uncertainty of what the future holds... Lock down 2.0 starts tonight
with some modifications from the first version... I've watched the numbers sky rocketing from 400 - 9000/day in just a few weeks and I can't help but wondering how we will ever be able to control this pandemic monster... I turn off all News channels, stop reading the updates. I don't want to hear one more word
about Covid, the terrorists or the US election... Don't even go there...<br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class=""> </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="">I retreat into my own
world, a world where I feel safe, a world I understand and can control more than the big one. A world where my actions makes an instant difference. Such as noticing to the Little Things that brings me joy. I list them in my head: a late blooming flower, a
grazing cow, the sun rising above the the French Alps, a confused lady bug on my window sill, a cup of extra creamy coffee with a ginger cookie or two, my morning walks, a
snuggle with my husband, a cat laying next to me on the couch in the evening, my big girl making me laugh-cry like no other can, an upbeat tune that makes
me want to dance, a smile from a neighbor, a hot shower, dinner together every night, a hug from my teenage boy, a
row of crochet, the freckles on my little girl's face, lighting candles, the sound of the wind and the smell of fall. Just to mention some. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class=""> </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="">Stay
strong, stay safe, stay optimistic. Be kind. Love is all around even if it at times doesn't feel like it. Even when it feels like the world has gone totally crazy and out of control... Escaping the big picture and diving into the little things soothes my worried soul. Do you too make lists of Little Things to sooth yourself when you feel overwhelmed? What's on your list? Little Things is what life is all about in the end. Little things makes for a brighter and more joyful world. Taking pictures of Little Things and writing about Little Things work as positive affirmations. So I keep on listing things that brings me joy: woolly socks, soft yarn, a water color painting, a handwritten birthday card, my fabric stash, Long Train Running by The Doobie Brothers, baking, Gogglebox on UK's Channel4, my big girl playing the piano... This too will pass... eventually. I
mean, shit can't go on forever... Can it?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are at the last </span>stretch<span> of a two week long October break. I've enjoyed it to the full. This is the
year of no plans so we've spent this school break at home. Luca Bo
<i>(who has started his four year long apprenticeship to become an awesome
wood worker/carpenter/builder)</i>
has been working most days as he no longer can benefit from school vacations.
I think he was a little bit upset when reality sunk in last week, being the
only one who needed to get up at dawn while the rest of us slept in. I'm so
beaming proud of my boy, who gets up at 5.30 am making himself a frothy coffee
and grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast. He prepares his lunch sandwiches
and get ready to leave the house an hour later to catch the bus before sun
comes up. All by himself. As a mother with a built in supervising radar, I
usually wake up about the same just to make sure he is up
<i>(without him even knowing... I just put my "Mama elephant ears" into
practice and listen for noise from his bedroom or the kitchen and as soon as
I hear him I turn around and fall back asleep...)</i>
and not one single time has he overslept. In fact, he has never ever missed a
school bus or been late for school in his whole life. That is more than I can
say about myself...

While Luca Bo has been working - learning how to set a tile floor, renovate a
wooden chair and build a door
<i>(I love love LOVE that he has chosen this professional route, it is so
him!!!)</i>
- the rest of us have had sleep in mornings and little on our agendas. As I
work at an International school as an After School Carer, I have school break
too and I've made the most of it by diving back into my crochet hobby. I've
spent lots of time making slow but satisfying progress on my, for the moment,
three WiP's:

The weekend gave us fabulous autumn weather with crisp fresh air and sunshine.
I decided to tidy up the shed, which was a complete disaster... Some of you
might have seen it on my Instagram @myrosevalley. It was one of those
spontaneous projects that you start on a whim with great enthusiasm and after
10 minutes you ask yourself<i>: "Why on earth did I start this???"</i> I stuck
it through, dragged everything out, swept the floor, cleaned up all the mice
poop, spider webs and dead bugs. Sorted, cleaned and re-arranged. I put up a
number of big nails on the wooden walls to hang things. When all was done I
was so chuffed with the result that I had to show it to every family member
and get praised for my efforts <i>(like a child... I know...)</i><span class="ILfuVd"><span class="hgKElc"><br /></span></span></span></span>
</div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span><i>"Oh Mama, you've done so well. It looks great. Bravo!!!"</i> Bless my
children for knowing I need praise just as much as they do. <i> </i></span></span>

On Sunday Jay and I took a long walk chatting about future plans. As a couple
in our early 50's and with only teenagers in the house nowadays
<i>(how did that happen?)</i>, things are changing dramatically for us all and
you start to think about what is coming next... Who are we? What do we want to
do? Where are we going? As much as our youngest Emmy Bo is having a
challenging time with existential thoughts in puberty, I guess we are going
through a bit of the same thing... It's all new to us and it is a bit of
challenging times. I think they call it midlife crises...
</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
A friend once asked me:<br /><i>"Annette, you - who always are in some sort of crises - can you help me
because I think I'm having a crises and I don't know how to deal with
it."</i>
</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
Yep, that's me. And often I've been ashamed or annoyed of being that deep
thinker, analytic person, questioning and putting to much thought into
things... It hasn't been easy, it still isn't, but it is who I am and who I've
always been. I guess you can say I've been in puberty crises, friendship
crises, being single crises, changing job crises, love crises, moving country
crises, getting married crises, becoming a mum crises, missing my home country
crises, loneliness crises, who am I crises, low self esteem crises, I'm not
good enough crises... Do you want me to go on? Crises has such a
negative sound to it though and I prefer to call all these things challenges
of life.
</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
As we travel on this journey through life, obstacles will occur and we will
find ways to get around them. We will find solutions. And if we didn't have
these challenges that forces us to reflect upon where we are, what we are
doing and what we really want, how on earth would we be able to grow and dare
to open doors to new exciting paths that might, or might not, lead us to new
places, people and personal growth? I'm not saying that it is at all easy, but
I do believe we sometimes have to stop and reflect on which path to take
next.
</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
So anyway, we went on this beautiful afternoon walk up the mountain above our
house and chatted lightly about this next phase in life. "The middle aged
couple with grown up kids" phase. What does that mean? I'm not sure. I can
recall so many people telling me throughout the years to really enjoy and
cherish the time I have with the kids because one day they will be big and
wanting to leave the nest... And I guess I always knew that, of course, but
even if I did it has kind of sneaked up on me. It feels like it has all
happened so suddenly. I just didn't really see
<i>(with emphasis on that word "see"...) </i>it coming. Now I am the one
saying the same thing to other mothers with young children. So bizarre... Time
passes so quickly without you even noticing. Today is coming to an end already
and a new day is to arise... and so life goes on. Somehow it feels like time
is passing quicker and quicker the older I get. Do you feel the same way?
</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>

