...has just begun! I hope you had a great time, both saying goodbye to 2018 and welcoming 2019. For me and my family it has been as it should be: cooking a nice, festive dinner and enjoying being well and being together with a glass of wine. At first, we had planned to go out …
...listening to "The Little Book of Hygge" by Meik Wiking and I confess, I got hooked. It describes the Danish way of living every moment and savouring little things in life in such an appealing way. I just love listening to audiobooks, I suspect all knitters do, and this one was just perfect for this …
...favourite things and then I don't feel so bad! 1. Yarn ( oh no, really? again? oh, but take a look at these babes, well...ok) 2. The sea 3. The moments (to be continued...) Stay tuned!!!
...as I never expected I could make it to Day #15, yet here we are! So, what shall I write about today? Well, today, I would like to write about how I started practising Tai Chi Chuan and how this helped me overcome fatigue and stress. I know, everybody says knitting is the new yoga …
... a "must", but you know better than limiting your horizons: he has written more about Christmas than the famous "Christmas Tale" and his whole work is now Public Domain, so, just find your way to gutenberg.org and read as much as your heart wishes! My "Dickens favorite" for Christmas 2018 is from the short …
...is so much like meditating! It is one of my favorite ways of relaxing from work ( aka designing, writing the pattern and knitting the prototype). It is almost mindless, you just have the liberty to follow your heart and let the inspiration lead you, you make use of beautiful yarn leftovers (oh, perhaps you …
...are in my mind these days, as I am trying to organize my schedule for 2018. After years of using various planners in order to "stick to the plan" of the week or the month ahead, I decided I am not that "organizeable" a person and I turned into a Bullet Journal to find the …
...the flu has attacked a lot of us this winter and I must say I'm almost surprised I'm one of them... I guess that's why it's been so hard on me, ha? It's already 10 days on antibiotics and inhalers and I'm feeling quite better, but, if you can take the hint, I couldn't even …
...has never been my strong point. Don't get me wrong: I love sipping a cuppa, sitting comfortably in my favorite couch with a good Netflix series going on and some relaxing, new project on my needles on a cold, winter's day. I do. But you can't call that hibernating, can you? A new project is …
...is one of the most meaningful phrases attributed to Buddha. I'm not an expert in Buddhism, but I confess I often find that such peaceful, yet powerful, statements really agree with me, they help me take things positively and keep my faith in the future. It is an optimist attitude towards life, don't you think? As I …
... a couple of books and I do so interchangeably. In fact, ever since my teenage years, I would rarely find myself devoted to one book only...now that I think of it, it's kind of like ... working on more than one knitting projects, isn't it? Well, that's how it is for me anyway. I …
It has been quite a while since my last post, but I had decided to give myself and family some quality time, enjoying doing less (well, doing nothing is not an option for a workaholic) while knitting and thinking more... Have I ever told you how much I used to enjoy reading? And by reading I …
