HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I just want to wish all my readers and followers a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope 2010 will be a good one for all of you!

Here is Susie and Maja Siobhan just before we went out singing for the neighbours yesterday... (aren't they the cutest....??)
I also wanted to share a couple of pictures of what my world looks like on the last day of this year - a sunny and crisp day (about minus 14 degrees Celsius outside):

I love the snow- isn't it just beautiful?!

Some new and some old knitting....

I've been knitting... I always have some knitting lying around for times when I need an excuse to sit down and do very little, but still look like I'm doing something, if you know what I mean. I'm not very good at blogging my knitting though. I tend to start using my knitted stuff as soon as it's finished.... like the beret on this photo.... I knitted it over a year ago, and I've used it loads... I didn't even have a picture of it... sheesh... I used a free pattern from Garnstudio for the beret, you can find it HERE.

I thought it was a good opportunity to blog my beret now with my NEW fingerless gloves. I used the same yarn on them as I used for the beret, so now I have a set.... The yarn is from my stash. It's really oooooold... it was something I got after my late grandmother, and I 've had it for years and years (gran died in 1995, so I guess I've had it since then.... and I'm sure she had it in her stash a while before that...) Lol...

The free pattern for these nice gloves is made by Ruth/Ullhedina. The gloves are a perfect fit. They're knitted on two needles back and forth, so they're really easy to knit up. I'm already planning on making some more of these. Ohhh... and look what hubby brought home.... a Nespresso machine! Wow... I'm luuuurving it! It was supposed to be a shared Christmas present from him to me and from me to him, but we couldn't wait until Christmas to start using it.... lol...
Well.... off to make myself a coffee....

What a cute mouse!

I went to a friend of mine on Tuesday to make some cards together. It's been ages since I saw her even though she lives just a ten minutes walk away.... Anyway.... It was so nice seeing her again and we were chatting away so much that I only managed to get one card finished.... not that I ever manage to make more than one card in one day. It takes me forever...
I borrowed the stamp from my friend, and forgot to find out who it's by... silly me... The mouse is coloured with watercolour pencils.
