The baby wants a wee bit more inside, that's fine! We are having a relaxed long weekend (in NZ Good Friday and Easter Monday are public holidays, yay). The autumn light and colors paint everything in a golden haze, fabulous. Yesterday I finished a 'funky' cardi for Lievie, made it in just two days - after my own design (just fidgeting around really). I think things don't always need to be straight! Made it from one of my favorite NZ yarns : 12 ply Touch mohair - in one of my favorite colors : chartreuse (you know that yellowish greenish kiwi inside with mustardy effervescence sort of...). It was fast on the 6mm needles, supersoft - I only had one 100 gram skein, but it worked out wonderfully well and it is exactly the same color as a linen dress I made some time ago for Lieve. And she loves wearing it - she wore it to Cornwell park this afternoon - we -just the three of us- had a stroll and a cuddle.
Happy Easter all (enjoy the chocolate eggs!!!), perhaps we'll have our little chick after the long weekend.

You look amazing! and so is the cardy.
I recognised Cornwall park before I read it, favourite place! Ohhhh I am so sad I have decided not to come home to NZ in August, have I made the wrong decision???
Thinking of you and wishing you a safe arrival when the time comes.
good luck Lies, thinking of you :)
Lievie look so adorable in that soft natural green. I hope you're getting a bit of rest in your last days before the bub arrives, or if that bub has arrived now, that everything's going well!
Oh wow, I've only recently come across your beautiful blog and I'd say I found it at just the right time. A new baby, so exciting! I've been spying on older posts while feeding my own little one :-)
I wish you both a wonderful, safe birth (and that cardi is so lovely)!
Hi Lies,
I'm just home from my Easter break and am straight on-line to see if the wee babe has arrived???
Having had no internet access whilst away, I was thinking of you often (and also realising how addicted to your blog I am!!).
Talk soon.
