Craftwise, I haven't made much more than a mess of late, as I haven't felt in the mood, but whilst we were in Germany and during the journey, I did crochet these hats for my grandees. With so many tiny girlies in the family they will always fit one of them!
Sometime ago, someone (I think in America), wanted some of these Dolly Pegs. I bought these, quite cheaply in Germany so if it was YOU who needed them then please let me know. If more than one person applies I'll raffle them, but I can get more on my next trip!
More pics of Lueneburg, the picturesque town where we stayed. First the view from the balcony of our rented apartment, over the Aldstadt (old town)...
Below, the old church of St Michaels, in the old town, where Johann Sebastian Bach was a choirboy around 1700
Market day in the town hall squareBicycles everywhere!
The Rathaus... (Town Hall)... it's history dates back to 1230 and the town's prosperity was based on the salt trade.
I love these statues and the little girl in the middle has her tongue out to catch the rain!
Down by the river
Everyone sits outside, Winter and Summer, but there are warm blankets provided with a different colour at each cafe.
Gorgeous photos of your vist Jo and those little hats are really lovely. I've been knitting little hats today too :-)

More cute little hats. Grandee Rose loves the one you made for her. Love seeing the photos too, x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've got home safely, Jo. Those little hats are lovely. I bet all your little girls look beautiful in them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty place your family live in. The flowers in the market are lovely and you had great weather by the looks of it. We keep talking of having a holiday in Germany. It tends to be a place that gets overlooked but is very beautiful.
I hope your little Grandee is doing well. I think about her often.
Thanks for your lovely comments.

So glad you managed to get some crafting in, Jo, and were not too dispirited to leave... Positive vibes winging their way... That is a very picturesque little town and such nice weather... It has been nice here though... Been to NEC today... Got an interesting piece on my blog just now, and some kittens on Saturday if that would cheer you up!!
ReplyDeleteLove and light
