My my my

Soooo many things have happened since my last post... Multiple projects done, lots of them already given away without taking a picture first... of course (I have to mend my ways.... sigh...)! I promise though to take pictures of projects which stayed with us; knitting, sewing (my first little skirt!! :) I was so proud of myself!), crochet, cooking, baking....

The pregnancy is going well but I have to say that it's been harder this time around... quite a bit of body aches.... meh... no diabetes though which is great news :). I've also been quite tired and tend to loose patience quicker... re-meh... Luckily my wonderful husband is still putting up with me :) !

My belly is now so big that my feet are a distant memory, my t-shirts do their best to cover it all but unfortunately it's a lost battle for a couple of them... and I still have two months to go... huh...

Meanwhile, little lady is growing up ooh so fast, talking more and more and in both french and english. It's funny though how she says certain things in french and some others in english; for example, she points at her elbow and proudly says elbow and then points at her nose and says ''nez''. I guess she's going for the easiest one of the two to say. Funny thing, she says ''papa'' and turns to daddy if he doesn't answer quickly enough... isn't it adorable?! She also turned out to be quite the little adventurer who wants to climb everything (including my belly, yes it's that big!)) everywhere all the time. She is a blast and I adore her! I can't wait to see her with the little one soon coming! :)



En joy your day!

Onesie embroidery

Coucou to you!!! one of my latest projects! I'm new to satin stitch so I guess for a first try it's ok... Still place for improvement though!!! Enjoy your day! :)

Yeti

I present to you my new dear friend; Avalanche... or Conrad not quite sure yet. What do you think?

Enjoy your day! :)

I'm baaaaaaaaaaad! I know... I have been keeping up with my new year resolution though... well sort of... You see, a couple of days after my last post, I have had some pretty exciting news! A big project on the way!! I'm expecting again!!!!!!Wouhou!!! Thirteen weeks done and everything is good. Bob (we don't want to know the sex before the birth but still need a name until then!) is doing fine and keeps moving :). I'm barely out of my first trimester and I am the size of a beluga... When they say the belly comes out faster the second time around I can tell you it's true! Let's just say that my next posts should be baby related! Baby bonanza craft projects ahead!

As promised, here are pictures of my projects so far. Sorry for the low-quality pictures, I'm working on it!
Enjoy your day!

New year resolution!

Good day to all!
I (like many others) have made a new year resolution... and I very well intend to keep it! This year, I must (I can't stress this enough) create a project every week no matter what. It can be big or small, time consuming or not, basically, it can be anything, it just needs to be! So far, so good! I already have 2 done projects and one more on the way! I am pretty proud of myself! :)

Pictures to come!

What a rebel I've been!! I have to say for my defense though that I didn't have my camera which for me is the equivalent of a slow death... Not being able to take pictures of my little lady for a whole month? Come on!! I have been a busy bee though! Lots of baking which was brutally stopped in July by an atrocious heat wave (by Quebec standards anyway!) . I even had to leave my much loved apartment for five days to go to my air conditioned parents' house! So, these little hands have been crocheting a baby ripple blanket as shown by Lucy from the attic. The instructions are really easy to follow even for a newbie like me :) .

Going well but unfortunately will have to be put aside... Baby madness is coming soon... What is baby madness you say? It's my sister as well as my two sisters-in-law expecting (one is having twins!). So, let the knitting frenzy begin!!!!! Four baby hats, cocoons, four pairs of booties and bibs... Add to that little stuffies for all of them! Phew! busy times ahead!

I did have a bit of time in the past two weeks to sew four of these cute elephants from the book More softies only a mother could love.

Got to go back to knitting!
Have a lovely day! :)

NOTE; Young lady's elephant was lost yesterday at the grocery store... unable to find... hope it made its finder happy! :)

Six months!!

Yesterday, little lady turned 6 months! Half a year!!! I have been a mama for half a year!! I still can't believe it! She is growing so much and sooo fast!!!!

*Wow, that's a lot of exclamation points...!

Have a wonderful day!

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm baking!!

For the past couple of weeks, I've had an obsession... I have been baking like my life depended on it! Alex has been pretty happy about it I have to say, just like people at his work and my family (especially my brother) but this is getting out of control! I literally cannot stop myself! This morning, little lady and I made some scrumptious chocolatey squares... 45 minutes later, half of it was gone! No, I didn't eat it all, it went straight to Alex's work (thank god, save me from myself!).


In an effort to curb my dependence, I have decided to learn how to crochet with the help of the Chicks with Sticks. So far, not a great success, but I might be able to make something worth showing at some point!

Have a lovely day!

Finished project

Killer bunny!!!!!!!!



*Tested (sorry, tasted!) by little lady!

Have a great day!
