I am thinking basket, mat, bag... no, too thick for a bag. I think basket will be best, maybe something&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; to store some yarn or spinning fiber in. This is the yarn:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0-mNl7vYg5k/Tdt_P-YZ4FI/AAAAAAAAAVw/FPhPh6xjCr4/s200/DSC04583.JPG" style="float:left;

Ik heb zo'n 20 pakjes koolaid gebruikt, de streng woog droog ongeveer 440 gram en had een hoop nodig voor een warme kleur. De hele keuken ruikt naar kersen, sinasappel en druiven. Ik had zomaar een streng uit mijn voorraad getrokken, bleek een beetje strak vast te zijn gebonden dus ook wat witte vlekjes, weer wat geleerd, even wat losser opbinden de volgende keer.&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;I like the orange hands, why would you wear gloves when dyeing, hahhaha. I used about 20 packets of Koolaid, the skein weighed about 440 grams and needed quite a bit for a warm color. The whole kitchen smells of cherry's, orange and grape. I just plucked a skein of wool out of my stash, turned out it had been tied a bit tight so some white spots, learn something new every time, next time I will bind it looser.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; Maar de streng is toch erg mooi geworden vind ik zelf, zie hier:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;But the skein turned out really nice I think, see here:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-j-VFMlDDI/AAAAAAAAALg/FKpdCD5sZa0/s1600/DSC03602.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-j-VFMlDDI/AAAAAAAAALg/FKpdCD5sZa0/s320/DSC03602.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469901385567112242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-j-UwskTSI/AAAAAAAAALY/4vUebGHowt4/s1600/DSC03601.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-j-UwskTSI/AAAAAAAAALY/4vUebGHowt4/s320/DSC03601.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469901380064136482" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885339776213496601-8594788813317687590?l=rachelfiber.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachelfiber.blogspot.com/feeds/8594788813317687590/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885339776213496601&amp;postID=8594788813317687590' title='3 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885339776213496601/posts/default/8594788813317687590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885339776213496601/posts/default/8594788813317687590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachelfiber.blogspot.com/2010/05/fruithapje.html' title='Fruithapje??

Ik heb een 'hok' achter in de uitbouw, wat altijd meer opslag dan werkruimte is geweest, maar ik wil toch echt een keer een mooi atelier. Ben al flink aan het reorganiseren geweest, heb mooie bergkasten en ladekasten en heb alle kasten op de goede plek staan. Nu probeer ik echt alles in de handen te hebben en te kiezen of ik het ga gebruiken of niet. Alles dat ik weg doe gaat of naar vrienden en de rest naar de BSO, die kunnen altijd materiaal gebruiken voor het knutselen.&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;The project I am focusing on at the moment is creating a good work space. I have a 'shed' type space at the back of the house, that has always been more of a storage space than a work space, but I would really like a proper studio some day. I have done a lot of reorganizing already, have good shelving and cabinets set up in the right place. Now I am trying to sift through everything and choosing whether or not to keep it, whether I will ever use it or not. Everything I am not keeping will go to friends or my son's after school play center, they can always use craft materials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Before :&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-f5PKR5pcI/AAAAAAAAAKw/f8XXISjRwXs/s320/DSC03092.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469614311317546434" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dit laat de linker kant wel aardig zien, een en al chaos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;This shows the left side pretty much, utter chaos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;En dit is rechts, niet veel beter:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;And the right side is not much better:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-f6BquUzYI/AAAAAAAAAK4/S-SART8gEo0/s320/dsc02495.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469615179020160386" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885339776213496601-361492244926831940?l=rachelfiber.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachelfiber.blogspot.com/feeds/361492244926831940/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885339776213496601&amp;postID=361492244926831940' title='2 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885339776213496601/posts/default/361492244926831940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885339776213496601/posts/default/361492244926831940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachelfiber.blogspot.com/2010/05/van-hok-tot-atelier.html' title='Van Hok tot Atelier / Shed to Studio'/><author><name>FiberRachel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14960162424461753345</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/SNs7Q0_7REI/AAAAAAAAABQ/G8z73Cn6KFQ/S220/dsc01847.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FM89V2_m4Mw/S-f5PKR5pcI/AAAAAAAAAKw/f8XXISjRwXs/s72-c/DSC03092.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885339776213496601.post-915514001312631688</id><published>2010-05-06T05:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-12T09:14:16.978-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Blog dan toch ! Go on, Blog !!</title><content type='html'>Een blog, ik denk er wel eens over, heb het een keer geprobeerd, welgeteld 1 dag, maar goed, het wilde niet. Gisteren begon een vriendin een blog, en toen dacht ik, kijk dat moet ik misschien nu doen.&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;A blog, I had thought about it before, tried once, only 1 day though, but it just wouldn't work. Yesterday a friend of mine started a blog and I thought, that might be the way to go for me at the moment.