In just over a week, Luke and I will be heading to Europe! Much excitement here right now. Luke is attending conferences in Germany and the Netherlands, and I’m tagging along. Then we’re heading to Iceland together for 10 days!
Of course, I’ll be hoping to get some fabric souvenirs from the trip ;P – they’re the best kind, right? So, if you happen to know of any cool fabric shops I should check out in Jena (unlikely, but you never know), Amsterdam/Leiden (probably most places in the Netherlands, really, it’s quite easy to zip about by train there) or Reykjavik, please let me know!
I have been doing some holiday preparation sewing, but it’s of a fairly boring variety – lots of merino! Leggings for Luke and I, long-sleeved tops for us both. I have about a million projects I want to start, but due to work my sewing is being done in tiny snippets here and there, and I haven’t been able to make half the things I planned!
Because I don’t like posts without pictures, here’s one of the lovely dude I’m fostering at the moment for The Lonely Miaow – Sylvester!

Jealous!! Have fun! Watch out sylvester doesn’t have a party at your place while you’re gone ;p
Haha, our next door neighbour is looking after him so I hope he doesn’t party it up 😛
Sounds like a great trip. I want to visit Iceland since like forever! I think you can better buy yarn in Iceland, but Amsterdam is great for fabric shopping. They have whole fabric markets there and the fabric is always very inexpensive. Too bad you’re going to Jena, that is too far away from where I live. Otherwise we could have met!
Have a great trip!
Ooh yes Icelandic yarn is the best! I will definitely make sure to dedicate time to fabric shopping in Amsterdam. It’s a pity we couldn’t meet – Jena seems a bit far away from most places!
Ha, Jena isn’t exactly the hub of the world 😀 But Amsterdam definitely is, at least a little! 🙂
