It was my
plan to have Pantoef write this blog post. You know, a la Spinster Stitcher: “My
Mum can’t come to the blog right now…” but when I suggested this to Pantoef, he
just raised his left eyebrow and continued munching the Christmas tree. Pipien
always steers clear of any electrical appliance (except for the modem which
provides much warmth), so I guess I’m on my own.
You see, I’m
ill. And its all my own fault. –ish. I gobbled up an entire ‘speculaaspop’ (a
big big big ginger cookie) that I’d forgotten I had. It was gluten free. It was
even wheat free and nut free, so, safe as houses I thought, before I took a bite
and kept taking bites until I’d polished off the entire thing. Next day (i.e.
yesterday) I woke up and found that I couldn’t open my eyes. When I did manage
to pry one eye open and look in the mirror, I noticed that my head was twice
its normal size and thrice its normal colour (DMC 3803 or thereabouts, which is
quite a lovely colour when it’s stitched on linen but quite a bit less fetching
when it’s the colour of your skin). Still feeling a bit off, so it’s another pill
for me and then back to bed. Anyway,
this is by no way an uncommon occurrence, so no need to feel (too) sorry, just
a bit of background information as to why there’s no stitchy progress today.
But if I remember correctly, I did promise to show you what I made Pelle for
Sinterklaas, and here it is:
This lovely
owl was inspired by the ones Little Woollie makes. There’s no pattern, but if
you follow her wonderful cat pattern, you should be able to make the owl.
Should you feel so inclined.
Yours off
to bedly,
Annemarie.

i love the cute owl so much..
hugs for you x
That doesn't sound like fun. Take care and rest up.
Super cute owlie!
Ouch, that sounds awful... I hope you recover soon. A whole speculaaspop, that's a feat! Pelle's owl is wonderful. Hugs, and take care.
Not good. So sorry you are sick. :( Feel better soon. Love the little owl.
The owl is my college mascot so I love that they are trendy right now. Feel better soon!
Hope you are feeling better! That owl is too cute. A tree munching cat? I have one of those also, and one that pulls of the ornaments, fortunately the third one has no interest in the tree (but loves the beard on the stuffed Santa that is on top of the fridge).
Heb je nu zo'n allergische reactie? Heftig zeg!!
Je sinterklaascadeau voor Pelle is helemaal super, wat een leuk ding.
I do like your crocheted gift, it's very unusual. Your cats are just gorgeous, I love that little dark facing looking up at the camera.
Uh oh, what food allergy was at fault, or don't you know? Feel better soon. And send future speculaasjes to us. ;)
Your owl for Pelle is HOOT! I love it!!! :D
So sorry you are under the weather--love the owl though! I am relatively new to crochet and am not up to making anything complex, but I love looking at the work of those with more talent :) Sorry your kitties are so uncooperative too. I suspect my kitty would love to blog for me--the printer is her new favorite toy with the computer a close second.
Fabulous owl! Be good to yourself and feel better.