</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
At the end of the weekend I packed up my crochet, put away all my "bench time
props" and closed the now tidy and organized shed. It really was an awesome,
productive and relaxed weekend and although this week has been a bit hectic so
far, I'm still making the most out of my "staycation", focusing on what I want
to do instead of what I should do. And who knows... maybe this "staycation"
will continue for a while... I suspect a new lock down might soon be
reality... Corona is not giving in... quite the opposite.
</span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
</span></span><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>
Take care my lovelies. Stay safe. But live. Don't forget to make the most of
every day you have on this planet. And if that is making big changes, taking
action on projects or just chilling with crochet, you decide.</span></span><br />

Hello my lovelies!</span>
I'm so happy to see so many new visitors here at My Rose Valley. Warm
welcome to you all. 💕😊 💕 It is cold and nippy outside and after a great
start with some delicious Good Morning Keto Pancakes (see recipe below) and a cup of
morning tea, I'm ready for this day. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">I suffer from pain in my
lower back (arthritis the doctor said a few years ago...) that makes me sleep poorly at night and walk like an old lady in the mornings before warming up, and a couple of weeks ago I had enough and decided to go on a
low sugar - low carb routine to kick the inflammation that causes the ache. Already after a week
of cutting out all sugars and "bad" carbs the pain has been reduced 50%. I'm
so pleased with my progress. If you're interested I'll tell you more about
what it is I'm doing different in a separate post, give you some suggestion
of my average daily menu and the tips and tricks I've discovered to stick to
this routine without falling off the wagon. I don't look at it as a forever and ever diet, it is a tool to help my body recover and get rid of the inflammation more than anything, just so you know. Let me know in the comment field
below if you want to know more. <br /></span>

leave it there, prepped and ready for a moment of reflection on the bench

I'm determent! It has been so comforting to
hear that many of you are procrastinators just like me. It has inspired me
to get going with what is holding me back for the moment... No more time to
wait for the "right mood" to appear. Sometimes it's just about taking the
first step and off you go. Like putting on the trainers and step outside the
door for that daily walk even if the "right mood" isn't there yet. Once
you're outside walking the "right mood" will arrive and afterwards comes the
reward of feeling fantastic. Let's do this!</span>

From what??? I still haven't done ANYTHING of what I was planning to accomplish today. I
even got up early this morning at 6.30 am, to set the professional tone. Prepared my
morning tea and breakfast, did NOT turn on the dreadful TV news, did NOT take out the crochet. I got dressed, brushed my teeth and went to
my office to work. I did EVERYTHING to avoid distraction, to make room for productivity and focus... But I'm totally blocked. It is 3pm and I'm still in limbo... feeling the restlessness eating me from the inside and just finding new distractions to delay taking action on the work assignment. <br /></div><p>I sure don't like myself when I'm like this. I'm not proud of it. I think it is related to my creative nature, stress and insecurity. Lack of control. And right now <i>(as I've mentioned in previous blog posts this last week)</i> it is just too much shit <i>(pardon my French)</i> going on right now. I'm waiting for inspiration... the urge of jumping right in to the creative and productive me, but inspiration doesn't come easy when forced... This happens every now and then to the creative professional me and somehow I always pull it off in the last minute. It will happen... but not right now. I think I'm trying to hard. </p><p>Instead I write this blog post, say warm WELCOME to all you new visitors dropping in from Lucy's wonderful <a href="https://www.attic24.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Attic24</a> to say hi. I'm so happy to have you here and I hope you'll stick around for a bit so I can get to know you better. :) And after pressing publish I'll go outside for a walk in the sun, check in on the flowers still adding color to my garden to find some peace, and maybe I'll sit on my bench for a bit and work on my little potholder project I started last night. I love the colors, I love the stitch, I love the fabric it creates. It is all good vibes in this project. So, I'm just gonna go "vibing" for a bit, as my kids would say. A new word I recently have learned and quickly added to my vocabulary. I like it a lot. I should go "vibing" more often and maybe the "vibing" will create the "right mood" as Calvin & Hobbes explain in the comic strip above. What do you think? Are you like me sometimes or is it just me? And what do you do to stop the dilly-dallying, stalling or whatever you like to call it? I would love to know. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Crochet notes:</b> <i>Potholder made with two strands of Sports Weight mercerized Cotton and a 5.5 mm hook using the Thermal stitch, <a href="https://www.sewrella.com/crochet-potholders-free-pattern/" target="_blank">pattern here</a> by Sewrella.

something. The word has origin from the Latin procrastinatus, which
itself evolved from the prefix pro-, meaning "forward," and crastinus,
meaning "of tomorrow."</i></p><p><span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="hgKElc"><b>Vibing:</b> <i>When you are feeling normal - not uptight or anything, just chilling out.</i></span></span></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

font-size: large;">I walk down</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> through my village, the sun is coming in and out behind the clouds. Trees are starting to change colors. I pass the flowers shop and all the beautiful autumn flowers arrangements. I take a mental note to tidy up my geraniums when coming back, preparing to change geraniums for autumn colors at the <span style="font-family: inherit;">front of my house.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>
</span><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I cross the fields with my village on my right, walk along the river, into the woods following the path between the pine trees shooting for the stars. An hour later I'm back home longing for a frothy coffee and some crochet time on my bench. One has to take the chance when the weather is nice, right. </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I prep my favorite spot: blanket and sheep skin to sit on, pillow for my lower back. Table cloth on the stone table. I bring out my crochet WiP, the Blanket Of Hope. Oh my, I need some Blanket Of Hope therapy on this gorgeous day. A newly purchased pot with autumn blossoms and a bright orange pumpkin at the foot of my bench will make my spot even more cozy. I get distracted and spend a good half an hour taking care of my geraniums at the front of the house and by the time I come back, with frothy coffee and all, my place is stolen by a little Miss Maya the cat... She refuses to move. I gently try to pull the blanket a bit, but she is moving at all. I don't have the heart to push her off... Big sigh... there goes my crochet time...</span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well oh well, luckily I'm a multi project kind of girl with a number of WiP's on the go at the same time... I fetch WiP no 2, the Cluster V-stitch Baby Blanket. It will do. We sit there, Maya and I, until my coffee is gone and my fingers cold. It starts to sprinkle and I pack it all up, put all the blankets and pillows in the shed and rush inside before the rain comes. Next time the sun is out I'll do it all again... prep my space, get distracted but eventually I'll have my moment. Sometimes just 5 minutes, other times more. I love my spot. I love my bench.</span></p><div><br /></div>

