So I just finished P’s skirt… finally. Tried to make the best of the yarn I had (really liked that color) but it doesn’t make a very long skirt…! I guess I may make another longer one with some Cotonina, and with eyelets (and i-cord or something..) around the waist so it stays where it […]

… where should I start ? Oh yeah, first, the promised pic of the beautiful placket neck pullover (from LMKG) that Yahaira knitted for M. Can you guess I am obviously IN LOVE with the color she chose…? ;-) She also sent along more yarn (hat, capelet..? we’ll see this winter) and Swarowski crystals that […]

Hey, we’re back home !! M was born on thursday, labor did take a bit longer than expected but once they broke the waters she was out in 3 contractions. She seems real calm so far, only thing is she sleeps a lot during the day, .. but has trouble finding sleep at night.. But […]

Remember how I said I had an appointment with my doctor on tuesday ? Well well ladies, turns out I’ll be induced …. tomorrow !!!!! We have to be at the clinic at 7.45 am… Ta da !! …unless she comes all by herself by then of course (I’ve had contractions all night and morning […]

if it always worked at first try. Progress is slow, but I’m getting there. The collar looks nice enough and it did motivate me to finish it, BUT I have to rip it all (already frogged the buttonhole front band this morning and nearly ended up with a major catastrophy but that’s another story) and […]

I mean, did you see that ?!!! Yeah, the swatch !!! It may not look like much at first but WOW ! This is the proof that Gedifra “Wellness” is THE perfect substitute for my “Cotonina” yarn, the one I used for all 3 Isabeau patterns (shrug, purse & totes). Lime is cotonina, and olive […]

Seems it was more of a false alert in the end. She’s still super low but hanging in there despite it all. Hope she won’t wait until due date though, as the 3 next week-ends were booked with family, friends and weddings… This week-end we drove again to my parents and celebrated the girls birthdays. […]

So we’ve tried it all this week-end, the foot massage, grocery shopping with p under the rain (!), the mini-hike, vaccuming and cooking for our friend’s visit, and then to top it off a 2.5 hr drive (on a bumpy country road!) to my parents.. I sure did have a lot of contractions, but still […]

Booh. I was getting all ready so it’s a bit frustrating now. However, I did have a few contractions again last night and she’s so very low now that I’m not losing hope. I try to keep moving as much as possible, walk, vacuum, clean up the flat ect… And we’ll try a mini-hike and […]

So, I’m supposedly only due in a full month. (june 17th). But yesterday I woke up at 5.30 half-damp with sweat and had contractions every 8-10 minutes till 6.30… Then it just so happened that I had my monthly appointment with the obstetrician that morning. And he said… huhu, yep, could be very soon !! […]
