LK SAL: finished

I finished the last stamp on Sunday, so I'm done with the LK-SAL. The group started a new LK-SAL, but I've opted not to do this one, since I still have so many projects to do, although it is with a little regret, as I've really come to like the Lizzie Kate designs!



In the meantime, I seem to be catching all the bugs out there, hardly recovered from one cold, and I (and unfortunately Jelena too) have the next one! Luckily it's allmost spring!

I bouhgt a Baby Afgan at a fair, a good week ago, came home, realised it was one of the choices I'd selected last year at 123-stitch (but didn't buy at that time due to circumstances), and that even with the sending-cost from America, it would still have saved me 10 euro's, it was not such a good day :-( Now of course, I have to get started on the Afghan, so Jelena won't have outgrown it by the time I've finished!
Jelena is still mostly 'dragging' (snake-like) over the floor (fast!). She does put herself on hands and knees sometimes, but doesn't quite get it yet. She's also almost putting herself in sit-position from lying down.

get out of my way, coming through!

solving cross-word puzzles!

LK SAL: two for one

hi there

Yesterday, I was too lasy to go pick up the cable to transfer the pics to the computer, but in the meantime I finished not one stamp but two of the LK-SAL, so now only december is left to stitch.

Look at her go ...
My little baby is growing soooo fast, she turned 8 (EIGHT!) months old yesterday. I just can't believe where the time went. My little baby girl has two teeth by now, can sit of you put her that way (until she's distracted and falls sideways), andddddd she's moving! Not 'crawling' yet, but she's going forward and fast! Nothing is safe anymore, and the words 'no, don't do that', have made their entry in our household.



Thank you for taking the time to read this post!
Comments are loved and appreciated :)

LK-SAL: 3/4 done!

Hi all,

I finished another stamp! Now, be honest, you didn't expect one so fast did you ;)


Now, I need to clean up in the house a bit (blush), and then on to the next one!

And just because, here is another pic (or two) of Jelena :)

LK-SAL: August

Stitching update
yes, I finally have another update! You thought I'd be quicker from now on, didn't you! :-) But no, stitching-mojo left me hanging, probably scared off by my tiredness.
So I begged for him to return, so I could at least finish one little LK-stamp this month, and look...! I did it, not without lots of visits from the frogs, but none the less, it's done, finished, all stitched up!


I hope stitching-mojo will stay around this time, because I really would like to stitch up the next months a bit quicker!


New stash!
I treated myself to some new stash (but please don't ask me when I'll ever be able to stitch it)

Jelena
Can you believe she's 7 months already!? She likes to hold big converstations now, they go like this: dadadadadaiiidaidaidaikaallalaprrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpffft One time she had to have al talk at 2 AM :-)
The poor darling is getting her first tooth, she's drooling, biting, and in pain :-(
She really loves her vegetables now, eats everything she's served, lets hope it stays that way!
A week and a half I also started giving her fruit, she likes it! :-) Apple, pear and banana so far.

I'm still trying to get the remaining pregnancy-kilos off, I can fit most of my clothes again (even if some are a bit too tight), but I still get remarks from some people about my figure :-(


In Memorian

Rene, you will never be forgotten!

Merry Christmas

Jelena and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!





vegetable time!
Since Jelena is turning six months old (young), it's time to start with vegetables. It wasn't a big succes yet, ah well, she'll learn with time I guess.



Christmas baking
I've been baking ...


LK SAL
I finished the next one in line: June
On the July...



all pics are clickable

LK SAL: May

My wish came true, I finished May a LOT faster than april :) But boy, am I tired!

Here's a piccie (click to enlarge)




by the way: Mel is having a 200 followers give-away, go check it out!

LK SAL: april

Having a little girl that prefers to spend the evenings in mummy's arms is not productive for mummy's stitching, so even this little pattern took me more than a month! (schock!!)
But I finally managed to finish the April stamp.



Hopefully I'll get May done a bit faster!

LK SAL: march

I finally finished the next one in the LK SAL: March. The others are about done with october, but we won't think about that!
Here's a piccie:


On other news, Jelena is now almost 4 months (only one week to go), she can now roll from tummy to back, she 'talks' and laughs, just a joy to watch and hear. The formulae-milk did not go so well, I had to change it a couple of times, I hope I now have the right one, because it's just awfull to see her in such pain from the cramps :(

LK-SAL: february

LK-SAL
Soooo, we're almost a month later ... and I finally finished another piece of my LK-SAL. Since I didn't have any inspiration on how to finish these stamps (and since I can't sew, there aren't that many things I can make), I decided to make one big piece.

Proud mummy!
Can't believe she's now almost 3 (three!) months old, where did those weeks go?? She's now at the stage of making funny sounds (prrr, wawa, hé), and putting everything in her mouth.

Unfortunately, I have only one more week of vacation-time and then it's back to work (but luckily I start on half days), so I'll have to start her on powder-milk (keeping fingers crossed the transition goes smoothly!)
