Hello. I've moved my crafts weblog to here: Crafty Sheep.

Still a work in progress, but most things are up and running by now. I'll hope to see you there!

Oh my. I have been neglecting you a bit, haven't I. I've just been so incredibly busy!!

My daughter Nynke turned one year old February 27th (that's one year of breastfeeding, of which I'm rather proud - and we're still going strong!), my son Olivier was home from school for a week because of the springtime holidays, and I had some book edits to finish.

Also, I discovered a whole new world: needle felting! Plus I had dolls to finish, clothes to knit... I'm not completely satisfied with the way the dolls (Lina & Bram at any rate, I like Rosa, whom I made a couple of years ago) turned out. Lina's eyes are too far apart, and although Bram's eyes are better, they're just not yet the way I'd like them to be. So I need lots more practice!

And yesterday, my sister gave birth to a wonderful little girl named Mare, and I had the privilege of assisting her while she was in labour (together with the midwife and the proud father-to-be, of course!). It's so strange - I was there when she gave birth to her first as well, and at that time, I just knew I was pregnant with Nynke. Seems like such a long time ago, but it isn't, not at all!

Phew. It's been a lovely time, these last couple of weeks! :)

I'm now waiting for my husband to return home with a new IKEA closet, just for me, to store all my crafting materials! So I'll be organizing a bit this afternoon, ready for a clean start! Got to love a a husband that thinks with you. :)