How it spreads a golden layer over the fields, tree tops, roads and houses. I'm in the car, listening to some gentle tunes from my Chill & Dream playlist. I'm trying to catch the feeling. The bus stops in front of me and lets people off. Young and old, I can't see their faces. They are covered in masks and something inside of me just bursts in that moment... this is so surreal. How did we end up here? I'm not sure if I can take more of... of what? Just everything! <br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I've had a shitty day. Work at school was extremely busy, loud, challenging. Just a constant running around. Lively kids pushing limits non stop, more than usual. I'm tired. Really really tired...<br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">As if drama at work wouldn't be enough, the drama at home seem to escalate by the day. There is always a drama of some sort. Being a teenage Mum really puts you to the test at times. Small kids, small problems - big kids, big problems you know... It is just more challenging emotionally I find. It's no longer black and white, yes and no... it's a constant grey zone of negotiation, understanding. listening, balancing pros and cons, give and hold back... So, a tear finds its way down my cheek and I decide to not hold back and just let them flow for a minute. Because everything has just piled up throughout the week. It's been a stressful week needless to say. I guess it all had to come out in tears at some point. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I'm not afraid of emotions. I've learned that crying can be a relief, a good way of rinsing yourself from heavy loads of stuff, all kind of stuff. It's like the fogginess of frustration, stress, hurt, pain, helplessness, sadness - whatever it is - evaporates with every tear. Afterwards I always feel more clear in my mind, focused on finding solutions instead of being trapped in negativity. So I cry in the car the last kilometer going back home...<br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I arrive home, park the car. I don't shout a cheerful <i>"Hello!"</i> as I always do. Instead I go straight upstairs, change work outfit to cozies, woolly socks on. I salute Jay who prepares dinner in the kitchen, grab a beer and go outside to my bench, sit myself down, feet on the table. I can see the French Alps sticking up behind the bee hive church. It feels great to just sit there while the sun goes down, watching Jay by the stove inside in the kitchen. I drink my beer in silence, let thoughts flow and after a while I feel ready to go back in and take part of family life inside. A family life I do treasure and love deeply. Including all the good, bad and the ugly. I wouldn't want it any other way. My family is my everything. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

</div>
Hello my lovelies. </span>Thank you for popping in to my world here in Blogland the last couple of
days. I'm really enjoying having you around. These last days have been just
crazy. Prepare yourself for a bit of a download from my end... </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">First Nelly announced on Saturday morning that she was a Covid positive
"close contact" which meant we all had to figure out how that effects us as a
family, with school and work. Suddenly I felt caught off guard not knowing who
to turn to, who to contact for advice. Luckily we were given a Health &
Safety guideline brochure from work at the beginning of the school year and I
turned to that, finding detailed procedures for any Covid scenario imaginable,
links to websites and a Covid Hot Line phone number. To begin with we decided to quarantine
ourselves until further notice from the authorities. <br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The Covid Hot Line declared that Nelly Bo was to self isolate for 10 days and
to do a Covid test 5 days from latest contact with the Covid positive person. A
lady called and confirmed Nelly Bo's status, interviewed her regarding the
transmitting situation and told us the federal council of Switzerland would
contact us with more information and send a "Covid situation certificate" to
show for school and work. They also told us that as long as no one in the
household are showing symptoms, the rest of the family can just continue their
life like normal. Hmmm... doesn't make sense to me but ok... I'll follow
the instructions given right?
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We waited and waited and no one called. We called the Hotline again on Sunday
and then once more on Monday, receiving the same information as before
<i>(at least they were consistent in their information)</i> but still nothing
from the authorities. Nelly started to get nervous and stressed about missing
out on school, falling behind on the big test week before mid-term break,
teachers chasing her and wondering why she didn't come in to school, wanting her to
validate her absence... not being very understanding or patient. On Monday Jay
took Nelly Bo and Luca Bo to get tested and 24 hours later we got the result:
NEGATIVE. Phew!
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Knowing that Nelly Bo hasn't caught Covid from her friend felt good. She
still has to fulfill the full 10 days of isolation, however in a household of
five where we dine and hang out all the time, share bathrooms, towels, open
doors and cupboards, grab jam jars and milk bottles... you get it. I'm not
surprised that this virus spreads so quickly as it is almost impossible to
avoid if someone in your family gets it. Even if she spends most of her time
in her room she will have to leave it to go to the toilet, get food, take a
shower... And then I'm continuing going to work and... I don't
know. I'm just confused. Luckily Nelly Bo is negative, but even before we knew
that, the authorities told us to go to work and school... Is it just me who
thinks that is weird? Shouldn't we all have isolated ourselves until we received the test result?<br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Anyway, after days of waiting we found out that the Covid department currently
is overwhelmed by new cases and can't keep up with all reports and that is why
it took four days for the authorities to finally confirm that Nelly Bo was put
in self isolation following the federal protocol and regulations. Finally she
now has a document validating her absence from school. What a roller coaster of emotions its been. Crying one day. Feeling ok another. Just to fall into tears again because of not knowing or getting any answers...<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Yeah, what can I say. Covid is like that annoying mosquito in the room that
you can't see. It goes quiet and you think that now it is gone, things are
good, I won't get bitten. And then when you least expect it it comes back annoying the hell out of
you buzzing in your ear, putting everything to a stall, winding up that inner
fear and confusion once more. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This "new normal" is not an easy life. I escape
to my yarn basket and my <a href="https://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/05/blanket-of-hope-part-3-circle-in-square.html" target="_blank">Blanket Of Hope WiP</a> <i>(see previous posts on this project below)</i>... It feels like the only thing I
can do. And I really want to finish this blanket before the end of the year.
Snuggle up under it. Feel the comfort of every stitch that has helped me to stay sane,
calm and to breathe through this messed up year. I couldn't have done this without my yarn and hook... So far we are lucky to not
have lost any loved ones, no one of us has yet gotten sick... I just wonder though if it
is just a question of time... My thought goes out to all of you who already
have been victims of this virus in some way. I can't even imagine the stress and pain you've been through... but keep on fighting, staying safe and look after each other. As they all say: This too will pass. I just wonder
when? </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Previous posts and tutorials on The Blanket Of Hope:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/03/crochet-circles-blanket-of-hope.html" target="_blank">Crochet circles - a Blanket Of Hope</a> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/04/blanket-of-hope-part-1-supplies-facts.html" target="_blank">Blanket Of Hope - Part 1: Supplies & Facts</a></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/04/blanket-of-hope-part-2-circle-pattern.html" target="_blank">Blanket Of Hope - Part 2: The Circle pattern</a><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/05/blanket-of-hope-part-3-circle-in-square.html" target="_blank">Blanket Of Hope - Part 3: Circle in square pattern</a><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /></div>

