Love at first sight

Since the first time I´ve seem this shoes I totally love them. After eying them for weeks on the Swedish Hasbeens homepage  I´ve finally decided it is time to make a first step and I´ve ordered them online. I don´t often buy soes online and now I´m totally exited. When will they come? Will they be as beautiful in natural as on the PC? Will they fit as I imagined it? I´m so looking forward wearing them.

How about you? Do you have special shoes (or stuff in general) that you loved at first sight? Anyone addicted to Swedish Hasbeens?

Some crafty stuff

Lovely Joji asked me to testknit her new scarf/shawl design. And I sure will! I´ve started with Drops Nepal from stash. My plan is to make a greyish white booble border and the body in blue Nepal (also in stash).

Inbetween I work on  the crochet blanket. Still only using yarn from stash! I think it will be a nice one once finished.

Currently my Soay cardigan and I are in a different period in our relationship. I´ve started the first sleeve and don´t really like knitting it. I think the construction is very clever and I understand what I should do, I just don´t like the "doing". Hmmm. And as noone else will knit this sleeves I´ve put it aside a bit. Maybe in some weeks I like it again.

A nice week to you.

Growing older and growing up ...

Some of you might have noticed that I´ve changed my blog layout. I just didn´t like the cute owls anymore. Somehow I don´t like my blog very much these days. It is getting boring. I´m really considering either starting to write in german or just quit posting at all. Sometimes I have, in my opinion, nice ideas about stuff I could post but than it is getting to complicatat to translate it in english or just to find the right words. So I don´t post at all.

So these days I´m wondering if anything that comes in my mind is interesting enough at all to be postworthy? I think I write better in german than in english as I don´t have to search for words this much and it is easier to describe ones feelings and thoughts in ones motherlanguage isn´t it?

What do you think?

Let´s take the challenge

Look here



As ALWAYS Pip is really inspiring and (I think you might know by now) I love her blog. My dear daughter and I take the challenge and try to stay vegetarien for the month ot June.


And while thinking a bit about the vegetarian cause and my place in it I jumped over to WIKIPEDIA and found some interesting information about Vegetarianism.


I think I´m this:

Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish or poultry, or other meats on an infrequent basis. Those with diets containing fish or poultry may define "meat" only as mammalian flesh and may identify with vegetarianism.[6][7][8] A pescetarian diet, for example, includes "fish but no meat".[9] The common use association between such diets and vegetarianism has led vegetarian groups such as the Vegetarian Society to state diets containing these ingredients are not vegetarian, due to fish and birds being animals.[10]

I like eating meal, exspecially Wiener Schnitzel, Schweinsbraten and delicious meals like these, but I also like animals and don´t think they should die because I want some special food. BUT I think it doesn´t hurt if I eat eggs, cheese, yoghurt and other products from animals. Also I can live with the thought of eating chicken or fish now and then.

So I´m trying to stop eating mammalian flesh only although this doesn´t make me a vegetarien. You can call me weak but for how I grew up this is a LARGE step beleave me.

What do you think? Are you vegetarien already or a meat eater? Are you thinking about the animal eating thing or doesn´t it interest you at all? Are you going to try to eat less meat?
