The house

View from our house this morning... just wish I had a better camera and better photographic skills so I can do some justice to our place...

Plunket pattern - 8 Bibfront trousers

This is for Jean-

I have made overalls for Fran with fleece lining to keep her nice and warm during our walks, specially now that it is getting a bit colder.

Decided to use one of the plunket patterns that Jean let me borrow, number 8 Bibfront trousers with some modifications so my little one could fit it. Here are some pictures, please note that I am not the best photographer.... but hope you get the idea...

Eyelet vest from Debbie Bliss

Finally, finally managed to finish this project (it was finished the day before my b-day, in between moving houses, packing and unpacking, and cleaning, etc).

I bought some beautiful handspun wool - pumkin spice- to make a little vest for Francisca. I went for the "Eyelet Vest" from Debbi Bliss: Special Knits book. I love the book it has beautiful projects.

I am happy with the result, the only sad thing is that she won't fit it for very long. The pattern says for 6 to 12 months, my little one is 5 1/2 months, but she is a big baby... :-( never mind, she will be wearing it every day from now until it doesn't fit anymore hahaha...

My B-day again: April 5th

Yep, you can't avoid them. They come every year. At some point in your life they are very exciting, and at some point you just don't want them to arrive. Yes, birthdays. They seems to come so fast these days:-).
We had a very nice day, with a very nice cake, some very nice conversation.

April the 5th vino y se fue

By far my best b-day present

The move

The move starts today. This morning we get the keys for the new place- a little rental house at Lake Okareka. It is very exciting!!! It seems that it was yesterday when we decided to sell our house and now it is sold. It didn't take very long, despite the fact of being a private sell. We move this weekend and the new owner get the keys on Friday next week. It is a bit sad, I really like this place nice size section and all my plants in the garden, well some of them will come with me to the new place...

The one thing I am not really looking forward is to the next move, once we finally find the house we want to buy. It is better to give ourselves time to find a place we really like rather than buying just any house.

The big question now it how are my babies going to handle the move? Francisca and Pepa, I think Francisca should be fine but no so sure about Pepa, we will see!!!!

....And time goes by....

Here we are on Chrismas Day having a picnic at Lake Tarawera, this little one has been busy growing... on this photograph Francisca is 2 months and five days!  Can't believe how quickly times goes by.... incredible
