And I keep workin while waiting for the baby...


Hi everyone...

Only 3 more weeks for the estimated due date of my baby... I honestly can't wait for her to be born... And while I'm waiting I'm trying to do as much as I can, although I'm accepting that unless she decides to stay in for longer, the chances for me to actually finish the birth sampler before she's born are very slim... But I'm trying to have as much done as possible anyway....

So since my last post, I've finished the booties, and started the matching hat, and have stitched a bit more on the sampler, you can now see the outline of the bear and the toys...

Sorry for the poor quality of the pic on the birth sampler... I promise my next photo will be much better, and there will be much more to see :))

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Stitches

Still around... Busy :))

Hi everyone, 

Didn't notice it has been nearly a month since my last update... Time is definitely flying by lately, and to prove it there's only 6 more weeks for my baby's expected due date.... And still so many things planned to do.... 

So I've still been busy with my knitting and cross-stitch (although not much of the latest to be honest, I have to correct that if I want the birth sampler done in time)....

And this is what I've done so far, And I can now say that I only have 3 official WIPs (2 knitting and 1 cross-stitching) the booties (1 missing) the blanket (half-done) and the birth sampler (20% done)... My plan for the rest of my "free time" (before baby arrives) is to work as much as I can each day on the birth sampler - my back is now starting to hurt after spending sometime doing cross-stitch; knit the blanket if there's still time in the day, and I can no longer stitch, and the booties are my carry along project, for when I'm waiting for the routine appointments at the maternity, and the train...

Now the interesting part... The photos :)

Progress :)

Hi everyone,

So I thought it was time to share a progress picture of my birth sampler... I thought I hadn't stitched much, but looking at my previous post I actually did more than what I thought so I'm a happy camper :) I also knitted the beanie to go with the dress and I've started to knit a cross-over cardigan in pink (pictures of this last one will be on my next post hopefully as for now is just a bunch of "weird" pieces)... 

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for the visit. :)

Fresh start

Hi everyone,

Do you still remember me? I know it's been nearly an year since I've updated my blog... But 2014 ended up being a roller coaster year... Emotionally wise I hit the top and the bottom so ended up ignoring everything for a really long time, as there was no crafty mojo at all, it only came back by the end of 2014 beginning of 2015... 

So the major event for this year and what made me return to the craft world, is that I'm going to be mum (my baby girl is due by the end of April, beginning of May) so I'm now keeping myself busy knitting for her and I'm stitching her birth sampler...  I want to have as much done as possible, as after she's here I know I won't have any time... 

This also means that from now on, not only will you be seeing not only my stitch progresses, but also my knitting ones... Maybe this might mean more posts in the near future.... But I don't want to make any plan... As every time I did, something came along to ruin them...

So and to start my return in a proper way, here are the pic is of everything I did so far :)
