Recently a certain Gorgeous Man had a big birthday (starts with a 4 and ends with a 0).
We took the opportunity to head away for the weekend. We stayed in accommodation with some interesting recycled decor.
There was no electricity, so at night we used these lamps and solar powered lanterns. I don’t know how people did handwork at night back then.
We saw some wonderful scenery.
And Gorgeous Girl had her first experience with sparklers.
A little while ago I finished a shawl from some of this handspun.
It was my first, but not my last time, adding beads to my knitting.
a quick note. Absolutely love the shawl. It is gorgeous. Love the beads. A nice touch. Did you have a good break? Congrats with your hubby’s birthday!
Happy birthday to your gorgeous man! Your shawl looks gorgeous too
Wow, that shawl is just incredible!!!
Happy birthday to your Gorgeous Man. I wish him well in his new decade of life.
Happy BDay GMan! I agree, that shawl is gorgeous – is that the Elly Shawlette? I did the test knit for that one!
Happy Bday to GMan!
I saw these tyre-tables in a korean drama. They had them on the set in the students’ club room (the drama was set in a drama and music college) and I remember thinking that they were such a good idea!
Your Annis is really pretty.
