Crafty Sheep

Hello! Did you have a nice weekend?

We most certainly did – I *finally* found my acorn caps! At long last! We’d already been on at least three outings, but not a fresh, newly fallen acorn in sight! Even after the first October storm… nothing! I was about to think I was going mad… Or maybe all the acorns ran away when they spotted me… Yes, definitely mad. But! This morning, near my parents in law’s house, I finally scored big. Lovely fresh big acorns caps… loads and loads of them! I think between the three of us (Pieter, Olivier and me – Nynke watched somewhat bemusedly from her stroller) we got enough to last me at least a year. Hurray!

And I received the sweetest picture today. See? It’s my Lina! She’s staying over at Stefanie’s, all the way in Osnabrück, where she’s getting a whole new wardrobe. Seeing how comfortable she is in her little bed, I don’t think she’ll ever want to come home though! My little Lina, ahhh… It’s wonderful to know she’s being taken good care of!

Doll update: I’m just over halfway with my knitted ballerina skirt for Rosalina. I’m quite certain it’s going to be lovely eventually, but my goodness… it’s taking such a long time! Please remind me to knit a shorter skirt next time.

P.S. I know you probably won’t believe me, but Lina’s tutorial is almost finished! Yes, really!! Just need to add some last pictures and then it’s finally done!
