2009 - It was a year of may changes and disillusions for us. My nephew and nieces brought great tumult into our lives, my best friend moved and we moved across town unexpectedly. I am ready for calm and comfort! I am glad that it’s over and 2010 has started. I so hope that 2010 brings us the much needed calm and quiet.
We are planning some great things for 2010: a visit to Georgia and Arizona, a trip to Italy and England, more sewing and crafting which hopefully will turn into more blogging. I would like to take up running again. But I will start with a modest goal of walking three times a week. It will be challenging to carve out this time just for me away from the family. But if I never try , I fail before I even start….
Have you ever hear from the “Chor ohne Grenzen”? I came across this commercial from the Telekom which was created Nov 09. A few hundred people coming together spontaneously (as much as can be) in the Leipzig Bahnhof singing Beethoven’s “Ode and die Freude” with Paul Pott. I love it… Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZH__HAa1I4
I have been doing lots of sewing and crafting. I just didn’t blog about it. I bought a ton of thin solid colored fleece. The local store had a special going on and I bought about 15 yards. I made already 4 hooded sweaters (2 kids and 2 adult ones). I have enough left over to make myself 2 sets of pj’s.
Now I have a ton of small pieces left over from the sweaters and no clue what to use it for. I have a book somewhere on sewing with fleece – but a lot of my books are still in boxes downstairs in the basement. I don’t feel like looking through boxes when I want to sew instead. So if I am too lazy to do that I will have to look on the internet for inspiration! I got inspired by this scarf - http://www.vanessachristenson.com/2009/12/sytc-win-scarf-tutorial.html. I can’t seem to justify paying for something that I can easily create myself. So yesterday afternoon, I made myself something similar.
I am so in love with this scarf. It was just as easy as I had thought and it only took about an hour to make J
Happy New Year from Me to You! May this year bring calm and quiet yet be also exciting and sweet!
