Back in my third home again..

...in Cairo that is...

yes, it starts to feel like home now.

Even our four legged baby

is content. 

Most things have found its place,

TV, internet and phones are working,

food in the fridge,

and not to mention yarn,

lots of it,

in close reach.

I have my small garden spot,

temperatures are great for being outside.

Now I just need to slow down a bit 

and enjoy it,

find some time to work

with new designs.

Just back from the states

after 2 weeks there,

I will soon head to Norway 

to see my Norwegian grandchildren,

then to the states again,

before heading back to Egypt...

In between, 

we try to visit different sights here,

in and around Cairo.

Above, the woman sitting room

in the Gayer Anderson Museum.

I could totally spend some time

by this window 

with a cup of coffee

and a knitting project in hand.

This weekend,

we had a great sightseeing trip.

and one of the sights we visited

was the "tent maker" area.

I got pleasantly surprised

over all the quilters 

who had their shops here.

Beautiful work,

and the needles were going 

as we watched.

It seamed like needlework

is an inherited art form

for several of these artists,

some of them young men.

Also this glass factory

is run by both father and son,

the son very proud of his father,

showing us a newspaper article

where he was spoken about.

I got out of there with a few wine glasses,

knowing I can get back if I need more.

 Have a nice week!
