SHABATT SHALOM - SHAVUA TOV!

HAPPY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!

KNITTED AND FELTED

Lovely and simple little messenger bag, very easy to create. This is very sturdy, it has no lining and no pockets. Totally unsophisticated! :-)

ONE OF THE MANY FACETS OF LIFE

There are people and circumstances who grip your throat, who rip away the floor from beneath your feet, who punch a black hole in your belly, who swipe the smile off your face, who make your heart flutter and your hands shake, who cause the sky to turn black and your food to taste bitter, who turn your world upside down and install into your soul fear and uncertainty, who throw you off balance, who make you feel sad and lonely, guilty, helpless, unworthy and sick, who push you in a corner, who freeze your spirit, disturb your breathing and rise your blood pressure and heartbeat.

Please you disturbing people and threatening circumstances - stay away from me, because if you don't, I will fight you mightily!

THE RED ONE

Crocheted and felted

WAITING FOR WINTER :-)

I am crocheting with the air condition running and my legs up. I try to escape the scorching heat outside as much as possible. I still have a lot of that bargain wool left, enough for another two or three bags. I imagine cool winter days. And just now I refuse to remember that in winter I complain about the cold, even so it never gets really cold here, no minus degrees ever, except on Mount Hermon and the surrounding area of course. But for five more months it will be hot during the day, very hot, the sun providing fiercely, and the nights keep the heat and hold on to it stubbornly! But the early mornings are lovely. I get up with the first twittering of the birds and sit outside with a cup of coffee in my hands and enjoy the fresh air of dawn with deep breaths...

This felted, striped and quite big bag will be snugly and comforting in cold and rainy days. Imagine it on the shoulder of a beautiful coat in a snowy street! It has everything that is needed. A build in front pocket, another one on the back for glasses or cell phone. It is lined with a lion cotton print and has one inside pocket and a key swivel. The lovely handles with the wooden beads, and the nice buttons enhance it and declare it GORGEOUS! Don't you think? :-)

Tomorrow I show you the red one!

I am yearning for my sewing machine, but it still is hard for me to sit in front of it for a longer period of time. I am going to the physiotherapist once a week, and I am doing my back exercises at home. Some days are good and some are less enjoyable, but slowly I am getting better and I haul my spirit back too! In Arabic they say: Yom Asal, yom Basal - one day honey, one day onion! :-)
