Gift & parcel ......

I got a beautiful present from our friends who were staying with us on New Years eve.
They bought me this cute little candlestick in black with a matching cross.

They said it would be nice for our black-and-white toilet ! So i did put it there, but i am sure i am going to use it in many places.

I also had a special delivery from a parcel from Sweden. I bought a few things from Gerda from the shop Idemakeriet ......

Because Gerda was going to spent the christmas-holiday with her family, who lives closeby, she did not send it by mail but her husband delivered it on his bike !!!

All the things have already found a nice place in our house.....

At the moment i have started knitting again on my "summer" patchwork blanket. These months are perfect for those jobs .... and it's really cold so it's nice to sit in front of the woodstove and knit. Do i sound like an old lady, haha ??

Here you see the amount of squares i've knitted until today....

Still lots to do....but it will be a while before it's summertime ......then i will use my "summer" pillows on the sofa and this blanket goes with those colours.

Well that's it for now, i will do some more knitting :))

Till next time.

Janneke.
