I sometimes wish I could be "in the moment" more. Be more mindful, notice things better. But I just don't most of the time. My mind is like that water. Always moving.

Green and gold
I knit a scarf in two shades of green. Just simple garter stitch.
Of course I wanted a matching hat. So I knit another one of
I still have a lot of that green yarn left, so I started a shawl again. This time I am following the pattern I saw at soulemama's and I do hope this one will turn out better than the blue one.
And then I'm going to decide what to make with this beautiful yarn I just bought. I love it!

Thrifted treasures
I read the best excuse in a comment at Soulemama's: "oh, but buttons are so small and fabrics are flat, you can always buy those."
So I did.

An apron
This vintage fabric just begged to be an apron. Or at least I thought so. I kept it simple, just straight lines, but I like the result.

Passed!
They were so scared they flunked after all. I wasn't and of course they didn't. Two bags on the flag, wow!
(that's custom here when you pass your highschool exams)

A quilt
I finally finished the quilttop that has been lying around for nine months or so...
I just quilted near the ditch. I do like how that turned out.
The borders are from a thrifted cotton sheet, the back from a flanel sheet. The quilt top was made from thrifted vintage pillow cases and the filling is an old molton.
It's so cosy and warm!

Canning
My tiny garden doesn't get us surplus to save for winter. So I try to make do with veggies that are cheap now in the stores. Still gives me that feeling of self sufficiency that I'm longing for ;-)

A blue shawl
Well, it looks okay from a distance, but it's not. It's scratchy (synthetic yarn), there is a slight color difference (thrifted yarn) and it's too small.
Still, it was fun to knit and watch it grow. Let's try that again with better (and more) yarn.
