It's almost fall

How do I need to start, it's been almost a year after I have last posted my blog and gone for Christmas, then facing so many health problem. Which not allowing me to sit longer infront of my computer than I already did for my work. Since early of this year I had an accident causing me not able to work with my right hand. That counted almost 2 months. Meaning I can't crochet and with difficulties surviving myself gone for work.

Breathing out, after my shoulder get better and finally healed. Try to build on my muscle strong, went to the gym, get myself to a routine for a jogging or any other sport. Then I am facing a slipped disc herniation problem, it is my 3rd month now after I got vonis by my MRI. Still lucky that I don't have to go for an operation, surely I don't want that. 
One exercise to another, went thru many any advices that give me much support. This is one of training that I add up together with the fysio training I've got from my physiotherapy.

Praying is another way for me to keep my spirit up after having so much unbearrable pain. I sometimes realize myself, how difficult we can put totally our hope on Him while all those trouble came by. Even so many times, He came to help and open our way. I learn everyday to accept and fully surrender. After couple of monthe, patiently training myself and down in pray, I do feel the light blinked at the end of the dark tunnel. Even though I do sometimes losing my believe and down into deep desperation, whenever the pain killing me or awake me in the mid of my sleep. I am lucky enough to have a fully supportive husband that support me with his positive thought day and night. Then I found myself the next morning fully spirit and hope. Hopefully I will soon heal my back and normal again.

Undoubtfully, my absent to my crochet for months and still not able to sit longer than 30 minutes. It's kind of sad, but I do accept it now. I know, I will be crochetting again, actively than ever.

It's a good feeling, that I enter my blog again and eager to write.
Woke up with pain, but still smilling. The weather is so supporting, it's wet outside but not that cold. Greyish and I love the smell. Wonderfull!!

One good morning I freshly awake, open my computer and start to look into my blog, which I am not doing it for such a time since I am not able to sit normal anymore.
Indeed it's my first day ever this year posting down to my blog. Try to put all together again, redesigning my heading picture which still have a winter design.Seems like I am visitting my old house, taken out all the dust from the walls. Sweeping out those web houses, opening old curtains and surprised myself how wonderfull to feel the sun shine thorougout the curtain warmed the house.

Get myself busy with a thought of our Wed anniversary, then Halloween, and Christmas.
Oh, what a beautifull feeling that I've missed!

Merino Loafers Booties

I need to start with another new color using a warm yarn, for the coming winter collection. I made this using one of my favourite merino wool yarn from malabrigo. These thread are so lovable!
This merino yarn made taken from another kind of ships that live in Uruguay, they are so wonderfull soft, I can't bear not to put it on my cheek everytime I hold this before starting with my hook. I've ordered it from a yarn shop in Barcelona 'Allyouknitislove'where you can find their contact in one of my blog post too. 
I really love this merino, it always turned my booties into a very chewable booties, so soft and comfortable.
There are not so much more left on my stock, so I can't make them too big. I would love to make them with a lovely hat, don't think it's good enough.

Here they are !

Lavender pure cotton Loafers booties

Graphit pure cotton Loafers booties


Which one are your favourite ?
Wish you all a lovely weekend!

Chateau de Savilly France Bourgogne



The month turned to October, it was half of the month passed. 
Less than 2 months the Sinterklaas (St Nicolaas with those gifts) came, then Christmas, oh wow then 2012 will soon be over.
How time flies so extremely fast!

It's almost our anniversary...!

Wake up this morning, my thought flies to the ceremony at the city hall (gemeente hier), the wedding, the time we nodded each other to the man behind the city hall's desk, went we bike home changing our clothes then get ready for the 

party boat...

Whilst, my other memory jump to another part and it made me smiled gratefully - the castle where we have spent our fairytale wedding trip. 
Re-opened the album (still on my computer) I haven't had any chance to clip it and make a scrap album.
An unforgettable trip to Paris, then a little drive to an old village, Autun (Bourgogne) another 15 minutes drive away to a fairytale castle, Chateau de Savilly.
On the way to the Chateau
We spent a few days in this dreamy castle, not like alike a hotel that we mostly entered, it's decorated with one of a kinds furniture. It brought you to a timetunnel ages ago.
We woke up the first morning, opened the window and the wonderland laid infront of us. 
Fantastic breakfast waited for us, served by a dutch owner, who gave more than friendly but still gave a feeling of being served as a prince and princess.
A dining table surrounded with varies colors made of velvet dwarfs chairs. 

Ohh.. this is amazing! am speechless ... I feel like Alice in the wonderland. 
The fire place looks ages stood there stil, the quiet and stunning valley, faraway I hear the hiccups of the horse.
Enjoying the excellent path to walk across and find the nearest small forest. 
Shabby vintage dining room 

It's almost not easy to leave and drive back to the real life, but yaa..ahh no other....
Heading back to Paris, passing the old city Autun, another vintage moment to keep in my heart - in my deep memory.




The beauty in front of the window

Lovely lady in the garden
Dining table with colorfull varies '7 dwarfs' velvet seats
The looks alike old fireplace
The hiccups horse
