Lovely fair Saturday :)

I was with a good friend to a very nice fair today, Pearl Planet & Stamping Heaven :) (Finnish names Helmiplaneetta ja Leimailutaivas)
Got some nice pearls and a little ribbon and some other nice stuff :) I'll post pictures but I'm just a tad too tired right now, even though I slept for an hour and a half after coming home :D We also went to the library and I found a very good book about crochet! Lots of different stitches and such, I'm sooo inspired! (Which I already was so now I'm even more!).
I've been trying to knit a Hello Kitty hat for a little girl, first it became too small and then too big so now I'm taking a break. I'll crochet a couple handwarmers first I think :) not exactly like these below, but something new from the book :)
These handwarmers were my own adaptation of granny square crocheting :) an acquaintance comissioned them from me :)

Swimming and sewing/crafting blog

I've been swimming twice this week already and it's only Wednesday! :) On Monday I was feeling quite a bit off and tired and just wanted to go home and sleeeeeep, but a friend said her very vise words "go home and rest and then go swimming, you know you'll like it once you're there". And she was right! I slept some, although at that point I was still wishing I'd sleep past the time of the water gymnastics I have on Mondays.. but when the time came to leave my sweet bed I managed to do it :) and the gymnastics this time turned out to be not so very hard either, some Mondays I've had a bit of a trouble keeping up.. my back still isn't in the best of shapes although it is sooooo much better! :) I'm not ready to try life without the medicin I'm on though..
Today I was supposed to go to a friend and swim with her in the pool near her place but as I was still feeling kind of off yesterday I postponed our meeting. But then this morning I was feeling much more cheerfull and decided to go swimming on my own so I'd get at least that bit of fun :)

Next blog up is one I found quite a long time ago, it's a sewing and crafting blog called "ikat bag". She writes very good tutorials and they're easy to find on her blog/page too. And then she has the best ideas for crafting with and for kids! So many great ideas! And a lot of recycling too, her love for cardboard is something unique I think ;)
I can't remember how I found her blog, especially as it's quite a long time ago now.

I think that's it for today :) now I'm going to go back to readin my Agatha Christie (The Harlequin Tea Set and other stories) :D