Oh dear Dahlia beauty!</span>
Now I get it. I get why some people have gardens overfilled with with these
beauties in all shapes, sizes and colors. They are just G O R G E O U S!
Simply makes you happy no matter the weather, mood or situation. <br />
</div>
<p>
We planted a number of bulbs in our garden during lock down and in July they
started to bloom. At one point I had a flower big as my head in the garden.
That was a great moment. This year has been a Dahlia trial year for us. Some
varieties worked great while others didn't do that well at all. I think we
need a little bit of schooling on the subject until next year. Any advice you
might have is welcome.
<span style="font-size: small;">I also want to grow zinnias, echinacea, phlox, cosmos, and so many more
flowers. I'm not sure about growing from seeds... I seem to always fail.
Any advice there too? <br /></span>
</p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: small;">With cats running around my legs </span>and
the sun slowly descending on Saturday afternoon, I collected some over bloomed
and broken flower stalks. Apparently that is what happens to Dahlias this late
in the season, the stalks bend and all flowers end up hanging or laying on the
ground... But even these upside down, weather bitten, broken and dirty Dahlias
takes your breath away. I'm in love! I tied two bright and colorful bouquets
to bring inside. One bouquet found its place in the bathroom window, the other
one in the living room. They might not last long but ooooh they make me so
heart skippy happy!
</p>
<p>
This winter I want to teach myself a bit about growing a flower garden. How to
choose seeds and bulbs, plan the garden beds, how to plant, when... Next year
I want my garden to look like Kate's at the blog

patch to grow on, many years of growing experience and all that but still. One
is allowed to dream. To wish. To hope for a flower garden dream to one day
come true...

</div>Hello my lovelies!</span>
It's been grey and rainy for quite a good week now. The temperature dropped
from jolly 25-27 degrees to chilly 10-12 over night last week. Autumn is
here for sure and I haven't been out in the garden since the sun disappeared.
But yesterday late afternoon it cleared up and the light was amazing. I
pottered around, took pictures and planned in my head what I want for
this garden next year. <br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We have suffered an infestation of
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/advice/pests_and_diseases/identifier.shtml?chafer_grubs" target="_blank">grubs</a>
<i>(won't show you any here, they destroy the beauty of this post...)</i> this
year. They are all over our garden and are killing all our plants, vegetables,
bushes, the grass... you name it. It's been a disaster and the garden has
never looked so poorly and beat up. It is out of our control and all we can do
is to just hope it will go away on its own. However, some flowers are still
hanging in there, like the Dahlias and some herbs. Slightly bloomed out but still gorgeous.
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We had a great tomato year and the yellow cherry tomatoes were by far the
sweetest and most flavorful kind I've had. We've been eating them like candy
and once Jay made the most delicious yellow tomato sauce with pasta. Just
tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper and some olive oil, some shredded Parmesan
cheese on top... What more do you need for a great dish? It was amazing!<br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We got a big and bushy kale plant, I'm just waiting for the first frost to
come before harvesting. They say the frost makes kale more tender. I'm
actually not a big fan of kale but as this is a so called super food I just
have to give it a chance, right? I would love to make some kale chips in the
near future. And then maybe I'll try it in smoothies, pies, pastas...<br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The zucchini plant has fed us well but now I think it is done for the year. It
is amazing how many zucchinis one plant can grow. I think we've picked 20-30
of them? The best was picking them small and delicate, cook them soft and
tender and serve the cut in half length wise and serve as a side dish with
some butter, salt and pepper. D E L I C I O U S! When October break comes
around we'll rip it all out, veggies and plants, to really nourish the soil the
best we can in hope for a more productive and beautiful garden next
year.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I love being in my garden with crisp cold air and the sun finding its way in
with its golden light. It is so incredibly beautiful this time of the year. It
makes me feel like I'm in Sweden at the summerhouse, with wellies on,
unflattering baggy jeans and oversized gingham garden jacket. Liberty to just
be. <br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Something else that puts a stop to the liberty is this Covid Beast. We are
currently having a Covid19 situation in our household and we are trying to
figure out what measurements to take come work/school week starting
tomorrow... We are not directly effected by Covid ourselves, but one of Nelly Bo's closest friends has tested positive and they had lunch sharing food the other day. She is now on this boy's "Close contact" list. She has already started her quarantine of 10 days and
tomorrow she will do a Covid test. For the rest of us I'm not sure what we are supposed to do. I'm confused.
The information is not so clear in my opinion. I think we'll get ready to go to
school, apprenticeships and work like normal, but it doesn't feel great...
Hmmm... Hopefully we get some information from the authorities this
afternoon to bring some clarity to the situation.
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Anyway. I should go for a quick walk before the rain comes. Hope you all are
having a smashing Sunday. Sending lots of hugs and love from my home to yours.
Until next time - take care!

PS: I seriously dislike Bloggers new edit mode and I'm sorry for it
looking awful when posting <i>(gaps between pics etc... I can't fix it)</i>.
It is close to impossible to use. A real dinosaur layout... I need to change

