The third granny quilt was signed, sealed and delivered. Time to put my It Takes Two red and white in the wall and start with the borders. So I thought…
Quilting DD had another suggestion: middle grandgirl is apparently very fond of a Netflix cartoon called Avatar. Not the blue characters, but another series. Quilting DD found some amigurumi patterns online and could I, would I, but only if I feel like it!
So C and I went off on a field trip to a nearby huge wool shop to gather the crochet hook I needed (2.75) and some yarn colours I didn’t have.
The amigurumi s are very tiny. This is a leg e.g.
But we’ll get there!
One down, 4 to go!
Meanwhile I celebrated my 67th birthday with an annual visit to a museum. Van Gogh this time. It has been 3 years since I was there and enjoyed it very much.
Another visit to Amsterdam is planned for March 13th. I managed to get a ticket for the big Vermeer exhibition in the Rijksmuseum. Looking forward to that one!What annoyed me, were the “ influencers” flocking the streets of Amsterdam. One couple even tried to block a narrow alley because “ they were doing a reel for insta” and if everyone could wait for “ let ‘s say 10 minutes” Uhhh: no
Stopping in the middle of the road, bike lanes, etc to make pics, walking around while holding selfie camera/phone and only looking at yourself constantly… that sort of thing 😩
67 is a perfect age to finally turn into a CrankyOldWoman 😠LOL