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Ik loop als een kip zonder kop rond, wil van alles en begin ook van alles maar maak niet alles af. Heb een hoop dingen te doen waar ik geen zin in heb en moet soms dagen huilen op de bank. Misschien is het houden van een  blog wel hetgeen ik nu moet doen om mijn leven opnieuw in te gaan richten en het verleden een plek te geven. Ik val mensen niet lastig met het moeten praten over van alles, ze kunnen zelf kiezen of ze dit lezen of niet, en als niemand het leest is het ook goed. Maar ik kan wel ongebreideld mijn ei kwijt en wie weet leidt het ook nog tot iets.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;I walk around in a daze, want to do every thing and start all kinds of things but don't get anything finished much. There are a lot of things I have to do I don't feel like, and some times I spend days crying on the couch. Maybe keeping a blog is a to start reorganizing my life and work through the past. I don't bother people with talking about things I worry about, they can choose whether to read this or not, and if nobody reads it, it's fine too. But I can get rid of my thoughts and it just might lead to something too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Om te  beginnen toch maar de aanleiding van mijn huidige frustratie en verdriet, hier een rap (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L07zdsjSss0&amp;amp;playnext_from=TL&amp;amp;videos=-V-YVdChoNA"&gt;RIP Sylvian&lt;/a&gt;) geschreven door een paar kameraden van mijn zoon Sylvian, die november vorig jaar een eind maakte aan zijn leven.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;To start with I might as well tell you about the reason for my current frustration and sadness, here is a rap (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L07zdsjSss0&amp;amp;playnext_from=TL&amp;amp;videos=-V-YVdChoNA"&gt;RIP Sylvian&lt;/a&gt;) that was written by a few friends of my son Sylvian, who committed suicide last year. It is in Dutch, but here is a global translation:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;The text in English:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;RIP Sylvian, I hope you found your peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now you are a star, en you will shine forever&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will never forget you, Mate, you're mine&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The pain is unbearable, feel the emptiness, the missing&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I still can't understand that my friend is no longer there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We've done many things, something to cherish in hindsight&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Music was you and Mate, we felt it&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You made the beats in an hour or two&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Captain, I know that you know that I won't ever forget you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rest in peace&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Master D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope that you found peace,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hope for happiness in heaven, that you may be content&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We love you and I speak for many&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You have a place in my life forever&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This expression is for you and all your survivors&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can't believe it friend, I keep thinking of you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Captain, take it easy my friend&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I know that one day we will see each other again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Master D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I still can't understand, but I hope you found your peace,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My tears say it all as you go on the way back&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I miss you man, I miss the creativity&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Miss the times we could laugh about something small together&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In my thoughts you will be with me, I will never forget you&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Through music the memory will stay alive&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And you know, you showed me how it could be&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because you, you shaped my vision and perfected rhymes&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tyco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You, you were honesty, you were sincere&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You were enthusiastic and always game for something cool&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You brought your own vision and didn't expect anything in return&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You loved playing with drums at any moment&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your own world, that your share but also cherished&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is why I will cherish you when later  I think back to the past&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wish you well, I hope you found your peace&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Spread your love in heaven and I truly miss you (Sylvian)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tyco&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885339776213496601-915514001312631688?l=rachelfiber.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rachelfiber.blogspot.com/feeds/915514001312631688/comments/default' title='Reacties plaatsen'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7885339776213496601&amp;postID=915514001312631688' title='5 reacties'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885339776213496601/posts/default/915514001312631688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885339776213496601/posts/default/915514001312631688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rachelfiber.blogspot.com/2010/05/een-blog-ik-denk-er-wel-eens-over-heb.html' title='Blog dan toch !
