Since there is not so much to photograph outside at the moment I am going to show some more of the crafts I made during the years. Somebody asked what the knitting was for, well, it is going to be a scarf.
I am decluttering big time and I have to get rid of loads of stuff. I have two big baskets full of beautiful wool , from years back also so I thought I had better do something with it. Too good to throw out. The little bag I crocheted last week of very thick wool I had for ages. I found an old one I made some 40 years ago , the colors then were brown and green. Not nice. The pillow cover I started a few years ago , I just had to crochet a few more rounds of the silk yarn to finish it. I also found some granny squares here and there so I am going to make some more for an afghan or so.

Oh Rietje,wat ben jij een bezig bijtje :)
Er is bij jou 'inside' héél veel moois om te fotograferen,
ik wens jou ook een heel mooie week toe,
liefs,Sonja
Nou jij verveelt je niet dat zie ik wel. Het is weer eens iets anders dan een buiten foto.
Lieve groet

The wool is beautiful, lovely colors. I am sure there is some place that would take donations. I do think it is good to declutter and downsize. Lovely mosaic! Have a happy week, Riet!
Waar de winter al niet goed voor is! Zomers trekken we naar buiten en 's winters pakken we de haak- of breinaalden erbij :-) Succes met je plaid! Ik hoop dat je ons het resultaat laat zien.
Ik ben heel benieuwd naar je bureautje Riet. Zou je mij een foto en de afmetingen willen toesturen?
Een fijne nieuwe week!

You are a very creative lady.Each item is lovely.
Zo enorm leuk om jou prachtige creatie's hier te bekijken
lieve Rietje. Dat tasje is
toch heel schattig. Ende sjaal
die je aan het breien bent is
van een materiaal met een GROOT
aaibaarheidsfactor.
Het ziet er zo heerlijk zacht en
aangenaam uit.
Geniet van een heerlijke week,
Veel liefs,

Wat een leuk tasje Riet maar ben helemaal weg van die vrolijke kleurtjes van de sjaal die je nu onder handen hebt. Lekker zacht!
Wordt vervolgd ...
Een hele fijne week. Groetjezz lfs mij
You've been busy. I'm trying to work through my stash of yarn too. Love the tea cup!
Wow not only are you a great photographer but pretty crafty also. I have two grands going into the same college this year. Just started an afghan each for them in their college colors. Scarlet and silver. Going to do the ripple. I love the look and feel of the yarn.

I love sitting knitting on a cold winter day, beautiful projects. Gorgeous scarf, the colours are wonderful.
I love the beautiful bag that you made and that stack of quilts. I need to use my fabric and get busy sewing. It's time to see what I should get rid of, too!
It must be lovely to work with so much colour at this dull time of year. Good for you for de-cluttering and enjoying what you have!
You are just wayyy too talented! Those are lovely.
LOVe all those colours Riet.
It's wonderful to make something beautiful out of your old wool1

Looking at the treasures in your pictures and reading about if felt as if wrapped in warmth on a cold February morning!
Thank you,

Beautiful wools! I have have been cleaning out and organizing since the first of the year as well.
Nou je hebt het er maar druk mee!
Mooie werkstukjes hoor!!
Wat moeten we anders doen met dat winterse weer!
Lekker freubelen.
Veel liefs, Juliëtte
Beautiful collage you made with handwork :) Hanne Bente
Leuk al die wolwerkjes. Ik heb vroeger ook heel veel gebreid, maar opeens was het over, wolwinkels verdwenen, maar nu komt het weer terug. Moet ook nog twee zakken met wol hebben.
it is so good to declutter. I must do it too! But even better to finish projects long forgotten. I love the crochet bag you made. I recently gave bags of wool and material to our local aged-persons home for their crafts.
Have a wonderful week.
daar maak j e vast wel iemand blij mee riet,
mij al met de kelurige foto's:-)
Wonderful stuffs; you're so creative. I wish I can knit.
Sometimes it's good to be snowed in. Look at the wonderful things you've rediscovered!
I love those blues; thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday, Riet.
Your bag is so lovely. I think I must get busy too decluttering.

It's always fun to find old treasures. A lovely collage!
Wonderful pics.
You do beautiful work, Riet. It's always good to use up stuff from one's stash, isn't it? I'm trying to do the same thing - use what I have before getting more.
What a creative way to spend some cold winter days. All those colors in the purse just make me happy. In fact, last fall I almost bought a shoulder bag with these same colors--brand Le Sac, I think it was.
Beautiful...just absolutely beautiful. I love that tea cup!
Happy day!
Jackie Expression Needed :-)
Nice Collage. Good to see.
I love your mosaic, the pictures are so pretty - such a lovely cushion cover, and the teacup is beautiful - I like the effect you've done on the mosaic to give it a vintage look with the hazy edges - beautifully done.
Fantastic craft work Riet...I too posted about crocheting today.
Happy Ruby Tuesday.
Beautiful work ! I would never have the patience to knit !
Lovely! I tried knitting once, but I just don't have the patience to do it.
Wow! Those are beautiful!
