The Green Dragonfly inspired me with yesterday’s post. The pictures of her garden are outstanding (especially the one with the little dragonflies admiring the butterfly!). So this morning I went out to take a picture of the flowers in front of our house. Not quite the same, I guess 🙂
If you like to compare – here is what it looked like in summer (we only moved in June, no „real“ garden planted yet):
„Life is very fleeting. It’s important to be gentle and optimistic. We look behind and think what we’ve done in this life has been good. It was simple; it was modest. Everyone creates their own story and moves on. That’s it. I don’t feel particularly important.“

CrochetConcupiscence posted „20 free patterns for one skein projects you can complete before Christmas“ the other day and I instantly fell for the crochet Bookmark (above), the Crochet Market Bag, the Mindless One Skein Scarf, the Reversible Unisex Crochet Hat, and the Crochet Bracelet. It looks like a lot of people will get handmade presents this year!
This morning we had snow! It would not last but still: SNOW. About time for me to start another blanket to keep me warm while working on it.
Surfing the net, looking for anything crochet or monster or both can easily keep me up way too late. There is some awesome stuff out there! It’s been a while since Noisy Pitta (http://noisypitta.blogspot.de/) posted her green alien.
Isn’t that a fabulous creature?! I have been looking at it more than once and finally last month a distant relative would arise from some left over raspberry red ball of wool.
