Our wedding in a few pictures...

As I promise to do last year, better late than never... a few pictures of our perfect wedding !

What I'm knitting right now

Hello,
not much to say these day...too busy with the new schedule of work. I am back to work since 2 full weeks and it's a whole world of adaptation for baby and me. She's now going full time to daycare and it's been a bit of stress for me. I was worried about her being there for such long period of time and 4 to 5 days a week but she surprised me well. She's doing giant step in her development while watching other kiddos and she's doing well. She's really tired at the end of the day and need time to relax at home, but we all do after a day out of home.

The bigger downstep of being back to work is having less me time and time to knit ! At least I have bigger pay check and will be able to buy some yarn in the future... :-) which is always good news.

Meanwhile I am still knitting two projects :

first a very boring black ribs sweater for my husband that he wanted for so long... umm I said it before but it's boring !

and a very pretty and soft shawl/scarf made of pure silk which is a joy to knit

let's just call it balance.

From a time to another

Recently just after we found out that it's a little princess in my belly, my mom went totally crazy (lol I love you mom!!!) and went shopping for a whole lot of baby clothing and she washed everything and then delivered it to me...

In the bag there was a cute pink sweater... hand made for me by a friend of my mom back in 1983 before my birth !!!

Now I imagine my own daughter wearing it next Fall in my arms at the cottage, and I have tears in my eyes... my own mom  kept it for those 26 past years. She moved 3 times, she did not know if I ever had a daughter myself neither but she care to keep it.

Thanks mommy, I'll try to be as good as you were, you are and will be as a mom. I love you

Happy New Year !!!

Hey ! Happy new year 2009 to everyone !!! 2008 has been fabulous and I hope that 2009 will be better for me and all of you fellow readers :)

2008 was the 400th anniversary of my city : Quebec and it was a blast having so much activities and event, I wish it could be the same every year but 400 th years is once in a lifetime event... Even if I did not participate a lot, I enjoyed watching most of the biggest event on TV like Sir Paul McCartney, Celine Dion and some other. We are very lucky to have such a big event and now Quebec is somewhere for most of people since we had a lot of media covering.

My 2 favorites event in 2008 are : the new year in Dubai with all the fireworks...umm sweet memories...

and the return of my BF after 99 days away in Algeria !!! (sunset in Algeria)

For sure I appreciate the trip in Spain... so let say it's my top 3 events in 2008 :)

In knitting, my faves are on Lady Eleanor (see this link for the FO post) and

my Green Gable (see this link for the FO post)

I wish for myself I will have more time to knit in 2009 and plenty of FO to show you all around the year. Also I would like to be more consistent and finish faster what I start before starting 12 other projects...