30 seconds of calm.</span> After CrossFit. I was strong
today. The views are magnificent. I just had to pull over and
take it all in. Share it with you. 30 seconds turned soon into 30 minutes...<br /> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sun is shining.</span> It is warm. We have started to socialize again with small careful steps. I'm taking Nelly Bo to the beach to see her friends for the first time in 8 weeks. Her "Happy Playlist" is playing and she's excited. I'm excited for her. <br />
<i>"You know, Papa and I have been talking a little bit about summer..." </i>I say.<i><br />" Yeah..."<br />"We thought that as our plans have been totally changed, I mean, we will probably be in Switzerland all summer right, we had this idea that we could go camping and explore Switzerland? All together, stop at small lakes, grill hot dogs, hang out and play cards... Isn't that a great idea?"</i><br />
<br />
We're at a traffic light, I turn my head to look at her, she looks at me with a very serious face and simply says:<br />
<i>"No! I've been in isolation with you guys for 8 weeks and the last thing I want is to spend a summer vacation in a camper with you guys. I'm sorry, I love you, don't get me wrong, but no!"</i><br />
<br />
It hits home in an instant and I burst into laughter. The green light goes on. <br />
<i>"Ha ha ha! You are sooo right... I haven't thought of it that way. Silly me... What were we thinking?"</i><br />
<br />
We look at each other and laugh out loud together. Soon we arrive to the beach. She leaves and starts walking down to the water front with the beach bag over her shoulder and her messy pony tail wiggling from side to side...<br />
<br />
At her age I was already living alone and working, I drove around in my own car, paid bills and had my own phone line... The last thing on my mind at that age was to go camping with my family. I remember that now. I guess I forgot because I had this romantic view of a camping trip all together, you know, but I realize that is just a fantasy. At least for now. Nelly Bo would LOVE to camping with friends - oh yes! But not with us. No, no, no... too much fun going on in her life right now.<br />
<br />
On my way back from the beach I twist and turn my camping trip idea a bit in my mind... Maybe me and Jay should go camping on our own. Rent a small camper and leave the kids home alone for a few days. Hmmm... that actually sounds like a great idea! I better start researching campers for rent...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This girl of mine.</span> My little one. The last one of the three greatest gifts to my life. She came to us with demands, determination, stubbornness and confidence. With cuteness, laughter, a love for play, creativity, goofing around and with an endless source of imagination. She dares to go against the stream, dares to be different, follows her own path and her own ideas. She's a Peter Pan in a female body: full of adventures and with no desire to ever grow up. If she could, I think she would stay a child forever.<br />
<br />
Thirteen. A time of exploration, searching and finding your place in this weird world we live in. To fit in. Or not fit in. One leg in childhood, one leg in young adulthood. Not always rainbows, unicorns, gumdrops and magic fairy dust like it used to be. More of a roller coaster of emotions that can be exhausting, confusing, exciting and scary. All at the same time. For her. And for me.<br />
<br />
Yes, I worry, and I feel pain just like she does, and I selfishly want her to stay little forever... she is the last one and I'm really not ready for her to grow into a young adult... not just yet. I don't think anyone is ready for their kids to grow up and become adults. But I know I have to accept that it is happening, right before my eyes. So I give her space, room to cut loose and try her wings, find her tribe, her way... It is so so hard... So so beautiful. So so painful... so so rewarding...<br />
<br />
At night when I kiss her goodnight she says:<br />
<i>"I love you!"</i><br />
And I say:<br />
<i>" I love you too."</i><br />
Then she says:<br />
<i>" I love you more..."</i><br />
And I know she has won this game we play every night when I say:<br />
<i>" Well, I love you to the moon and back..."</i><br />
She laughs out loud with that special twinkle in her eye and says:<br />
<i>"But I love you to infinity and beyond!" </i><br />
And so we laugh together and feel the love in between us. To infinity and beyond. And I know she'll find her way, that I can do this. And she will do just fine and she will always be my littlest girl, no one can ever change that. Not even years passing by. Happy Birthday my Emmy Bo.<br />
<br />
<i>PS Cake is a homemade Swedish princess cake. Make a sponge for three layers. Put vanilla custard and raspberry jam on each layer including raspberry jam on top, cover with thick layer of hard whipped cream. Cover with thin layer of rolled out marzipan. Cut off waste around and tuck edges in. Eat chilled. :)</i><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Monday 11th of May 2020,</span> Stage 2 of Covid19 lock up starts today. Lets send our children back to schools, go back to our work places, open up the doors of commerce, services, restaurants and public places. We do recommend people to wear masks, wash hands properly numerous times a day, use hand sanitizers, avoid touching our faces, keep social distancing, sneeze into elbows and be careful "out there". If you develop ANY sign of Covid19 (I'm not going to list all 10, 20, 30 different symptoms related to this virus here...) you SHOULD stay at home and isolate yourself and your family for a minimum of 14 days with the last 48 hours being totally and completely symptom free. </i>Ok, I got it... Welcome back to "normal".<br />
<br />
Is this reasonable? Is this how life is supposed to be from now on? Can I give someone a hug? Or maybe I only can hug my children and my husband for the rest of my life? I'm confused. I'm not sure I resonate with it all or not. I don't know what to think, feel or do to be honest. Is it over? Am I comfortable with this? Are we ready? I'm not sure...<br />
<br />
A part of me is relieved that we are opening up society again, that my kids can go back to school and see their friends, that I can go back to work. That we can go back to "normal". "Normal"? This is NOT normal. This is sooooo far from normal it could be. I don't even remember "normal" anymore. <br />
<br />
Classes are split in two groups, Group A and Group B. My kids go to school every two days, rotating their schedule with Group B. They take public transport. They "elbow" their friends at school, spread out in the class rooms, but at least they have some type of routine and get to leave the house and have their "own" life for a few days a week. Emmy Bo and Luca Bo are very happy for that: the routine and getting out of the house.<br />
<br />
Nelly Bo is not back at gymnasium yet. Gymnasium students are considered adults as most of them are 17 - 20 years old which makes them more prone to catch the virus... they say.She has to wait and see what happens. Maybe she\ll go back the 8th of June...<br />
<br />
I'm back at work as an After School Care Teacher at a private school. We have had between two to six children staying every afternoon this week. Before Covid19 we had between 30-40 children. The new health and safety routines are very strict, not allowing parents into the building at all, less children, social distancing marked on floors, tables spread out, free masks and gloves given at entrance for those who chose to use those, a team of cleaners on constant mission of disinfecting furniture, door handles, toilets etc... It's alright, but totally weird.<br />
<br />
I have so many questions, I worry and look around me for guidance on how to behave in all this. But it doesn't help. Some people are totally relaxed and says <i>"Let's just live."</i> others covers up with face masks and gloves, standing meters away and telling me to be responsible and do the same. I find myself standing somewhere in the middle of all this, one foot in lock down behavior and one foot in <i>"I want to be free"</i>. I've made some decisions throughout the week, as days passed by and I adjusted to all this. Decisions I'm comfortable with, such as:<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> When going shopping I wear mask and gloves or I wash hands before and after my visit and use hand sanitizer. I keep distance and move slowly and responsibly through the store. And I don't go shopping if I don't really have to. No mindless "window shopping" or <i>"Ohhh, lets pop into this store and see what they have."</i> No, now I bring a shopping list, walk in, get what I need and go out. <br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> When working at the school I don't wear a mask or gloves. I keep social distance with my two dear colleagues but with the kids I find it hard. I sit next to them, but not too close, and we play games, talk and draw. I wash my hands multiple times throughout our afternoon sessions.<br />
<br />
I guess everyone has to find their own way of comfortable in this "new normal", and just like it took a good week or two to adjust to the lock down, we now need to adjust to this lock up. The fear has to go. It's just not worth walking around in fear. But saying that, we still need to be cautious and pay attention to hygiene and social behavior, keep distance when we can and not run out thinking <i>"Alright! Everything is open - lets go party!".</i> It's not over. This is just the first flat stretch in a marathon where we get the chance to catch our breath. New hills are to be climbed ahead of us. We just don't know when they will appear or how steep they will be. This race has just begun. That is what I think. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Saturday!</span> Hope you all are doing okay in your lock downs and maybe even lock down releases. Here in Switzerland we will face exciting (nerve wrecking???) releases of our confinement as of Monday when schools re-open and most shops and small restaurants are opening up again. But let's not talk about that today. I'm so tire of all the Covid19 and lock down talk. Let's focus on the crochet circles and your Blankets Of Hope!<br />
<br />
I'm half way through squaring off all my circles at this point. They look amazing and makes me so happy. I have chosen white as a square off color and will then add a colored row after this to join all my squares.<br />
<br />
I did some experimenting on adding the square row, adjusting stitches to make them complete square and pretty and such, but found that when I later add the joining row all that perfection doesn't really show anymore, so I'm sticking with simplicity. The squaring off row is a duplicate of a granny square row, the only difference is that it is added to a circle, so this will be easy peasy if you already know how to make a granny square. If your squares will look a little bit wonky when done, don't worry, when the joining row is added they naturally will turn into pretty perfect squares anyway.<br />
<br />
I do block my squares over night (no starching or water spraying, just stacking them on top of each other, see pictures above) and that seems to do the trick. I've made a blocking board out of some foam play mats and BBQ skewers. Works perfectly. <br />
<br />
As mentioned before, this project is a duplicate of the pattern I used for my <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">Circle In Square Blanket</a> (check it out <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">here</a>). Ok, I'm ready, let's go.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This pattern is written in UK terms</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>chain</b> - SWE luftmaska</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>slip stitch</b> - SWE smygmaska </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>UK treble</b> - US double crochet - SWE stolpe</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">NOTE: Chain 3 always counts as first treble.</span></span><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">TIP: </span></span></i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>If you are a dense crocheter you can add a chain between groups of trebles on Row 1 and Row 2 to loosen up your circle.</i> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In last space make 3trebles and finish row with making 1 treble in the starting space and slip stitch into top of your first treble made. </span></span>Fasten off and weave in ends.<i><br /></i></span></span><br />

