With the 'palmzuil' (Palmate Column) and the Albasten sfinx (Albaster sfinx) finished, and also the border, I finished the right side of the pattern! Yay me :) Egypt might even get finished one day!

More Egypt
Egypt has grown nicely (even if I do say so myself, lol) since last time. I'm taking advantage of the last days of my pregnancy to get as much stitching in, as I can - since it will probably be a while then before I can sit down and stitch again. So here's a pic of where I am today:

The Egyptian Empire: tempel Aboe Simbel + Horus
Stitching
A week and a half ago, the doctor gave me the OK to be a bit more 'active' again, so I've been sitting up more again, and taking mini-walks. The sitting up gave me the possibility to take up the stitching of the Egyptian Empire again. Remember where I left of?
I've been working on the Temple Aboe Simbel first (the statues behind King Tut) and then the statue Horus next to it. Here's a pic of the stitched area and one of the whole work. Next on the agenda is 'palmzuil'.

Pregnancy
I've hit the 37 weeks pregnancy mark! So from now, the baby is allowed to come from the doctor, I personally hope baby stays where it is for about 2 more weeks (or 3). It's wierd, but it's like I really need those 2 weeks mentally. And I have a tour of the maternity ward planned on the 24th (second try, the first appointment couldn't go through because I was put on rest) and I really would like to be able to make that appointment, I think I'd be more relaxed through the delivery if I have that preparation. We'll see have everything goes... as long as baby is healthy!

Another biscornu
I finally managed to put together the third stitched up biscornu. This one is 39x39 in size.

This one is made from two free patterns from Miss T
Thanks everyone who's encouraged me in trying the afghan, I'm still doubting my own skills though :(, also thanks to everyone who voted :) For now Eyeore has won :)
Now I'm going to enjoy the hot weather a bit more (before it's too hot for me), since it will only last a couple of days.
