Laundry hamper = wool hamper!

-

EN

I have had a wonderful Friday, Saturday and Sunday last week full with food, shopping spree’s and meeting up with friends and I can’t wait to blog about it!

At one of the shopping spree's I’ve boughtthis laundry hamper from Primark but not for dirty laundry purpose!
It’s a cute looking handy hamper with floral prints and I thought it would be an amazing container for my ball of wools and yarns!

Before that I store all my wools and yarns in baskets but over the time of years of collecting and buying lots of yarns and wools, it is slowly but surly overflowing my tiny teeny baskets.
I could have bought another basket but I thought a hamper like this one is a better solution: it’s spacious, covers, convenient and light weighted! Very ergonomic you see!
And it blends well in the living room!

The only regret is that I only bought one.

Afgelopen week had ik een geweldige vrijdag, zaterdag en zondag gehad met lekker eten, winkelen en bijkomen met vriendinnetjes en kan niet wachten om er over te bloggen!

En tijdens een van mijn winkeltripje kocht ik deze wasmand van de Primark, maar niet voor de vuile was als doeleinde.
Het is een schattige, handige wasmand met bloemenprints en ik vond het erg geschikt voor het bewaren van mijn bolletjes garen en wollen!

Voorheen bewaar al mijn wol en garen in rieten manden, maar over de jaren heen van het verzamelen en kopen van wol en garen overstroomde het langzaam maar zeker de rieten manden. Ik kon natuurlijk een nieuwe rieten mand aanschaven maar een wasmand leek mij beter en vernieuwend: lekker ruim, overdekt, handig en licht van gewicht! Ergonomisch dus!
En het past perfect in de woonkamer!

De enige spijt is dat ik maar 1 wasmand heb gekocht.

    Wat een geweldig idee je wol in deze 'wasmand' te bewaren! Hij staat enorm gezellig in de kamer zo. :) Liefs

    That's actually so smart! I have heaps of fabrics laying around that I've now got stored in an ugly shoebox, so I'll definitely pay a visit to Primark to see if they have any more. Though it probably won't fit in my room, lol.

    Such a creative way to store your yarn! At first I thought it was for dirty laundry, and I was going to say that I needed to get one for mine as well :P Nice socks too, hehe~

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break.

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
