Well hello everyone from freezing Athens … I really would love some snow, but no such luck so far … I had a day off work today, and it’s been relaxing … have been thinking about creating, but organising a few things first … don’t know if I’ll get past the organising!!! 🙂

Catching up with the words of the day … yesterday’s word was ….

motionless

Here is my picture:

Now in our house there are many things that can be photographed … but I love the idea of the kitchen grandfather-type clock … Time standing still … LOL  This is my mom’s favourite clock, and even though it doesn’t tell time [something about the wall not being level and it throw’s it’s winding mechanism off] it still has an honoured place!!!

More crocheting ….

No denying when I start something, I usually become obsessed with it until I feel that I have mastered it well … over the weekend I’ve been crocheting in the little free time that I have … the good thing about this is that I can take it with me into any room, and even upstairs to visit my aunt … I’ve mastered another two motifs: no. 41 & 46 … I usually make a wollen one first usually a thicker yarn then work with a smaller cord …

Here are some more photos!

Motifs 40 & 41 made using 2 different hook sizes to get different sizes

Motif 46 - using yarn with larger hook.Same motif using white cord with smaller hook!

Same motif using white cord with smaller hook!

Now I’m looking online to find a pattern to make leaves … then I’ll be ready to include them in my layouts, cards! 🙂

My, I think this has been the fastest that I’ve come up with a photo so far … today’s word from the blog is …

glowing

and here is my photo!

This strange little gadget sits on my computer desk, and it’s a USB hub that glows all the colours under the rainbow … it’s actually quite soothing to watch … and I find myself following the glowing changes once too often, actually I think that’s how I fall asleep each night! LOL
