Ho-ho-ho!!!

Now you might think I'm crazy!!! But just have a look at these new christmas dolls from Maileg, and you might understand - Oh, how I love Maileg!! They will be available from this shop in September or October, and if you recieve their newsletter, you can already pre-order them today.... And what do you think about these cute winter/ christmas ornaments? I adore the skate....

Finally you have to see this too.....a sneak peak at the annual Noël figurines. You can see more in the next newsletter from Designerleg - so I'll patiently wait....

Ho-ho-ho for now!!!

Hello there, you knitted people!

After unraveling the cardigan, people are slowly appearing on my knitted cardigan. I must say that dark grey yarn is so much better than the green one.

Every round I knit makes me think of the charaters of the people. A rather funny element compared to the fact, that I have to count, count and count!! My eyes hardly ever leave the recipe in order not to knit any mistakes....

I have tried to knit the glasses in different colours, but I actually think that I might want to sew them on instead.

My knitting looks so uneven at the moment, but luckily that always tends to dissapear after a good wash and blogging.....

TO be OR TO wear A NUTCASE

When my mother had a stroke 6 years ago, I met a woman which was in the same hospital ward as my mother. That woman had had a fall with her bicycle. She hit her head and not being able to remember - or do - the most simple everyday doings, was just one of the consequeces of her fall. I don't know whether she wore a helmet, but I don't assume she did concidering the damage to her brain.

To wear a helmet when I bike, is not a thing which I can boast with! (My dear - and more courageous - sister already has one. Well done, Lotte!!)

I, however, have 100 excuses not to have one, whenever my children have asked why I don't have to wear one.....(It's too warm, it's too clumsy, it doesn't fit properly, it's not smart, it makes your hair fuzzy - you name it!)

But I must admit that lately I have actually considered to buy one - the point of wearing one is crystal clear:

And I do love my brain......

...and the helmets are not that bad looking anymore - they even come with dots, flowers and stars! The shape is rather smart as well - like a skater helmet.

Now all I have to do, is to get up my courage.....
