Cool and Interesting

Two days after I finished my corporate job, and with it no longer enjoy a corporate salary, the stockmarket crashed, and the guy who caused it still has a few years to go on with his destruction. So before I start buying yet more cool and interesting raw materials, I’ll start by actually using up the “Oh I need to have that material to make the perfect blue sweater” kind of things that have accumulated in my cupboards over the decades. And before starting new projects, maybe finish a few, especially those that take up a lot of space.

So here goes: a Dutch-sized extra-large duvet brought back from Holland. Making it match the covers we already have and using the extra pockets of down to refill a tired duvet.

But wait, is this really the best thing to do? If this duvet is meant to go with my son when he moves into an apartment in September … wouldn’t he want the longer, wider one?

However, the ikea duvetcover is 20 cm too short … 2m and the duvet is 2.2m. Yep, the dutch ikea sells 200*200cm covers. And 60*70cm pillow cases. What to do?

I could use one pillowcase to lengthen the duvet, and turn the other pillowcase into two smaller ones … Is this the best use of my time?

It’s like a puzzle …

The sighting of a snake brought me into the garden, where I realized what a wonderful spring day it is.
