the views

Inside
or Outside;
the ever changing views always
have something to offer.
And i'm glad
to report that now we
have some snow.

This is what happens while you're Knitting:

And here we have:
Meringues.


Fabulous to look at.
Even better to eat.
They were made into Forest mushrooms
to decorate the Bûche de Noël.

Closing the year

"If you're really listening,
if you're awake to the poignant beauty of
the world, your heart breaks regularly.
In fact, your heart is made to
break; its purpose is to burst open again
and again so that it can hold
ever-more wonders."

Andrew Harvey, *The Return of the Mother*

questions and quotes

wow.

friday already.

How is it that time can go by so quickly?
Everyone says that time goes
by even faster when you're having
fun. But why does it have to be like that ?
Why ?

Perhaps almost everyone on the
planet has heard this quote already, or a version of it.
But to say goodbye to 2006, i think this one bears repeating.

"The unexamined life is not worth living." (Socrates)


and i leave you with this gem:

"Analyzing discourages my hand." Alberto Giacometti

Generous Proportions

In case you haven't heard,
the Yarn Harlot
is gathering donations through
her lovely website
for
Medecins Sans Frontiers/
Doctors without Borders.

On the fifteenth of December, 2006
she made a special call
for people to donate (check here for info
about knitters donating to this cause).

Please think about this
very special cause,
and please: help out.

What's new with the Heads

Have you seen them?
Surely, you must have by now.
they're known all over the world.
And i'm not exaggerating.

Have a look at the latest funny,
by "the heads"
(yes, really it's tetes a claques ... !)

Do you like potatoes?

Potatoes?
or do you call them Patates?


Ok then: either way, have a look here.

'tis the season

Merry Christmas!

Have you ever visited

Bûche de Noël complete
with lovely mushrooms.
But of course,
every log from the forest needs
to be accompanied by mushrooms.

Julie and Helen Suzanne, Marysia and Gill.
and so do i.
Today i'd better get busy & wrap some
presents. No yarn gifts from me. I haven't
even Seen-in-person the
new yarn from Opal yet.
