Goodbye

Baby Afghan: row Three

Yep, more stitching got done on the baby afghan, and I finished the third row with a cute dog and bunny.

From now on the motives are returning, but some in mirror image. I'm not going to bore you with the images again, I will put up a pic of the whole afghan next time :)


And here's a pic of little cool Jelena at the beach


Thanks for viewing (and commenting), I appreciate it!

Baby Afghan: second row

stitching
I finished the second row of the baby afghan with a little bear and a duck. If the frogs wouldn't be interfering, these would be quick finishes.

All of these designs will come back in the lower part of the afghan (but in mirror-image)

11 months
This little one turned ELEVEN months, where does time go???




Experimenting
Apparently cupcakes are THE cake right now, so I couldn't stay behind, here's my experiment with them:

Baby afghan: elephant

I've been stitching!! :-) I've got the next three squares done on the baby afghan: two hearts and a baby-elephant.



Here's another pic of my little darling who loves standing!

Happy Mother's Day

to all moms (to be) in the world.


Jelena made something for me in daycare :)






I've also been experimenting with my baking for a mother's day-cake. I've made a small biscuit and a somewhat 'normal'-sized biscuit, made two kinds of fillings (banana-mousse and strawberry-mouse) and covered the cake with marsepein (sorry, don't know the English for that one). Still a loooong way to go with the decorating, but it's a start :)

birthday card

Just a small stitchy update. I made a birthday card for someone who could use a little cheering up. At the moment I (or someone else) seem to have misplaced the pattern for the baby-afghan, all 'find-lost-item'-vibes are welcome ;-)

In between these updates, I've taken a little trip to Lourdes. It was Jelena's first big trip. We went by car, she was such a good girl!

She's really changing these last few weeks, she can now really crawl on hands and knees, althoug the other way goes faster at this moment, so she still prefers that. She's also trying to stand, and pulls herself straight on anything she can.


Last wednesday, she turned 10 months.


And here's the result of my Easter-baking. The writing on it was done with white chocolate. The result was really yummy! :)
the glacing wasn't dry yet, on the pic.

And lastly, thank you everyone who has been commenting on my blog, I appreciate them all! And welcome to the new follower(s)! :-)

Back...

A late update...

Health
We've had another round of little health-problems, I suffered about a week from a flue-like something, Jelena had an ear-infection, she passed the ear-infection to me by sneezing in my face, got an infected eye out of it (ouch!), and now we both have a cold :( So here's hoping to finally get rid of all the bugs...

Stitching
Not much stitching happened, with tiredness, bugs and bacteria, and FROGS! The frogs seem to love my new baby afghan, but by being persistent, I finally managed to get the first square done, at this rate, she'll have it just in time for her own kids!




And on request: here's a pic of the whole LK SAL


RAK'ed!
A little while ago, Meari wrote about a Tide Pin on her blog, I commented that sounded really handy, but I've never seen such a thing around here. Such a wonderfully as she is, she e-mailed me she was going to send me a Pen! Last week the package arrived, it didn't only have a Tide Pen inside, but some other wonderful goodies as wel:




And since I don't remember if I ever mentioned these on my blog (luckily I do remember e-mailing the people to thank them):
These was rak'ed by Evalina because I became her 100th follower.

stitching on clothing will be a whole new experience. I'm keeping it for when Jelena is a bit bigger :)

And this came from Lisa N


Thanks ladies!!!

Jelena has already turned 9 months, she can now go back to sitting after crawling.
