Everyone has come home. While we still have a week of school vacation left and I’ll be slogging my way through the washing mountain for some time to come, it’s good to be home.

Don’t get me wrong. I love to travel and see new things and have new experiences. Deep down though, I guess I’m a homebody. It’s so nice to sleep in my own bed again, have all my things around me, and just feel settled. I love being at home. I love the cosiness. I love the fact that I can just let out a big sigh and be me….and if I want to I can just shut the door, listen to the radio and sew or knit or read or whatever. I love having my own space.

We won’t go into the fact that I’ll be doing laundry till the cows come home and that there’s a whole lot of chaos that has to be tackled sometime. The garden turned into a jungle while I was away, but, guess what? It’s raining too hard today to be able to do anything about it! Now isn’t that a shame!

Before the children were up this morning I managed to finish the toe of the second Giotto sock. Here are the socks in all their glory. Lovely pattern  (by Anna Bell), but a tad fiddly. They turned out really pretty though. I love the lime green!

Can you believe I have only half of one Appunto sock to go and then I will have finished all my knitting UFOs! I wish the same could be said for the quilting pile!

Have a good start to the week!
