I definiteyl love the result. Such a great colour!<br />Your crocheted stars look wonderful. I once collected patterns of crocheted snowflakes in order to crochet them by dozens and then decorate for Christmas, but somehow I never got to it. Maybe next year.<br />Wishing you a Happy New Year!Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133044979734305165.post-55510259519452001732011-01-01T20:28:09.730-08:002011-01-01T20:28:09.730-08:00Gorgeous dyeing, Berit!

I'm too scared to dye my linen, it's way to expensive in the UK to risk ruining the fabric (which is what I'd do if how successfully I dye my hair is anything to go by!)<br />I love your crochet stars and love the garland idea. But I definitely like the sound of the feather tree. I love the maribou feather ornaments I have on my tree. In fact, I even had a maribou feather trim on my wedding dress...feather fetish...moi???<br />I wish you lived a little closer so you can teach me how to crochet. My nanna tried to teach me years ago, but gave up on account of me being left handed.<br />As you mentioned that 2011 is the year of the rabbit I looked up the virtues of a 'rabbit' given that our new baby with be a little bunny! Apparently, 'People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious' great so far...'They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog' hmmm, not so good, I'm a dragon, Tom's a monkey and Iris is a rat! Oh dear,there are going to be some fun times ahead in our household!!!<br />Happy new year to you and Marc.

Best wishes to you in the coming year.
Re...Berit,<br /><br />Best wishes to you in the coming year.<br /><br />Relationships are incredibly complicated, but I think when we are happy with our own lives that that can make it somewhat easier. <br /><br />Thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment.Juliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095833707592086712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133044979734305165.post-51387293561262029912010-12-31T06:21:31.041-08:002010-12-31T06:21:31.041-08:00Sorry you're having Linen Drama.

I think yours looks great, though!<br /><br />I don't know what the answer is to the passive aggressive thing. I have a close relative who is passive aggressive, another one who is bluntly direct, and both have caused much drama in the family. I have tried to be honest with things that hurt me and it caused much drama. Now I try to keep my mouth shut but will say immediately if something bothers me to the point that I can't ignore it. It's never easy, is it?!<br /><br />Love the crochet stars! I saw some crocheted popcorn garland on a tree one time--I'd love to try my hand at that sometime!<br /><br />Wishing you a very happy new year.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133044979734305165.post-26760477641627338842010-12-30T23:02:14.554-08:002010-12-30T23:02:14.554-08:00OMG, Berit...you don't even realize how happy ...OMG, Berit...you don't even realize how happy you just made me but saying 2011 is the year of the rabbit!

My feelings get hurt very easily but I always remind myself that most of the time people aren't trying to hurt my feelings. And many times people have misinterpreted what I've said and I've unknowingly hurt them. Even at my age I learn lessons every day.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535676864036169816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133044979734305165.post-74442576149781793902010-12-30T16:30:39.795-08:002010-12-30T16:30:39.795-08:00So sorry for all of the linen drama!
