beauties ;-)

As promised I took some pictures. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did :-)

Since this is mostly a knitting blog, I'd like to start with my finished Secret of the Stole II :

Artistically draped over a blooming Weigela that someone planted before we moved in. The stole itself is awesome. Awesomly large, awesomly beautiful and according to hubby also awsomly bright. I love it! ;-)

My Mr. Greenjeans, made out of Cascade 220 in Japanese Maple. I hope I'll be able to have my picture taken in it over the next weekend. The pattern was easy to follow and I had a lot of yarn left at the end. On the other hand I didn't go down a needle size for the cabeling. It is ok as it is in my eyes :-) The only thing I hated was kntting the sleeves since the bamboo needles I got for this task felt yucky :-/

I also found the time to sew. This Tilda-Angel now lives with my parents :-)

The pattern is from Sew Pretty Homestyle by the awesome Tone Finnanger (hope I spelled that right). I used scrap fabrics so it isn't the angelic little angel in pastels, more a wild girl, but I love her :-) (mental note to myself: I need a Tilda angel too :-))

And now I'd like to invite you to a stroll through my garden. We just started to work on it (always in mind that we shouldn't do so much there since we'll move out sooner or later) but I love flowers. As it seems, especially pink ones *lol*

Here, take a look at this one, not pink but oh so beautiful. Unortunately we have so many snails that this is the last surviving one :-(

Have you met my fuchsias yet? They are pretty little ballerinas, at least they remind me of them:-)

And here are my bleeding hearts. Those were my (almost) only plants I had last year. I'm so happy that they grew back :-)
