Really true thoughts by staubkoernchen concerning the christmas time!

Animal Crossing Wii

The other side is that my knitting projects, which have to get finished before Christmas, are now waiting to get back my attention.
Fortunately I am only making two pairs of Gauntlets which are knitted very easy and fast.
But there is something else on which I'm afraid I will not be finished with before Christmas!!! Round about a year ago I started to mount all Home-Videos (which have been about 40 cassettes!!!) on my MacBook and I made it my business to arrange them in an chronological order, edit and trim them and then burn them on DVDs so that I can donate them to my sister and brother. But it is very time-consuming to convert all videos in the DVD-format: this takes approx. 6 hours! - But I have to kick myself in the a** to finally finish all this!!! Mainly also because of the huuuuge disk space all this videos are jamming!
Grace Lace
Monday, December 1, 2008
Here I am back with a new finished little knit project, the Grace Lace Beret by Elisabeth.
I haven't been very busy these times but now in the Advent Season I am always getting very assiduous in creating, baking, cooking.... so knitting updates will follow and perhaps some other things...

Got a new TrackBall Mouse at work today! Me thinks it will prevent further typist's cramps
Fluuuuuu
Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Because of a flu I stayed at home today and between sleeping and sneezing I finished the Jaywalkers for my mom.
Now I'm absolutely knit-less... I hate the search for a new project or more precise: deciding which project I will start next! Perhaps a Beret... we will see....

A few days ago I started with Jaywalker Socks for my mum!
The Pattern is easy but with a nice effect and the "Hunderwasser" sock-yarn does one more thing.
But PHEW!!! This is my first time I tried the V-Heel (or "Heart-Heel" in german) and I detected that this method of knitting a heel is much more time consuming than a short row heel - and heaven knows, I am not a slowly knitter!!!
But anyways I like this alternative and my mum likes it best, when the heel is bulkier which
I implemented by *k, sl1*-knitting.
Bird and Vine Mitts
Thursday, October 30, 2008
Finished my "Bird and Vine Mitts".
Pattern: Endpaper Mitts by Eunny Jang
Bird and Vine Chart by EvaKatharina
First Mitten knitted up sluggish, at the second one I got the hang of it and finished
it in around 24 hours.
Panda
Sunday, October 26, 2008
Yesterday we went to a Zoo near to Frankfurt. We had great weather and here is a Picture I have to show you! Isn't he cute??!! He (or she) is a red Panda or Firefox.
"The red Panda is endemic to the Himalayas in Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos Nepal and Burma. Red Panda is the state animal in the Indian state of Sikkim. It is also the mascot of the Darjeeling international Festivals. There is an estimated population of fewer than 2.500 mature individuals. Their population continues to decline due to habitat fragmentation." Wikipedia
My Life-Soundtrack

Today I became send something cool I think, and here are my results:
If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be?
This is how it works:
1. Open your Music Library and put it on shuffle
2. Press Play
3. for every section type the song that's playing
4. press next button for next section

Some of you do remember the 80's Series He-Man, do you??
Well, we girls had She-Ra instead!
I was a huuuuuge fan of She-Ra and so I didn't get around to order this shirt:
I love it really! Fabric is so soft and the Print is fantastic!
Books...
Monday, October 6, 2008
...when I was a schoolgirl and even when I was already working and still lived at my parents, I loved it to poke my nose into Books whenever I could. Now, after about 3 years of living in my own Appartment, reading became a hobby that takes a lot more time than it took in the past. Often I start with a book and don't even finish it because after a couple of month of non-reading, it is hard to find back to the story.
But in the last three weeks I made it and finished the Book of Cecilia Ahern "There's no place like here" (german: "Vermiss mein nicht"). So I am totally back into reading and today I got me another Book: "First truth" by Dawn Cook (german: "Die erste Wahrheit"). I will see how much time this story will take and after that there are waiting three more Books of this Fantasy Series!
