Re-opening Store

Slowly but surely I'll be uploading new items in my etsy store. So far there's a few new bags and neck warmers. I'll be uploading more beanies as well. kikiknits.etsy.com is where you'll find it.

Fresh Start

Meditation. Time change this weekend. Welcoming the light!

Visit to the Island

We are missing our island home and it's environment, so we decided it was time for a paddle over and have a walk through the forest to the studio and then onto the beach and rocks all around the island.

Lief walked most of the ways and climbed the rock, discovered deer bones and walked on the dock at the other side of the island.

It was wonderful and made us appreciate the island surroundings even more. It stilled our longing, just for a little while...

Knitting in the sun

Oh this has been so wonderful! Today there were beautiful blue skies and we basked in the sun. The little sage was soaking it up, just like me! During the afternoon naps of my sons, I was able to get some knitting in and finish a little neckwrap, yeah... Here's my little stash of neckwraps and beanies so far:

Beach walk treasures

We seem to be finding some odd treasures along the beach these days. On our last beach walk we found this moss covered chair tucked away in the bushes and of course we had to inspect it closer: I'm enjoying the light on these walks, it's like it's autumn, low sun, warm colours, but also beautiful greys. Wish I could go to the studio to explore these with paint. Oh well, for now photography has to do the trick...

Party time

This morning was A`s birthday party, which was so much fun. A`s mom and dad had planned many fun games involving music and balloonsWhen it was time for the cake, L. thought nobody was looking and he could get first dips... Someone managed to stop him so that A. could blow out the candles on an untouched cake, while a very attentive audience was anticipating their first bite....

Happy third birthday, girl!

Sun and Ice

We've had some amazing weather these past days and enjoyed going for walks on the beach. When the tide withdrew, it left behind a layer of ice on the seaweed, rocks and mudflats, which is much fun to explore.

Little S. slept through it all: L. likes to grab a handful of ice:

And then explore it further in his mouth...:
