Home again - fit for fight

I'll try to make it a long story short :)

 

First I got sick. Was laying in bed with an unfriendly virus for almost a week. Fortunately I was able to get up a day before we left for a little holiday on a small danish island - Samsø.

I love these islands. Boarding a small ferry makes my shoulders relax. No worry - no hurry - just enjoy life.

Our car broke down, when we arrived, but that couldn't take my smile away. Nice people helped us to fix it, and we were on the road again.

This was our home for a week, just a few steps from the sea.

We had an unexpected guest, and when he started to eat the house, we killed him.

A short walk around a charming village pond ...

... and a long walk in the hills up north.

I made progress on the Hillswick Lumber ...

... read a couple of good books, and worked on my color wheel.

Okay, I finished it - pretty hot I think :)

I bought some nice, handmade buttons - but I didn't buy the yarn. It was an exchange (don't know if it's the right word) for the design of the color wheel.

We visited a 'plant-dyeing-yarn-spinning' woman, and she couldn't live without a color wheel in her collection - so we made a deal. 

 

Here is some of the yarn she has made - very special I think.

 

End of a short story - have a nice week-end :)

Except for the illness, car breakdown though it had a happy ending and uninvited guest, that was a great story.

I love the buttons and the colour wheel and Hillswick are gorgeous!

Thanks so much for sharing these lovely photos - it was like going on that trip with you in person, absolutely fantastic! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been sick before you left, hope everything is perfectly well with you again! And that color wheel is totally amazing, I'm very impressed by it!
