Still...

sick...baaad cold and coughing...

But wanted to show you my latest addition to the girls' gang:


She is SO gorgeous!
And still unpacked.

Promised my boyfriend to leave her in the box 'though my fingers are SO itchy to open her up and get my hands on her...*lesigh*

P.S. Can you see me hiding? Bad hair day...

We've got eyes!

Today I picked up the eye chips from brainworm! So now Linnéa will get her new eyes *yay*

And I reworked the lips...so now I am just waiting for the new hair to arrive and we will have a complete made-over doll (*ahem* well, it will take some work...lots of it...to reroot...but eventually!*hooray*)

I want...

Hermione's fair isle sweater!

Some knitting...

Still got my bad cold but got some nice knitting done today:


It does start to look like something I might be proud of.
I just pray and hope it will fit or else I wil have to start screaming and banging my head since I AM very proud of my stranded knitting so far!

Boyfriend actually ruining...

all plans of yarn resistance!!!

Sometimes men puzzle me exceedingly.

Especially the one I am living with.

Just yesterday he posed a major threat to my yarn and myself.

Threatening to kick us both out. To burn the lot. To take hold of my account and neverever letting me buy things online ever and ever.

Today, he found me browsing patterns on ravelry. Hummed and hawed. Then the words that shook my world:

"Ah, now with our new bed coming on Monday, wouldn't it be nice to have some thingamabobs (a.k.a. afghans) to nicely drape and show off?"

I. Swear. To. God.

These were his words.
These were his words!!!

OMG, my boyfriend, who hates drapey things and such, who always rolls his eyes and yes, sometimes resorts to screaming fits when he sees my knitting and an't stand me knitting and reading/listening to him/watching tv (he says it makes him uncomfortable) actually related to thingamabobs as being nice and cosy and that he always thought them to be a nice addition to a home...phew!

Like, two...like one for him and one for me...like, matching...

Am Speechless.

I am ill...

and I am sick of yellow (my skin is a natural olive...well, my boyfriend who btw is pink, calls it yellow).

This much said, I have to tell you that I sometimes am prone to buying yarn/clothes whatever in colors that definitely do not suit me. And mustard-yellow on yellow skin is, well, not good.

So my plans of a mustard paralello are probably done with.

Not the pattern, that is, but the colorway.

But since I just spent a lot of money on yarn (yummy yarn, that is), I will not start discussing further purchases in the near future (this month, I think).

Upcoming projects:

1. All things Blythe (waiting for more supplies)

2. Gray dress (did I tell you, I am sometimes prone to chosing designs which are unflattering to my slightly pear-shaped body???)

3. Eunny's argyle vest which I pested her so much about (the woll arrived...one of the purchases which make further purchases a no-no...in the near future, that is)

4. Dark blue jacket (more purchased yarn...yeah, db had a major fit about all that yarn arriving at a constant stream and it took me a lot of cookies to make him feel comfortable among all the bags and boxes)

5. Ah...don't remember...university? Studies? Whuzzat?
