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

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!)

LK-SAL: january

Finally a cross-stitch update! Time just flies by and my cross-stitch just lies there :(, but now I managed to complete January of the LK-SAL from the CSL-group

I didn't have the suggested fabric for it, just used what I have: 18 ct Aïda champagne color.
I stitched without buttons or beads, might add them later, when I find something that fits.


2 months old!
Unbelievable that she's already 2 months and a few days old! She's growing so fast, the newborn clothes are making place for '3-months' clothes. My maternity-leave is almost over, yikes! Luckily I still have my holiday-time saved up, so I can stay home for 4 more weeks.

Yesterday I got a big surprise in the mail! The mailman rang the doorbell and had a package in his hand, I hadn't ordered anything though! Then I saw the sticker of airmail on the package and the name Debbie B., I recognised the name as a member of the ILCSgroup. Inside I found a nice card, and two very cute and beautiful outfits!


and here's another piccie of the cutie that's going to be wearing them :)


Princesje would like some attention too, so she got a new haircut :)

Egypt: the promised pic

The Egyptian Empire by Maria Van Scharrenburg got started on 01/01/2009 and finished on 18/07/2010, so I've been working on it for a longtime. I'm so happy (and proud) to have it finished. Especially the backstitches were a challenge. Egypt is a cross-stitch kit from Lanarte.
Finished size: 47x56 cm
Stitched on 27ct evenweave




And because I'm a proud mommy, some pics of my cute daughter :)

A big finish!

I've been saying for about a month that Egypt was ALMOST finished, almost to my frustration, lol, but since yesterday, I can say, it's FINISHED! A pic will follow as soon as it's cleaned up a bit and ironed.

Can't believe my daughter is already 3 weeks old, and boy does she have a strong grip, she really seems to enjoy pulling my hair! I guess it will be ponytails from now on for me :) When she's on her belly, she can push up enough and lift her head and turn it from one side to the other.
