That would be me! I have wanted to blog multiple times since my last blog but I have been sidetracked by a nasty flu, work, and now a congested head cold since last weekend. We have also stopped packing and gave up on finding a decent place since we should probably buy our next home instead of renting with the crazy prizes here in the Lower Mainland. But where to buy, we don't know. I think that with baby bean's birth on the horizon, moving is just crazy which was stressing us both out a lot, and I can't afford to be stressed right now. So we are going to improve our place a little bit instead. Baby Bean can stay with us for the first few months and then we will see what to do. So I unpacked some of my stitching supplies and have been working on my WIP's while sick. It helps with the stress!
I had one finish this year so far! Woohoo!! It's BBD's freebie Souvenir de Paris I stitched for a colleague who will be retiring this year. It will be placed in scrapbook so I didn't need to finish it into anything. I used GAST Blue Jay, a divine blue, and a scrap of linen I found.
I personalized it with her initials and the year of her retirement. I hope she likes it!
After pulling out my stitching supplies from boxes, which was a silly thing to do, I grabbed Knotgarden and stitched on it all yesterday and the night before.
The corner is complete except for the beading and fancy stitches which I'm going to leave out so they don't get squished by the qsnaps. I highly doubt this will get finished in the next year with Baby Bean's imminent arrival.
Sarah Chapple had got a lot of love from me the past month or so. She's such a beautiful sampler to work on. I can't wait for her to be finished!
The border with all the honeysuckle flowers will take quite awhile to do. It's such a unique design that is very ornate. Stay tuned!
The Bitter Flower Sampler by Birds of a Feather is nearly complete. It's been fun stitching it on weekdays as it's easy to hold in my hand and I can speed along as I wind down from work.
I've made two bunting triangles, with a third in progress for Baby Bean. They are fun to make and I think I'll make 4-6 more of them.
The Granny stripe has been growing too. Hubby says I need to get it done so we can have at least one finished blanket this year.
I feel like a bad mother who has made nothing for Bean yet! So I found these adorable booties online that looked fairly simple to crochet. I'm going to give it a fair shot in the next few weeks and see if I can make them.
Aren't they adorable?! Teeny tiny baby shoes always fills me with delight! I'm going to make them in white and maybe grey too. At least Bean will have stylish feet!
I'll leave with a few photos from my walk yesterday. I had to get out although I was very tired and the walk wore me out. I really hope this cold goes away and that I don't get another one for awhile. I'm sick of being sick!!!
Oh, can't forget about Titus!! He's such a big suck. I wonder how he will be when Bean comes. Hubby says we can't ignore Titus but I don't know. I know that Bean's first few months will be attached to me so how much can of myself can I give to all the babies in the house, hubby included.
Take care and thank you all for taking the time to read through this post. I have been a bad commenter as well but I do peak around to everyone's blogs early in the morning as I wake up. My comments wouldn't make sense that early so I have been refraining for a reason. I hope to take some time during spring break to do some visiting. Hugs to you all!!