All those colors and that white framing them. Love them all! Now, next up is to choose that joining color... I had decided on black to make it a classic version but now I'm thinking dark grey... or beige... or brown... or denim... or bubble gum pink? Or sunny yellow... or grass green... Oh my... How will I ever be able to choose!!!!???? </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The days passes by</span>, sometimes with nothing to hold more than a lazy morning, 20 pieces of puzzles laid in place, a few squared off crochet circles made, slow movements through the garden observing that one peony flower bud turns to three and then to six and wow - today two have opened up!<br />
<br />
My hair is a mess, I seem to live in yoga pants, t-shirts and my most ugly fleece jacket, sometimes PJ's all day long is not even noticeable for neither my family or my neighbors. There is a constant food preparation in the kitchen, lots of snacking throughout the days, numerous of coffees and teas and pretty much nothing to report or memories to save for the future.<br />
<br />
Other days I'm super productive, embracing and enjoying, interacting and accomplishing, baking, talking to family members, cleaning and avoiding the snack cabinet every time I pass it by. I even get dressed and I blow dry my hair after a morning shower. I stop and smell the beautiful sweet fragrance of the rapeseed fields in full bloom, listen to all those super loud birds in the forest and think that this is truly a gift to the world, to humanity, to me and my family. <br />
<br />
Nothing seems to be consistent. It doesn't work very well with my personality. You see, I like structure. I like repetitive routines and knowing what to expect from a day. Without guidelines or direction I'm like spilled milk on a kitchen counter, floating out and over the edge and in all directions... into to drawers and cabinets underneath... just a mess. Nothing gets done. Everything comes to a halt, unfinished... dust bunnies, bills, the annual tax declaration, dirty clothes on the floors, work, half-done projects, dusty shelves and so much more stares at me with angry eyes. <br />
<br />
I find myself in a phase of boredom. All the talk about embracing and seeing the small things and enjoying time together, think positive, we are lucky... All that feels like real bullshit at this point. There is tension, frustration, boredom, fatigue and a growing need for space, alone time and social interaction... I am (we are???) tired of smiling and being nice, patient and positive and all I really want to do is get on top of a mountain and just scream out that this really really fucking sucks! And so I do, in my mind. I say: <i>"This fucking sucks!"</i> because using those strong curse words gives a sense of relief. More depth to what I feel. And there is some sort of ease following my quiet screams.<br />
<br />
And so another day arises and once again it shows to be one of those productive, embracing, happy and positive ones... We are good. This is great. We are so lucky. And the days passes by - one good one, one bad, one good one bad... Looking at it that way, maybe there is some <span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="e24Kjd">consistency in these weird times after all. I find comfort in that. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Thursday!</span> I hope you've gone through your stash, chosen what size blanket you can and want to make with the yarn you already have on hand. Playing around with my stash is one of the most joyful things I know. It might sound geeky but just looking at the colors, sort into scraps, small balls and full skeins, separate fiber content and yarn weight can be soooooo satisfying. Don't you agree?<br />
<br />
I hope you found my <a href="https://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/04/blanket-of-hope-part-1-supplies-facts.html" target="_blank">Blanket Of Hope- Part 1: Supplies & Facts</a> post helpful. Today I'm sharing how to make the colorful crochet circles. My Blanket Of Hope is based on the pattern I used for my <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">Circle In Square Blanket</a> (check it out <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">here</a>). As mentioned before, there are many different variations of Circles In Square Block Patterns. Here are some that you can check out: <a href="https://justbcrafty.com/2017/04/circle-to-square-granny-square-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Circle To Square Granny Square</a>, <a href="https://www.craftpassion.com/crochet-sunburst-granny-square-blanket/" target="_blank">Sunburst Granny Square,</a> <a href="https://patterncenter.com/how-to-crochet-the-starburst-granny-squares-5/" target="_blank">Starburst Granny Square.</a> However, I make my circles my way and here is my tutorial.

