Greta opens the presents from the grandparents

… and Samuel falls asleep on my back, again and again. And the green winter

Yet another baby mittens

One evening knitting, I like this pattern so much, so this is my third pair of mittens so far. All are presents. Because these were small enough this time, my baby does not need so small mittens.
1. Totoro mittens
2. Owl mittens
3. Penguin mittens

15 g Dale garn baby wool from the rests after the Marius sweater for Greta. Who will be the lucky receiver of the mittens this time? :-)

Start the day with oats, again

And you will get a great day, again. This time the oats in form of oat cookies. With white chocolate. Mmmmmmmm. Read the recipe here.
A happy child in the morning.

And the cookies.

The morning went pretty slow, but nice. Greta is having an incredible time with her grandparents. But after lunch, we went to the town to feed the ducks, one of them even did bite Greta in the finger for being too slow with the bread. It was so many of them there.

And I received a great present today, from one of my best school-time friends. Tania is an incredible artist and architect. OMG this picture is just fabulous!

Another newborn present

There is another newborn expected in October, with unreveiled gender. Does this cute little white bonnet loke a good present?

Continuing knitting presents

This was a nice project. I learnt double knitting - two layers at the same time. Great, I think. Sorry for bad pics, really poor light tonight :) This is the cotton potholder in Blue Sky Alpacas. I followed this pattern.
This could make a great present, right?

Great time to start working on Christmas presents

Right, the time I am at home I have some time which can be used in a great way making Christmas presents. Well, sick leave had to have something good, right?

Baby mittens

Meanwhile, a couple of days ago I knitted totoro baby mittens for our neighbor's october baby. Love them! And pretty easy to knit, makes a great baby present, I think.

1. I made a birthday present to our 2-year old neighbour friend last night. I think it is cute.
2. Greta is crazy jumping on the sofa
3. Veggie dinner: asparges soup
4. Trying to calm down my daughter with a quiet game of loto.

Gaenor

Yes, yes! I finished yet another shawl. This one is called Gaenor and was much simplier to make (but bigger) than the Lazy Katy. Love it!

Hi, Kate!

We just came back from an intense but interesting trip. We visited Kate and Max in Antibes, France, then visited several small towns in the south of France, lived three days on the coast in the suburbs of Marseille, hoping to have a bath in the sea but impossible due to a stormy weather. Then we flew to Madrid and later traveled to Toledo to enjoy several days with the family and visited a friend's wedding. Then back home. I have tons of pictures, but this is not the reason of THIS post.
The reason is to thank Kate and Max for their hospitality and show off the russian doll I made for Kate's birthday :-))

The birthday girl

I completely forgot about the pictures I had from her birthday. This is in the morning, when Greta got a couple of homemade presents.

Milton doll!


And the sweater mommy made :-)

Greta's birthday party

Thanks to everybody for wonderful presents and great time together. Greta (and me, too) has many good friends!

Yay! Another present for Greta

You know, I could not give her a naked doll. So here is a dress for Milton. Looking forward for Thursday! Can´t wait to see how she likes it.
