Its summer time. School’s are off. We spent a whole month at grandma’s house. Had a wedding in family, so we were supper excited and super busy.
Back to home, I am left with 12 days of summer holidays with a big to-do list. Apart from 4 day long jet-lag, unannounced guests that stayed for two days, And another evening guest, unpacking, a month of dirty laundry, dirt and dust everywhere, it was overwhelming for me. Top it with kids untouched home work that had to be done in a tiny week.
And now the school are opening in two days, I am extremely burned out, almost unproductive. Soo stressed, that my brain has shut down, It can’t bear it any longer.
I needed a time out, my brain seriously needed to detached from this world just for a little time, all I need was a happy, fulfilling, self-worth kind of timeout.
The result: Instead of checking out my to-do list, I am sitting on my bed with my yarn and crochet hook. Kids are still sleeping, so i ridiculously crochet for 3 hours.
My perfect gateway. My sanity saver.
LITTLE POUCH PATTERN
By elisabeth andrée. Click here for free pattern.
I found this pattern on pinterest and got hocked to the cuteness of these little pouches. A few hour project, making them perfect weekend project. If you love needle work like me, it’s a good little exercise for your anxious fingers, that are desperate to get back to needles after a long break.
I thought it would be nice to make it for my husband. I used a Cameo yarn to be on masculine side. And used size 5.5mm size needle instead of 4.0mm, that made the bag a little big in size.
I filled the pouch with candies, it feels like, emergency food stock for a desperate soldier. Hahaa.
I really like the outcome. Will gladly make more. Thank you elisabeth.
Enjoy!
