Tagged by Myrthestiek , who asked me to tell about an ordinary day. So I picked yesterday. 6:30 am Woken up by Dory who jumps into my bed. While she is playing with some soft toys, I do some reading. 7:30 am The alarmclock goes off. 7:45 am We really go out of bed, take a shower, get dressed, arrange the breakfast table, tell my youngest son where to find his planner, PE kit, tie, football boots and so on. 8:30 am The boys leave home for school. While having my own breakfast, I run through dozens of emails and have a look at Ravelry. 9:15 am Dory and I leave home and walk to her preschool. 10:00 am Back home again. Time for my first cup of coffee of the day (Starbucks Christmas blend) and to answer and write some mails. Later I start to prepare some orders and have more coffee. In between I do some knitting on these socks. Lozenge socks, using the yarn I got from Johanna in my Vintage Socks parcel . 12:00 Collecting Dory. She has had a good time at preschool. We walk to a busst...

She is not allowed to do her arty work on the floor and she knows that. But sometimes it is too tempting for her. I simply had to snap a photo before wiping it clean. After that she hand painted the hand spun Corriedale I got from Sarah . She choose the colours: hot fuchsia, blue and violet and had a lot of fun dyeing the wool. Aren't the pink gloves pretty? She did a very fine job! We're not quite sure what to knit with the wool, but Dory is leaning towards a bag. She loves bags.

DD is a typical 3 year old who loves modelling, sticking, cutting, painting and scribbling. The effort counts more to her then the result. With an empty cone, pieces of fabric and thread cuts she created a lovely 'princess'.
