Long time no see

Time really does fly, doesn’t it? I could swear the Earth is spinning faster every day, well at least in my patch of it. This blog has been really very quiet for some time now, but life has been everything but.

Quite a lot of housework has been done lately of the building/ home improvement kind by my husband (that's why it is taking so much time) in the attic to turn it into new bedrooms for  all of us. Hopefully we will be able to move in upstairs by the time I go back to work next spring :)

The most important (even life changing) thing that hapened was the fact that our Big Daughter celebrated her 7th birthday and started school! Boo hoo, I was sad despite her excitement. Once again, time flies, doesn’t it?

And as for crafting, the following conversation between Big Daughter and me will tell you everything about it:
BD: Mum, you don't have a hobby anymore, do you?
I: Why would you think such a thing?
BD: Well, you don't knit anymore and you've given your jewlery making kit to aunt Ana.

It's all true. And I have to do something about it ASAP! However there was just a smidge of crafty time as well. Well, mostly back in September. Some chunky wool autumn kind of crochet during homework writing supervision time.

And a little bit of patchworky hexagon play.

Right. Now I've got to dash and try to have some housework done (nothing crafty about that, right?) while Baby Sister is asleep.
