Last time for everthing....
Rules:Answer at least three of the questions.Post them and the rules on your blog, and please link back to me here.Comment here telling me and the rest of our little party where you're at and link to yourself.That's all! Oh yeah, don't forget to tag others!
What's the last book you read that you thought was really super, inspiring, you'd recommend it to most anyone?
*A gathering of lace.... truely.
What food totally grosses you out, you'd never be able to touch it? Ew. Gag. *hurl*
*Anything seafood.
Did you ever watch a scary movie that frightened you so much you were afraid of the dark afterward? I mean like you're lying in bed trying to sleep, but you have to pee, but you're scared to get up. It doesn't have to be recently; could be when you were a kid. So what movie was it?
*Poltergeist.
Is there a song that makes you dance every time you hear it? Would you tap you feet and sing along to it in public?
*I cry (not dance) if I hear: You make me feel like a natural woman (preferbly sung by Murphy Brown as she's singing it for her newborn son). Otherwise Madonna will do just fine.
Tattoos: yes or no? Do you have any? Tell us! Do you think they're gross? TELL US!
*I've got one, my hubbie 3. Not nearly enough.
When's the last time you laughed so hard your ribs ached and/or you nearly peed yourself? What made you do it?
*Had fun with my eldest son. Slappe Lach.
Draw or doodle a picture of your pet(s) and post it if possible. Nothing fancy, don't be shy!
*I hate my cat. Think Garfield meets Chuckie.
Go through a stack or box of your old music. Stuff that you may not have heard in years. Pick one and tell us about it. Is it as good (or as bad) as you remember?
*It's everything I remember. The Cure, Smiths, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Grease... Those days......
Do you still sleep with a stuffed animal? We won't laugh!
*My husband is a cudly toy... mmmmm
That's it.
Now. Who to tag.
Petra, I owe her one bigtime.
Jolanda, 'whoneverwinsanything'.
and
Jacqueline.
That's it!

Many thanks
Er zijn al zo'n 15.000 bezoekers / pagehits genoteerd. En dat is nog maar van een jaar of zo.
Yvon: omdat je zo'n inspiratiebron bent.
Tijm: omdat je mij de Mystery Stole liet zien (met garen van Storm) en toen was ik 'om' voor kantbreien.
Angelique: mijn breivriendin en net als Yvon huisleverancier voor mijn eeuwige honger naar kantgaren.
Tijm: for showing me the Mystery Stole so my heart only belonged to Laceknitting from then on... (yarn by Storm)
Angelique: my girlfriend for knitting and for supplying me, like Yvon, with goodies to ease my yarnhungerformore....
Often I find I see things and I think: I wanna be making thát...

Happy day!
Het is een mooie blije dag vandaag: onze oudste zoon CHRIS is vandaag 13 geworden! Ongelooflijk. Meeste mensen weten vaak wel dat we sowieso 2 kinderen hebben ( Sean en Bridget) en schrikken soms dat we ook nog zo'n grote rakker hebben rondlopen. Hij wil vaak niet mee op uitjes of gewone dingen. stel je voor zeg, als puber op stap met je mama (die ook nog breit!!!).
Dit is 'm dus, in al zijn grootheid. Natuurlijk wilde hij wat blingbling voor zijn verjaardag. (sst: om de aandacht af te leiden van zijn beugel, hahahaha).
In ieder geval: Chris, een fijne verjaardag en een lang gelukkig leven. We houden van je.
It's a happy day!
Our eldest son Chris, has his birthday today: 13!!!!!
Unbelieveable to have such a big son. Time flies....
Well, most people know we have 2 kids, Chris often doesn't like to come along on outings and things. And he most certainly doesn't like to do things with his knitting-mother.... imagne thát.
Anyway, here he is. In all his glory. Of course he wanted some bling for his birthday. So everyone won't notice his braces. hahahahaaha.
Congratulations, my son, I hope you have a happy life, we love ya!

Slaughtered...
Nu weer terug naar de dagelijkse taken. Het babybroekje is bijna af, nog anderhalve mouw en het kraagje en dan kan het babypakje met de post naar een blije eigenaar, die het vervolgens weer aan een trotse mama kan geven. Iedereen weer blij...
I'm dead. Sockwars 3 is over for me. Last year went much better, but with expressmail from CANADA I hadn't a chance. The socks are very pretty! Thank you Freda! I will wear them proud! Pictures top and below. They are a day late though, I just send MY socks (middle) in the mail yesterday. So my victim will die a soft and beautifull Fassett death, sometime next week.
Now, back to the daily routine. The babyset (drops) is almost finished. One and a half sleeve, one leg of the trousers, and a collar. Then I can send it in the mail to my the owner, who can then give it to a proud mommy. everybody happy...

Oops, I did it again...
I did it again; didn't swatch and it was too big.
Dit wordt het bijpassende vestje.
This will be the matching cardi. That was allright.
Pattern: B13-18 Drops Garnstudio (free)
Yarn: Safran Drops White 17
Needles: 2,5 mm En omdat ik het niet kon weerstaan: nieuwe MALABRIGO LACE! Yummie.
Azul Profundo en wel 2 strengen. Nu bedenken wat ik dáár weer van ga maken. Zoveel moois....
Couldn't resist the new MALABRIGO LACE in Azul Profundo. Thinking about what to make with this...
EDIT:
Ik heb nog een extra streng Malabrigo Azul gekocht, en ik ga meedoen in Juni met de Goddess Knits KAL. Het is een ronde sjaal in kantpatroon. Begint op 14 juni, inschrijving tot eind mei.
I bought another skein of Malabrigo Azul, to use in the Goddess Knits KAL, starting 14th of June. It's a circular lace shawl, sign ups till the end of May.
