Back in action

Hi all,

You probably have wondered: were the hell is Lisette. Lost have happend with the result that on the end of the day I wasn't always into writing at the blog.

First off all: I am doing fine, nothing wrong with my health. But I had some stuff going on at work that had a bigger impact at me then expected. It took a while to get my spirit back and to go with a smile to my work instead of bad feeling. Now everything is more relaxed and I enjoy going to work again (still the same boss :).

Next to that I was in the organization of a really big event of more then 550 people and you can figure out that it took a lot of time to organize everything. Last weekend the event took place and the participants really enjoyed their weekend in Amsterdam. I was responsible for all the logistics and accomodation. Lot of work, learned a lot and had a great time.

Due to this all, I didn't took any vacation and needed my weekends more then ever to have a break. And I know when I got behind my computer I would get stuck to it. So I tryed to get out off the house and enjoyed the few days of sunshine we had in NL. I have the feeling we didn't have had a summer at all this year.

In the mean time I did lot of crocheting and not much crossstitching. I don't know why but at the moment I am more into the crocheting. Made some great stuff toys, hope to be able to sell them sometime at a fair.

I hope that you guys are all right and hope to do more updates in the future.

Regards

Lisette

Still alive

Dear all,

yes i am still alive, but I haven't update my blog recently. Why? Many reasons, but the main reason is being lazy. I think the fact that it has been such beautifull weather the last couple of months in NL, that I enjoyed that more that sitting behind my computer.

The last couple of months I have mainly crochet instead of crossstitching. I don't know why but it just happend. I still need to make have to make an exchange for the HOE snowman exchange. Normally I had already finished it. At the moment I am working on a granny blanket that I can use outside in the garden

At the moment I have vacation and I am now enjoying my new loveseat and hooker in my garden, while in the mean time looking at Hyacinth (female bunny) eating like she haven't had food in months.

Speak to you soon.

And Melvin the snale....

Aren't they cute... So this has been my live the last month.

See you soon!

Meet my latest creation

Hi,

Sometimes I like to do something different. Just a different way of making beautifull creations. When I was young my grandmother tryed to learn me how to crochet. I can tell you that wasn't a succes. And honestly I am not the person for the table cloth type off crocheting, but I love the small 3d amigurimi. On one of my many visit on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/) I found this little shop called deliciouscrochet (http://www.deliciouscrochet.com/). My room mate at work and I really loved the stuff the designer made, but it never came to downloading a pattern. A couple of weeks ago my room mate bought 3 patterns and printed them out. So on a wednesday evening I thought by myself: let start with this dragon. It took more time then I thought, but after 2 weeks of fanatic crocheting (in the train, waiting at a friend at the theater, late to bed) he is finished. I call him: Zwelgje

This weekend I will start with Melvin, the snail..

Regards

Lisette
