Knitted distraction

Well, More knitting will let you know that the baby is not here. The OBGYN said that it's fine for now and has booked an appointment on Monday afternoon if I don't give birth over the weekend, so we'll see.

Of course, knitting has been a welcome distraction from life at the moment, which has meant I have finished another project. I can't do much else.

These are the felted slippers, they need another round in the washing machine, but they are working out perfectly, thankfully I don't need them yet (it's not cold enough at all).

I also made my sister some slippers. It was the Drops crochet slippers in Eskimo, of course, I didn't use Eskimo. and I changed the flower for one that was a bit larger and more extravagant.


The pattern is exceptionally easy and very quick to make. I am already on a second pair for my mother.

It's going to be a quiet day in for us today I think (provided the baby doesn't show). The funeral was at 6am for us, we hope it's gone well, we'll be able to talk to family later.

Bittersweet Life

This morning we recieved the sad news that my Father in Law finally lost his long battle with cancer, and died peacefully in his sleep. While we are glad that he doesn't have the pain anymore, we were hoping that the Little Late One would arrive before we had to say goodbye to his Grampa. It's not the case though and we're going to miss him terribly.


We were lucky enough to have lots of time with him and he was able to come all the way to Romania last year to spend 3 months with us before we got married. We know he was overjoyed to have been at the wedding and moreso when he heard about the baby.



Today was his birthday, He turned 75. Happy Birthday Dad, we're thinking of you.
