Think you don't have enough space for a home office?




With a little time and a few low-cost finds, we transformed a cluttered two-by-six-foot closet into this functional workspace blooming with inspiration. (via How to Turn a Closet into an Office - Closet Makeover - Country Living)

Shopping time

Just came back from my favorite hardware store with bags full of Very Interesting Things and head full of new ideas. You have no idea how trips like that boost my creativity!

Definitely I will have to buy some nice needle/crochet hook organizer, because they are EVERYWHERE! Just found some sweet organizers on Etsy. These are my favorite so far:

Spinning adventures

Last week I found some time to play a bit more with spinning.

First,I handspun the rest of Merino wool. Beautiful black, grey and white tops made a lovely yarn.

Two different Merino hand spun yarn


Then I decided to play a bit with dye and hand-painted the white yarn with 2 colors: olive green and sunny yellow. The result is beautiful! I will keep the yarn for myself.

I also hand-spun some Shetland wool and looking for a nice pattern to use it for. Maybe a hat or laptop case?

Crocheted mobius

It's an interesting small project - crocheted in round with 2 beautiful coloured acrylic yarns - deep red and warm yellow. I love the colours combination of this piece.






A beautiful green neckwarmer

Finally finished! A lovely lemon-grass green cowl/neckwarmer with a reversible cable pattern. It was a really nice experience to work on this item, the 100% wool is sooo nice and soft + that kind of green is my most favourite colour ever. I finished it with a lovely crocheted buttons' loops and dark wooden buttons.

Here are the images:

Spin baby, spin!

Finally I decided to play a bit with spinning. It's such a great fun! I have been spinning last 2 days almost non-stop and still want to do more. I bought a beautiful Merino tops - white, grey, brown and black and Shetland wool tops, grey. I LOVE the structure and the smell of it. I want to have my own sheep and a couple of Angora rabbits! I hope I will find some time for knitting/crocheting :)
