Pre-school

For the entire mummy’s out there.

What means when you’re starting to put your kids name in every little thing?

It means they are going to pre-school!

Nicole started today, and I think I was more nervous than her.
She was all dressed, and waiting with the bag in her hands at 6 am. This morning!
Yes she was much exited to go.

Suddenly the house is a little bit quiet; I still have my other little girl with me.

Waiting for the afternoon...

Planning

I’ve got a lot of things planned for this year. More things that the 365 days of the year. Ops, I just missed 2 days!


I’ve started planning the presents for the entire year, birthdays, especial days and Christmas. Yes this year I would like to give a lot more, than the previous year. I had so many plans for the past Christmas, but I didn’t even made half of the things that I was supposed to do!


I just join SAM5, only until July, to make a pair of socks every month. But I have so many patterns that I like, that I don’t know where to begin, and also thinking of the yarn available in my stash.


Ok, Nicole’s coat is going. I’m not very worried with finishing, because here the summer is really hot, only some wind, hehehe, some wind of 50km per hour! That wind generally only comes at night, so we are indoors. So, no worry about that.


The rag rug is also going, found 3 more T-shirts with holes; I promise that I didn’t make them. I’m only waiting for a little bit of patience to take photos of how I cut the piece and the rest, during the day, so that MSL in Portugal can see. She was very excited about the rug.


And for now, I made a cozy for my phone.

No pattern, just cast on, made a rib, then made some stripes, in available colors and cast off like the feet of a sock.

I used my favorite yarn, Pure Gold DK.
And this is it!

Happy New Year to everyone.

Faster than a speeding bullet…

Another FO!
See Jayne, I did it! Thank you for your support.

This is a sock from a group in Ravelry. Barcelona from Mona Schmidt.

I’m really making some progress here, only one day for the end of the year and two WIP down.
Well, you know, got to go again!

Faster than a speed light...

I’ve been making an effort to finish all my UFO before the end of the year.
This is one of many, many in queue…


This pattern was taken from a shawl.

But since I only had 2 balls of this yarn, I decided to do a scarf. Very happy with the result, and the yarn is just fantastic.

It is from Sirdar, silky look. And this is the first and the last time that I will probably see this yarn, the shop where I got it, went on sale from night to day and closes the doors! Yes, good things always tend to disappear…

Got to go to my next project.

I must be losing my mind!

So this is the deal. I had some problems with the presents this year! Made a lot less that the ones that I was thinking, and the people that get them, wasn’t that happy about, I didn’t heard the ahhh, ohhh!


Next year I am going to give handmade things again. So I must start to plan them now, so I can do them big, so they can do a AHHH, and a OHH!


I just join in the Ravelry a group to do presents for Christmas the all year long. But I didn’t think it was enough, so I join a blog too, and then in a blog from a joiner from that blog made a post about two other Yahoo groups… This and this.


You may be confused now, but I was also confused then, so don’t worry :)
MG, I’m in so many groups now that probably I would pass more time posting and reading mails, then making things for Christmas!


But at the end I think it is going to be a good incentive to go.
So to who is interested go and check the links. There are a lot of ideas, good ones, and a lot of people tracking your work also! You may not go out of the track.
I think this is the first post without photos!


Sorry about that, I really don’t like to post whit out photos so here is something that I’m working now.

A rag rug got to find more damaged t-shirts to make the rag. If not let me take out some and then I will tell that they had a little hole! Where? There can you see it!

Ta-ta.

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas!
