lousy at blogging

I've been really lousy at blogging lately....or at all actually.

I've been working, knitting, reading, and visiting our puppy instead =D

Yes, we're getting another dog, another shiba inu, his name is Honto-No Ginjiro but we'll call him Gin.

Here's a picture of him that we took when we visited yesterday. He's 5,5 weeks old and we get to bring him home on Februay 28th.

Mamma Mia!

This is one of my favourite parts of the whole movie. If you only watch the movie to see this it's worth it.
Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan and Stellan Skarsgård in brightly coloured spandexsuits, singing and dancing. You just have to love them.

Zuma bag

Yay! My Namaste Zuma handbag in Peacock is on it's way!
I just got a message telling me that! Hopefully it will get here in about a week, maybe in time for next weekend?

I can't wait to get it!

Visit down south...

We're down south (outside Gothenburgh, in Lödöse) visiting my parents this weekend since my dad turned 60 years old yesterday. We had a great party that mum made great food for! We're going home in a couple of hours, and will be home about 6 hours after that.

This morning me and R (husband) took Bea for a nice long walk, we were out for at least 75 minutes, maybe more. And it's cold here, ice one the puddles, frost on the grass. We brought the camera along and got some great pictures I think, those will come up later on when we've gotten home and emptied the camera.

I've gotten some knitting done this weekend as well, since we drove down on saturday morning it was perfect light for knitting all the way, even though I didn't knti all the way. But I finished the toepart of one sock so I could start knitting on the footpart yesterday. I also knitted about 20 cm on my scarf. And a couple of rounds on my super-green socks. Pictures will be posted later, see above.

Wev'e also had quite a lot of game-sightings this week. Earlier this week Bea made a run for some hares (? rabbit-like but not rabbits) and this friday she tried to get some ducks for lunch, she was on the leash and on got one leg dipped in the lake before giving up that tought tough.
Later the same day she and R spotted 2 hares and 2 deers during the evening walk. And when we drove down here on saturday we almost had an accident with a moose, we have good brakes though and managed to stop several meters from it when it crossed the road. I've never seen a real live moos that close before, only a hint of it in the woods beside the raod when I was a kid.
Then when me and Bea took a morning walk yesterday and I stupidly enough had her free she made a run after 4 deers, she came back after a couple of minutes though but it was enough to make me terrified and get a stress-headache :S I leashed her and we kept walking. After about 10 minutes I look into the forest beside the path I was on and see 2 mooses about 50 meters from me... I'm pretty sure it was a moose-cow(?) and her calf but I'm not sure. After that we picked up the pace and quickly headed home. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me and today they didn't show them self :/

How can you not want a puppy after looking at these cuties for a while???

Wonderful!

My Forest Canopy Shawl is finished and I have the picture to prove it =D

Finished!

Yay! I finished my Forest Canopy Shawl tonight! I'm going to block it tomorrow and take some photos of it to show you.

I've been working a lot lately and that's why I havn't updated my blog.

Clear up...

Maybe I should clear something up. It's not my dog that was put down on monday. It was a friends.

Sadly another shiba-girl we know got put down today as well after a period of illness :(

Sweet little Dowa stole my heart the first time she tried to bite my arm...she was 6 weeks old when I met her and her mouth definatley couldn't reach around my arm.

So today we honour bot Umai and Dowa and we will keep your memory in our hearts forever.

Rest in peace

Today we light a candle in honour of the magnificent Umai av Enerhaugen who sadly passed over the rainbowbridge today after a period of illness. She was a great Shiba Inu and will live on in her children and grandchildren.

Yarn!

When I got home today my yarn for the Halloween Myster Shawl was waiting for me! Hooray!
It's so beautiful!
And I should get the beads for the shawl tomorrow and maybe even the needles I need.
Right now I'm terrified of winding this wonderful yarn into a ball though.

The yarn is Zen Yarn Gardens Bellisimo Lace made of 70% Alpaca 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere in the colour Midnight Velvet. It's a skein of approx. 100 g or 1300 yards.
