Presents

Thank you all for being so supporting with my new niece! She's doing very well now. She's eating much, much better! Now she askes for food and earlier on she didn't, and kept sleeping. And if she ate, you had to push it in. But not anymore! She's doing great now!


I made some small handmade presents. I was still working on them when my sister called that Olivia was taken to the hospital and asked me if I wanted to come and help, so I didn't have much time. I already made her a bunting which I had with me the last time. And then the birth came, so I hung them up on Saterday morning. And forgot to take a picture.


Then I made a personal cushion. I made those before and off course Olivia had to have one too. I don't think the combination of the fabrics are chosen very well... That could have been better. But then again, it's oke! Then I crocheted a tiny winter hat. Just a small, plain but thick white hat with a large pompom on it.

Present three is a small beaded key chain with Olivia's name on it. That's for my sister. She loved that one! So I'm going to search for some bigger beads with letters to make a soothercord with.

And the fourth present isn't something I made but what I've ordered.. I can't show you now because I couldn't give it yet. It was delivered at my home while I was with my sister. And I know they read my blog (and all your reactions, they love) so I'll show you when I have given it.

So this was a week... I won't forget very soon. I'm pretty exhausted right now. My life already was in a rollercoaster and now it feels like the speed is up and there are more loops to handle. You know, I'm 32 and seeing all babies being born around me isn't always easy. It confronts me with myself too. Being single, recovering from a burnout and focussing on what to do with my future, workwise is a whole different fase. And not a fase that's easy, or you want to be in. And I know, it takes time and every life goes as it goes but sometimes I would wish things were more easy. And different as they are now.

Oh, and thank you for all the great responses on my World AIDS day action. I'm working on the stars and I'm almost done with all the sets. So I can post them this week. So everyone who ordered a set... I'll mail you all this week!! As you hopefully can imagine I didn't do any mail last week. And because I wasn't at home or on my job, I need to work on that before I get to the 'nice stuff'.

  1. Wat een leuke kadootjes, zo schattig dat mutsje met die bol er bovenop!
    Gelukkig gaat het nu weer beter met Olivia! Ik weet uit ervaring dat het heel erg schrikken is als ze niet goed willen drinken en veel afvallen (gelukkig hoefden wij niet toen naar het ziekenhuis!). Ze zijn dan nog maar zo klein en kwetsbaar! Fijn dat ze nu weer goed drinkt! En wat kan je dan blij zijn als ze het aankleedkussen onder plassen he :-)
