I love yarn sales! You end up with yarn you have no clue what to do with. The challange is given and must be faced. This time the wicked sale had tempeted me to buy three, yes three, 25 g skeins of different coloured Debbie Bliss Pure Cashmere. These tinsy tiny skeins are good for [...]
A few weeks ago I posted some Sad News. My friend and colleague Charlotte had lost her baby girl Mira. Now Charlotte has bravely told everyone at work what happend and she gave premission to publish it on my blog. Why? Because it might save another baby’s life. So please take a few moments to [...]
As you might have noticed Happy Living has a new look. I decided to make a header for my blog. It’s been inspired by my new Cashmere hat. More on that project soon! I hope you like it.

I’ve had such a good December, also knitting wise. From mom and dad I got One Skein (finaly) and it’s great. At the moment of writing I’ve got the Petal Bib from the book on [...]
I always seem to be knitting these. I’ve made seven now and I must say I never get enough. They are sooooo easy and so cute. The smallest size (for newborn) takes half a skein of Rowan Cashsoft DK (baby) so I can make two little ones. It’s done in no time and I knit [...]
During the Christmas holiday’s I was a little bored and so I took the most cheerful yarn I could find and started knitting. I always wanted to make fingerless gloves, but never completed a set (or even got halfway). So I decided to give it another go. The result is fabulous if I say so [...]

I’ve started my ‘healthy living’ plan on January 4th. The plan is to be healthy when I turn 30 in September. I tried starting in December, but that was an insane idea (see old blog post: Healthy Living, update 1). So a new fresh start when everyone is in ‘diet mode’ anyway. [...]
If you haven’t heard about The Secret they you’ve either been living in a cave or been in outer space. It was all the buzz in 2007. However if you don’t KNOW what The Secret is, then I can’t blame you. It’s all a bit vague and unless you actually see the DVD or read [...]
Time for showing off those Christmas presents that I made last year (so strange to say that!). Ofcourse some of my friends read my blog and therefor I didn’t want to post about my projects before (as they could have guessed what was for whom). First in this series of posts is Mr. Eend (Mr. [...]
Does it really work?
A while back I purchased Boots’ No.7 Protect and Perfect serum for the first time. And as I promised (see old P&P blog post) here is the review. The tiny tube is almost finished and I’m very unsure what to make of it. Let me explain…
I don’t see any difference whatsoever. None [...]
