get some shots of the city during sunset!