<span style="font-size: large;">Rainbows in a bouquet</span> of tulips on my table. Rainbows in a cupcake for a yummy treat. Rainbows in Emmy Bo's new hair to match the cupcakes she made. Rainbows in my dahlias that we planted together in our garden. Rainbows in my basket of Tilda yarn. Rainbows in my Blanket Of Hope.<br />
<br />
Crochet rainbow obsession. One for Emmy Bo's window. One for Nelly Bo's friend Lou. One for the window of my shed. One for the kitchen window at my friend's house. Because she needs it, and I need it. Because EVERYONE needs a rainbow in their life. I see rainbows in so many things around me. It makes me happy!<br />
<br />
Big THANK YOU to Sandra at <a href="https://sandra-cherryheart.blogspot.com/2020/04/rainbows-and-silver-lining.html" target="_blank">Cherry Heart</a> for sharing this wonderfully cute, simple and FREE rainbow pattern called <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/dls/cherry-heart-designs/601256?filename=Silver_Linings_UK.pdf" target="_blank">Silver Linings</a> on her blog. I will make many more. Gift many more. Rainbows for hope. Rainbows for comfort.<br />
<br />
PS <i>TASSELS:Check out my Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B-q1Ig1lOHs/" target="_blank">here</a> for a video on how I make the tassels. I wrapped yarn around a deck of cards on the length, pull it off and then attach it. 3-4 wrappings is enough. :)</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">First of all, Thank You</span> for
your sweet uplifting messages and for sharing your own stories and feelings the days after my post of Falling into blues. So comforting and so much love. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I did withdraw a bit
to center myself and I feel much better now. <span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">I'm not sure I have any advice to give more than feel out your own situation (this is so individual...), take down your expectations on what you should do these days, relax a bit more and take one day at a time. After three weeks of trying to figure out a new routine and going through phases of shock, fear, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">confusion,super proaction</span></span></span>, frustration, exhaustion and so many more, I've reached a new phase: Embrace!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">If there is any
time in life where you can really, really take the opportunity to slow
down your life, step out of the hamster wheel and allow yourself to take
just one day at a time, it is now. I would hate to see myself go back to work in a month from now and asking mysel<i>f: "Annette, why did you waste that precious time away on stress, anxiety, fear and blues?" </i>So, with that in mind </span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">I'm entering
week 4 of isolation with my mind set on finding my own Slow Life pace. I want to enjoy this time I'm given to do the things I love the most. To reconnect with family and friends through regular phone calls and video coffees, taking care of myself and listening to what my body and mind needs. I want to spend time with my children and make that time coun<span style="font-family: inherit;">t, I want to live in the moment and only plan what needs to be done on a daily basis. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is incredibly liberating to let go of the all the negative stress of the Corona pandemic and allow myself to feel joy in being here - right now and alive - with my dearest people in a big home with a big garden and the spring sun awakening nature right before my eyes. I know terrible things are happening out there but I choose to embrace my little world of happiness right here. So I turn off the news, let go of a strict schedule, work a little bit from home, watch the kids come together in play and giggles, pat a cat, sit on my bench and crochet, go for long walks in the forest and feel blessed to be here. If I don't, I think I will regret it. </span> </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My Blanket Of Hope</span> is coming on pretty good. I now have almost 100 circles made. This project has really helped throughout these first few weeks of isolation. I am so so happy to be a crocheter right now, to have a hobby I love and that also works as a remedy against anxiety, boredom, frustration, stress and the risk of falling back into depression... Aren't we crochetoholics lucky?<br />
<br />
As requested, I'll share some information about this WiP; what supplies you need and some good facts to help you get started on your own Blanket Of Hope if you fancy. As we are all (more or less) in confinement, this project is a perfect one for using the stash you already have. Most of us do sit on a fair amount of scraps and left overs from other projects so dive into that stash and lets get started. Next time I'll share a tutorial on how I make my circles. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">BLANKET OF HOPE - Part 1: Supplies & Facts</span> </span><br />
I'm using my <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">Circle In Square Blanket</a> as a reference for measurements and pattern.<br />
<b><br /></b>
YARN WEIGHT: <br />
Scraps of DK/8ply weight wool, acrylic and mixed synthetics - no cotton<i>.</i><br />
<br />
HOOK SIZE:<i> </i><br />
4 - 4.5 mm (depending on your gauge)<br />
<br />
GAUGE:<br />
Not overly important, but check the size of a finished square below.<br />
<br />
SIZES: <br />
Squares measures 4.25" x 4.25" / 11cm x 11cm<br />
Border measures 4.5" x 4.5" / 11.5cm x 11.5cm<br />
<br />
YARN YARDAGE: <br />
Based on a Medium Throw Blanket (47"x 60" / 120cm x 155cm) approx. 1200g (3600m/3900yrd)<br />
<i>(This is a rough calculation and this will differ depending on the size of blanket you would like to make and the width of border.)</i><br />
• Scraps for circles (mixed colors) 450g (1330m/1453yrd)<br />
• Solid color for first square row 200g (590m/645yrd)<br />
• Solid color for joining color row 300g (885m/968yrd)<br />
• Border: 250g (740m/809yrd)<br />
<br />
BASIC BLANKET SIZES GUIDE<br />
<i>(approx. measurement including the border)</i><br />
Stroller Baby: 30"x35" / 75x88cm<br />
Toddler: 35"x48" / 75x120cm<br />
Throw Medium: 47"x 60" / 120cm x 155cm <br />
Throw Large: 51"x73" / 133x188 cm<br />
Twin Size: 60"x85" / 155x216cm<br />
<br />
SQUARES NEEDED FOR BLANKET GUIDE<br />
<i>(Width x Length) </i><br />
Stroller Baby: 5 x 6 = 30 squares <br />
Toddler: 6 x 9 = 54 squares <br />
Throw Medium: 9 x 12 = 108 squares (Circle In Square Blanket) <br />
Throw Large: 10 x 15 = 150 squares <br />
Twin Size: 12 x 18 squares = 216 squares<br />
<br />
Dive into your stash, squish and squosh, sort and play with colors. When you got it all ready we'll start making circles. Stay tuned for Blanket Of Hope - Part 2: The Circle Pattern.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I crashed.</span> Wednesday last week the energy left me. I walked upstairs, laid down on my bed and stared out the window for what felt an eternity. I cried a bit. Slept a bit. Didn't even move for a couple of hours. I was overwhelmed by it all; Coronavirus, constant news updates, being in isolation, finding a new daily routine, phone calls, chatting online, being on top of each other here at home. Yeah... it just got a bit too much.<br />
<br />
For a couple of days I slept and slept, moved around on low gear just doing the absolutely most necessary... I was mentally and physically exhausted. I turned off my phone and stopped watching the news. Started a puzzle with Emmy Bo. Listened to some documentaries and Swedish radio. Didn't talk to anyone. Didn't send a single text message. On Friday afternoon I felt better. I went outside in the garden and cut back my geraniums, poked around a little bit in the garden... Energy came back. <br />
<br />
I think with all that is going on this is not a surprise. I think loosing my new job routine, my lovely colleagues and my "new life" as a working woman really hit me hard. I miss my awesome After School Care team. I miss the kids. I miss going to work and be a part of something outside my home. A different me in a different environment. My kids are sad that they have lost school, I'm no different. I now understand the depth of their sadness cause I feel it too. <br />
<br />
I think I put the bar too high to make this forced isolation into something super productive when it actually is the perfect once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to just slow down for real. I started out on top gear, no wonder I crashed. And it is okay to feel blue. Maybe it is even a part of the process of adjusting to this new "normal".<br />
<br />
I've made myself a new schedule, more open and free but still with the frame work and routines that I love so much. I am slowing down and allowing myself to have big gaps of doing nothing in the day, no pressure. I take a nap if I want to. I work when it suits me. I take daily walks but I don't over do it. We take one day at a time. I feel good now. The blues is fading and I feel strong again. How are you? <br />

