I finally got the change to go to a fleamarket and oh boy, did I have some fun. I even managed to keep myself calm and be rather selective with the things I purchased. I came home with only two pieces of 60's fabrics instead of the normal stack of fabric.

So far, my winter holiday has consisted mainly of wiping the runny noses of my daughters, cleaning the house and knitting. I might report the knitting part of it later this week, after my husband has arrived from his business trip to States.

A Day at Home

My toddler caught the flu on Friday and was still today recovering at home. Yesterday my husband worked from home office and took care of the little one, today it was my turn. Luckily she was feeling a lot better today.

I enjoyed as much as I could our day at home; the late wake-up, time to do some postponed chores, seeing the sun and my kid play around the house and reading blogs. Even the postman had something nice to offer; I received the seeds i ordered weeks ago. I didn't bring myself to crafting, but I shopped some yarn for spring and summertime knits. Perhaps I'll get them before the next week's winter vacation. If so, I might even find time to start the projects I'm planning.

A House of colour

Today I made in our flat a little tour in search for orange and green colours and I was amazed with the results. There are definitely more of those colours around here than I had realized. I guess, I will have to give up and state that we are a family for colours. I keep on admiring all those beautiful, serene houses with all things white and pastel in magazines and blogs, but I think that is never really going to happen in here. Do you find these colours in your home?
