Guess where did I spend this year Mother's day, Franciska and Lola's b-days!
In da hospital!
Yep one day I will have a story to tell to my grandkids.
Lola got E.coli and luckily her pediatrician suspected UTI from the smell of her urin. The same day (7th of may) we ended our day in da hospital with glucose infusion in Lola's hand!
The worst thing was the fact that Lola's blood vessels were bursting
so one day nurse found good vein for cannula in attempt number 4 and that would drove adult crazy, so you can imagine what was it like for Lola!
But kids can stand it all and after the first day of antibiotics she was pretty perky and ready for her lolly pop:
Also very cheerful for tossing a Care Bear:
For stealing Mum's coffee:
And eating with nothing but her tongue:
Ofcourse her granpa and his girlfriend made her hospital b-day special:
(the girl behind my FIL is not his girlfriend but his daughter)
Me? Well as you can expect I was knitting, but most of all I was feeling pretty depressed. I went through a little selfcisis that resulted with enxiety! I missed Hedera and Franciska! I missed my craft room! My computer! My home!
Did I learn something for the hospital expirience? Still don't know, but yesterday I didn't make my kids clean the table after they finished luch I was so f
. happy I could do it and not being in the hospital!
I think I need more time to become old-me again!
Lola? Boy, she is sooo happy to be home and we even didn't panic when she took a knife in her hand to "cut" some petit flowers!

(I am not gonna be bad blogger again! I am not gonna be bad blogger again! I am not gonna be bad blogger again!)
Still no words from kindergarten! Even hubby said today Lola was oh so ready for kindergarten! Well if it's to believe my sources I can only hope for open place in june! JUNE!!!!!!! Seems so long to wait for!
(I am not gonna be bad blogger again! I am not gonna be bad blogger again! I am not gonna be bad blogger again!)
And while I am waiting the Internet baby shop I am working for asked if I can knit/crochet rattle.
Ofcourse I can, piece of cake! well, at least I thought at beggining because sometimes (ok, most oft he time) my mouth are faster than my mind!
In my head I have a vision to start with something easy
but my employer bought pretty big bell to put in rattle:
so the top of the rattle is quite unproportional to the bottom.
Also the bell is not the propet stuffing for the rattle because rattle rattles not bells! (I am feeling super smart right now!). And I went surching for something not knowing what (still super smart).
Went to a shop where you can find everything
and I've found it simple, small, plastic, hollow nine-pin!!!!!!!!! Put some rise in, glue gunned it and
Well, it was supposed to be mushroom, but since I misscalculated
it became Spots and linesrattle.
Third time's charm - people say perfectly worked for me, cause last night I've finaly got mushroom rattle!
(I am not gonna be bad blogger again! I am not gonna be bad blogger again! I am not gonna be bad blogger again!)
Right now I am collecting Kinder surprise eggs, since they are almost perfect for my rattles. So far only three (and guess what are my girls gonna get for the Easter!)

(terrible)2 - (terrible)10 - 4(coloures hat)
Over a year (even more than a year ago) I enrolled Lola in local kindergarten for september of 2011! But lately I'm wondering where has left heartless me who sent her preious kids in kindergarten the moment they turned 1!
I softened! A lot!
And since my reputation can't come in doubt I called kindergarten to inform them I was ready to let Lola in kindergarten!
So
right now I waiting!
Ring, phone dearest, ring!
But, honestly, Lola is aproaching terrible 2!
Lola learned more than well how to start crying the moment I refuse to give her something!
Lately she is so nagging and pretty annoying (what? Mommy dearest prise is mine again?)
All in all I really am kind of pearson who more than anything loves herself!
Boy, I'm back in track!!!!!!!!! Yoohoo for an old me, myself and I!
And as much as I can blab and complain about Lola let me tell you it's nothing compare to my Terrible 10 AKA Hedera!!!!!!!
One word puberty!
WAKE ME WHEN IT'S OVER!
Finaly something creative knitting!
Last week I got an recquest to knit a hat according to a pic. Plain stocking hat but with self-striping yarn! Pastel pink/cream coloureway. Pretty lovely, but I couldn't find exact yarn to buy!
So I digged the stash and decided to go with 4 skeins:
I had an idea to randomly change coloures and with every new yarn to do several slipped stitches!
Had to trust my word it worked but I couldn't have got decent pic oft hat process!
And since I went with uneven stripes and random slipped sts I decided to decrease top unevenly, ofcourse!
I like it that way.
Off to new projects, happy blogging people!

