what do you do when you're ill at home?

well, when I feel well enough to actually not fall asleep every minute and keep my eyes open long enough, I shop online, I try to read, I search the internet for new cool things, whatever flows by me, I shop online.

Did I mention I shop online? this really kills my wallet every time I'm at home with a flu, I don't really have a clue where my online shopaholism (is this even a word?) comes from but it's only there when I'm ill at home that I find the need for so many new things. So far I've ordered new equipment to go with my new camera (a new crumpler camera bag, a lense, a book about photography) and I just stopped myself from ordering a, what we call a Friesennerz where I come from, which is basically a north german rain coat, a fancy one though. But WHEN does it actually happen that I step out into pouring rain? willing to face the pouring rain? without any umbrella? and enjoying it? Do you dance in the rain? I never, not on purpose.

oh and I search for new cool things, just one afternoon and I found bodyrock.tv. I need to try this even though it looks like pain. They also have a youtube channel which I already subscribed to.

And to compensate all the weight I will loose (because I will train so hard #wink, not really) I found out about crock pots, they might not be new to you, but they are to me. Slow cookers are not common in my country and even though I know slow cooking methods I didn't know there were actually pots just for this one purpose. The page that brought me to crock pots was this article about no-knead bread in a cock pot btw.

best bit of my weekend

#photoadayJune

I've been in bed with a serious flu and fever half last week so the best bit of my weekend is (as sad as it is) my fever is gone and I almost feel like a human being again. I still cough and sneeze and sound wonky and therefore I'm not writing a weekly flashback this week, there wouldn't be much to tell on the other hand; I drank lots of tea though... and last weeks winner is still not found

hat

#photoadayJune

this looks like two but it actually is only one hat, one that's supposed to be turned in or out, a "two-hat-in-one" hat if you will. I started this in winter (I believe late October with all the designing and stuff) but then with a pop Winter was over and I stopped knitting it. But it's on my list with two other things that I want to finish within this month. Please cross your fingers for me, will you? Also is there anything you want to knit up this month?

alarmingly cute

you might know this one but it's so cute I'm sharing it again

there even is a 10 minute and a 10 hour (in words TEN HOUR) version of this o_O

weekly flaschback

|seen| this video by Charlie McDonnell, I swear if he would be ten years older I totally married him, no matter his thoughts about it ^__^ |heard| there was a yarn feast pretty near by but with the train costs and new yarn (because you don't go to a market without buying anything) I decided not to go, my wallet would have committed suicide otherwise I guess |learned| all those cute little baby hats with teddy bear ears or cat ears or any animal ears do have a purpose! when a demon tries to steal your babys soul or the baby itself the demon will actually be tricked by the animal ears to think it IS an animal, so your child is safe |read| The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.. so far (only just started) I need to get used to the style this is written in, it is quite like listening to someone who is constantly switching between thoughts when talking, little hard to follow |done| visited my local stitch'n'bitch...yay |eaten| prosciutto and tomatoes - sooo gooood |drunk| Chai Tea Latte at Starbucks, love that kind of tea, always liked tea with milk (and without) so I'm glad the Chai Tea one is still "Hip" |thought| I had carried watermelons to a party...only it wasn't me, who was it? first one to comment correctly will win a pattern made by me of their choice, just make sure I can contact you by leaving email or ravelry name in a second comment |been pleased| with nothing special really, the whole week has been quite nice |got annoyed| with my eyebrows, or rather myself...on Monday I was coloring my hair again and I had that stupid idea to see how my eyebrows would look like with just a tad more red in them, turns out they get like bright orange (don't laugh at me) and I'm glad I'm a girl and can add eyebrow pencil to correct that, otherwise I dunno if I would feel comfi leaving the house |wished| I hadn't have that stupid idea with the hair dye |bought| new moisturizer (fascinating, right?) ^__^ |clicked| my blog readers feed and sorted through a few things, what I found while doing so were a few recipes I had forgotten about and want to try in the near future like this ravioli recipe with pears and bacon

knitting growing

My revival dress/pullover is growing, I've been to a stitch'n'bitch yesterday and had quite good progress on the dress, meanwhile I'm like "I want this to be a dress soon" and no longer fear it will end up being a pullover, besides the knitting I had a lovely chat with three lovely ladies there, it's always nice to meet new people and I hope to see them again.

hope you have a nice weekend too ^__^

my morning

#photoadayJune

the new month is here, it's June! it doesn't look June right now though, it had rained the whole night, pretty steady continuous gentle rain, super for nature and I don't mind at all as well ^__^ it's stopped for now and I'm going for a run. What's your morning like today?

in case you want to join to, fatmumslim just released the themes for this month
