Making progress...

Just a little collage to show you that I'm making the scarf longer - slowly but nice and quiet I add more circles.

I quickly decided to add some other yarns as well. Somehow I needed a bit more of the vivid colours.

So in my stash I found some of the yarn I have bought from Garnudsalg.dk - so far I have used Blodappelsin, Blå Polkagris, Polkagris, Retro Blå and Retro Bordeaux (and some other bits and pieces from my stash). I absolutely adore the Polkagris yarn! And the name...it makes me think of lovely days in Sweden eating Polkagris candy.

To remember Piccadilly Circus by

Yesterday I saw an amazing program about the super talented artist Stephen Wiltshire. His story is so heartwarming and full of hope, and I couldn't stop thinking about him for the rest of the day.

His art work is extremely fantastic and he has a partiality to drawing buildings in metropolises around the world - and old American cars.

I decided to buy a print made of him and chose a beautiful drawing of Picadilly Circus in London. It shows the exact spot which my friend Kirstine and I went to every Sunday, when we were off work while living in England.



A fine way to remember a part of life during my youth - and hopefully my modest buy can be a tiny help for Stephen, so he can visit new cities and create new and fantastic drawings.

No words needed...




...the beauty of the paper from Minimega speaks for itself. Underneath you can see the paper on a beautiful photo from the shop, since my photo was taken at night time, and I don't think that it does justice to the actual colours of the paper.

How can I ever have the heart to use such pretty paper?