This confinement thingy is getting on my nerves a bit. And we have just started. Sigh... So, I go for walks. Daily. Long ones. Short ones. Brisk ones. Slow ones. They make me feel good. </span></span></span><br />

get out of it. It's good to mix it up so the same route never gets boring. Today I even did a walk/run. I walk 2 minutes, run 2 minutes and repeat for 30 minutes. I'm not a runner so this is my beginner schedule. It works. I come back invigorated with red cheeks feeling like a million bucks. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Weather has switched</span> to cold, cold, cold and chilly northern winds. The first thing I did this morning was putting my sports wear on to encourage myself to take that morning walk, even if the weather was bad. I hesitated, then I switched those thoughts and walked outside anyway. I'm so happy I did!<br />
<br />
Our brains are such powerful tools. I can decide if going pessimistic or optimistic. It is not easy. It needs focus and concentration every day and in every situation of doubt, but in Corona isolation I've decided to really work on switching my negative thoughts to something positive and push myself into action even though I would prefer to sink in to becoming a couch potato with hook and yarn in hand in front of some Netflix series with some comfort nibbles at hand. Instead I've decided to take that walk or run, do that dull house chore or take on a small project that's been pushed aside forever first to then deserve the time to play, which in my case would be crochet, read, have a coffee, lay a puzzle, play some cards, listen to a podcast, hang out with the kids or just have a moment to myself. That way I keep my mind clear and avoid falling into the blues.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm rambling. What I really wanted to say was a big THANK YOU and give you all a warm, fussy and loving big HUG. I'm so surprised to see so many of you still being with me in my little cyber space. I'm so so THANKFUL to still be a part of the blog community, even if my blog has been on the back burner for quite some time (years...). It feels like coming home to what it once was, a place where we can share, chat, connect through thoughts and situations similar to our own, give advice, encourage and just say a simple Hi as we sit with our coffees in front of the screen in places spread around the world. Even though we are far apart we do come together right here in my Happy Place and that feels like winning a million bucks! I read every comment, see every heart and appreciate so much you taking the time to share your thoughts and feelings in my commenting field and with emails (I've heard that commenting can be hard at times... just send me an email!). I try my best to reply to you all in my commenting field primarily and once again THANK YOU for brighten up my days by popping in and cheering me up. It's very special to know that you take that precious slice of time of your busy agendas to visit me and leave a trail. From my heart to yours - sending lots of love. Peace in - Peace out!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Crochet once saved me</span> when I was a mother of three very young children and I felt like I was loosing the grip of myself, my life, my sanity, my everything. It helped me center myself, take time to just be and have a moment. For a long time crochet was my coping activity, lessening my stress, keeping me calm and bringing me enormous joy and growing my self esteem. It helped me to find my way back to a healthy and more balanced person.<br />
<br />
Once again I find myself turning to this wonderful, forgiving and soothing craft. When the Corona virus started to overwhelm me <i>(sometime a couple of weeks ago...)</i>, unbalance me and <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2020/03/i-fear-but-i-have-hope.html" target="_blank">put fear in me</a>, I picked up a box of thrifted embroidery wool and a basket of wool and acrylic scraps and started making circles. With no idea in mind I wanted to just make something really simple, repetitive, colorful and soothing. It could have been granny squares <i>(it is still my number one!!!)</i>, but I chose circles. Maybe because the shape is round. Round is embracing. Like holding-hands-being-together-in-all-this-in-ring-of-roses... I like to think of it that way.<br />
<br />
When I can't focus, lack energy, feel overwhelmed, stressed or just need some peace of quiet, I retreat to my bench in the garden and make one circle after another. Picking the colors randomly. No rush, No design in mind, no restricted color theme, just circles. We got enough restrictions to follow already. I juts mix and match colors as a go and that in itself is pure therapy. I think I will call this blanket The Blanket Of Hope. Yeah, that feels just about right.<br />
<br />
Some of you have asked for the pattern and of course the pattern is out there in Cyber world already. The pattern goes under names such as <a href="https://justbcrafty.com/2017/04/circle-to-square-granny-square-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Circle In Square</a>, <a href="https://www.craftpassion.com/crochet-sunburst-granny-square-blanket/" target="_blank">Sunburst Granny Square</a>, <a href="https://patterncenter.com/how-to-crochet-the-starburst-granny-squares-5/" target="_blank">Starburst Granny Square</a> and they all have slight differences. <br />
<br />
I have already made a <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">Circle In Square Blanket </a>before myself (see it <a href="http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/2017/06/my-circle-in-square-crochet-blanket.html" target="_blank">here with all WiP details</a>) which now belongs to my mother. As I have had some requests, I thought I'll share my way of doing my circles with you in the next couple of days. Maybe you too want to make your own mindless, soothing and healing Blanket Of Hope to help you stay sane in all this Corona virus madness. The next upcoming days I will share what you need, measurements of blanket and squares and how to make the circle. Stay safe. Peace in - peace out!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I put on my tights and trainers</span> and go for a walk cross fields and forests around my village. The sun is out. I feel positive. <i>"Today is going to be a great day"</i> is my mantra. I'm gonna have coffee with my girlfriends soon. I can't wait. :)<br />
<br />
<i>"What do you mean have coffee with your girlfriends?"</i>, you might ask. I'm in isolation right? I sure am, but we're meeting up online. You got to be creative and come up with alternative ideas of socializing now. Internet is a fantastic resource. FaceTime, WhatsApp and iMessages are only a few apps that allows you to do video chats with multiple people. Super easy to use. <br />
<br />
When back from my walk I make my morning tea, prepare a breakfast bowl of yogurt with müsli, prep my bench in the garden and bring my breakfast outside. At 10 am I call my girls through WhatsApp. We chat for 45 minutes. About the Coronavirus, the kids, working from home, home schooling, challenges, solutions, tips and of course weather and wind, giggles and love... It is so nice. "Ching ching" with our coffee cups and tea mugs. I highly recommend this. Seeing someone on the screen is totally different from a text message. It makes all the difference in the world.<br />
<br />
My day turned out to be a very productive one. I felt so good after having coffee with my friends that I was oozing of energy. I put away all our winter clothes, organized a bit in the attic, packed away fabric scraps to donate <i>(I got soooo much scraps, anyone interested?)</i>, did some house chores, cleaned pots for replanting my geraniums, finished a work project... It feels like I've turned a corner. Tomorrow will be even better. Positive thoughts, exercise, a short To Do list and taking action. No rush, no pressure. Go with the flow. We got time. We're not going anywhere, right? <i>(Twink!)</i><br />
<br />
Hope you all are well. Stay safe. Stay occupied. Stay positive. Reach out. Make a phone call to someone who might be lonely. It might save that persons day from gloom. And don't beat yourself up if you feel overwhelme, stressed, helpless and anxious. It's okay that too. We all do. Crochet is now my go to. I'll show you what I'm up to next time. Peace in - peace out!<br />