After numerous bunnies (crocheted and knitted) someone asked for a doll! Doll taller than bunnies.
I started vrowsing Ravelry's free patterns and discovered that it was too damn hard to find something decent (decent as something granny would give to her granddaughter)!
But didn't give up and two days after I've found it Amigurumi doll pattern by Stitch! (I was always thinking that amigurumis were small, tiny creatures that made you swear more than usual - and this one is big, but still made me swear a lot).
Aside from crocheting that took three days main problem was stuffing. See, the quality and expencive one was sold out and I had to buy not so super dooper replacement! DAMN!
And I don't like to make things with nothing but great metarial!
Well, at the end I managed to stuff it but I had to do it hard so basically you could easily kill someone by smacking him/her with the doll!
And like it wasn't enough Franciska's godmother noticed that this doll is so Tim Burton creature!
Well she is totally right! Tim Burton-ish doll it is!

Hungry hoodie that didn't wanna be finished!
I always try to calculate how many days I could use for some project and when client asks when it could be done I simply add few days extra since you never know what can happen (plus 3 very active kids).
Most of the time I manage to complete project sooner
but every bloody year I get stucked with several projects that simply don't wanna be finished! Believe me!
Remember black hoodie in making? No? Well click on the link! Now? Good!
See that simly, shapeless hoodie drove me crazy!
WHY?
First of all it ate more than 600g of wool and according to the label it shouldn't! I blame it on Unitas since their policy to put the same label on all of wool blended skeins is terrifying sometimes!
Luckily I bought 900g of it to knit an overall pants along
but now I'm not sure if baby vest could be knitted!
When yarn lenght shock was over another one struck me time! I am fast hand knitter and I am proud of that fact
so when I cast on for baby item I'm not in a doubt it will be done fast!
But this coat!!!!!!!! OMG! Like I was knitting for my eldest!
And that was enough nagging for tonight!
Lola is modeling and only way to force make her do it was to put candies in (afterthought) pockets!

glad I wasn't like my almost BIL (sis' hubby")! He refused to take Franciska to swimm class (though Hana, my niece went there also he (or my sis) was supposed to take them on Monday, me on Wednesday and Friday) because I am SAHM and I have all the time in my world (his words, not mine)!
That made F very sad as much as me, hubby, niece and my sis specialy( since she is really someone I can rely on!)
But people are strange, and since we (sis and me) have someone among family sooooo mentally close to almost BIL we wern't much supprised! We are used to!
also hooked on E-bay latelly! So far I won twice, bought also twice and now I ordered some vintage dresses for my b-day! (also hooked on vintage damn!)
turning into Bunny maker (Ravelry link), happy blogging people! Ever since my friend from collage ordered Honey Bunny for her niece
I can't remember how much I knitted so far!
Some Bunnies I didn't even take a pic of!
But, I took for the last 4.
Bunny Misha (went with black set from previous post) also the first white Bunny:
Bunny Tessa for newly born girl:
Bunny Iris the first one without white fold on dress:
Bunny Leonora:
Logical question is am I bored with Bunnies? Well I am, in a way
but I learned how to make my knitting easier. First now I knit it in round, believe or not (only seaming legs). Second: I start with dress, ears, arms and panties
and knit body at the end. Somehow the body is fastest to finish!
And next bunny will have pepito dress with crochet trim must make it more interesting for me!

I was watching Take That performing KIDZ on Brit's opening when out of blue lightening struck me I fell in love with their black double breasted coats!!!!!!!
WANNA KNIT ME ONE!!!!!!! BLACK!
I can't remember last time I wished something in black! But I can remember the first black thing I put on stockings and I can still remeber I felt like everyone was staring at me back then! And yet at that time I had rocking legs and they probably were staring! I was 16 then.
Also the very first time I was all in black was (also at the age of 16) when I had to go to piano class feeling totally crappy since previous lesson went so wrong and Professor yelled at me (belive me he had all the reasons for that I was lazy bitch). I was away from my family then and was in dormitory and only half an hour before piano class I fell down the stairs!
Boy, those were the times!
What I wanted to say is black was never my coloure ever! NEVER!!!!!!
I don't stop my kids from having black in their wardrobe but I'm encouraging them to try all the coloures, specialy bright ones!
So, when someone order something in black from me to knit automatically I think of someone at least my age.
But times are changing, happy blogging people,'cause last few black knitwears I did were for kids!
Somewhere before X-mas I got and order for black hat/scarf/gloves set to be part ofelementary school uniform (UK)!
Hat(stockinette) and scarf (garter) set (on niece Hana):
Grand flower with contrasting fimo button as detail on hat:
And gloves (my very first with fingers):
(flower just for the shooting)
Guess what right now I am working on black hoodie for 2yo! His granny wanted this coloure:
White lines will be afterthought pockets. I'm doing this in one piece, bottom up, and I am so close to sleeve open. And this hoodie with me buttonless only something I don't know the name. Wish me luck to find it (very similar to frog fasteners)!
