Surprising oneself

Yesterday I told that I was trying to knit socks. Something I have wanted to learn, but have always then thought that no, maybe later, or maybe I should take a class.. People have always scared me and said that especially the "heel" is difficult. 

Well so yesterday when I had been preparing myself for failure, or whatever it would turn out to be, I decided that I will never know unless I try. So I tried. Today it already looks like a sock. I have impressed myself. And it feels good. 

Yes I know, it's maybe a bit of a nerdy subject to surprise oneself with. But at least my feet are gonna be warm!

Friday - and life feels better!

So, it has been quiet lately here around the blog. The blame for that I put mostly on being sick.. Both me and my Love have been sick, he more than me, but still. So that has kept us occupied the past few weeks, with running back and forth to the doctor and hospital and coughing and trying to remember when to take which colored pill ;). Now it's feeling a bit better though, so hopefully this pneumonia-shenanigan is behind us now.

Here's a bit what's been going on in our humble home during these weeks:

Some candles to keep up the spirits..

Puzzling...

I am trying to learn how to knit socks..let's see what happens...

And a lot of this; sleeping, reading, watching tv and some more sleeping... 

And tonight we are celebrating feeling a bit better with burgers and American Idol :)

Have a good weekend!
