Knitted Painting

Well it looks like I'm making a good start with my new years resolution to blog more :) I also decided to try and knit more I really want to get better and finally make myself a cardigan or maybe a vest :) I've knitted a top before, but it was really easy and it didn't need any sleeves or anything sewing on. I just think I'm scared I'll get stuck somewhere along the pattern and then won't know how to do something and that it'll end up being unfinished.
I think I might have a go at knitting something like this I love vests like that and that way I get to try shaping. Plus I've got some yarn laying around that alone wouldn't be enough to make anything, but put together like that would be perfect.
Ooh or maybe I could knit Cathode! It's knit in the round in one piece I think so that'd be even easier! Gonna have to find my circular out though.. can't seem to find it anywhere!!

We have recently booked our tickets for our boat trip to Holland to see my family in March! We're going with a P&O boat from Hull to the Hoek van Holland which is only 30 mins away from where my parents live so it's perfect! It does take 11 hours to get there though so we'll be sleeping in a cabin (should be fun). I think it sets off at about 9pm and arrives at 8am, which seems like ages, but it's not when you're sleeping :) It'll be quite scary for Dave to drive on the right side I'm sure lol.

I'll leave you with a picture of cute lil Vi ♥

It's been an exciting, happy, emotional, beautiful, sleepless, frustrating, joyous, amazing and all in all truly brilliant year for me. 2008 was the best and I will miss it. I'm also looking forward to what is ahead though as there are some brilliant things ahead of us yet.
I can't believe it's been 8 months since I had our baby soon she'll be one already! There is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE pile of presents under the tree for her teehee I can't wait to open them with her on Thursday I'm so excited! Next year will be even better when she will be walking and talking and we will be with my family and my sister's baby will be there too! I can't wait!
I don't know if anybody still bothers reading this, but I wish you a merry Christmas full of presents yummy food and family :)
My new years resolution is that I will update my blog more often lol! I thought I was doing well doing it once a month but then I somehow lost track of doing that!
I finalllllllllllllly finished Violet's bootees btw and I am now knitting her a hat as her current (bought from Mothercare) keeps turning around and being in her face so I'm knitting her one that will fit her properly. That was also the last time I'm buying a hat for her cause I can make her a zillion for the price they charge! Plus you can make them as you or they like so it's much more personal! :D
I will post pictures of them on her asap :D Anyway I'm off to knit and regrettably watch Cliffhanger (cringe).. yes I know but HE wants to watch it so I'll tolerate it for him lol:)

!!Merry Christmas everyone!!

It's been forever since I've posted on here.. 2 months by the looks of it. Shame shame shame! I just dont have loads of time anymore. Butttt I have however started to knit last night! Hooray, I finally have a bedtime down for Vi and a routine so I can knit once it's her bedtime :) Atm I'm knitting her some booties from Baby Knits and then after I'm going to knit her a beanie with a flower on and some mittens :) I saw some at Boots the other day but they were charging £8 for it! So I thought no way, I'll knit some myself thanks!
After that I'm going to try and knit her the bear suit that's on the front cover it's so cute :) But then for when she's 6-9m so I'll have enough time to finish it lol
Oh oh we have got a car!! At last no more damn late or non appearing busses and no more steep hill to town lol! We got a 1998 Nissan Micra GX it's red and it's in an awesome state! It only had 54.000miles on it! Had to buy a new carseat for Vi though as the old one didn't fit under the seatbelt :| And we only recently found out that you can buy seatbelt extensions lol! ohwell :)
Now I shall leave you with pics of our gorgeous Vi and go read other ppls blogs and then probably go to bed lol

Wow I can't believe it's been 3 months already!.. this also means I haven't posted for 2 months lol! I hope I still have some readers =( I really do want to post more often, but I seriously don't get the chance to do more online then check facebook or myspace. Even now she's asleep in the baby carrier. At night time we have some real problems getting her to sleep in her cot. She falls asleep in her moses basket, but only after I've nursed her to sleep and even then in the middle of the night she still wakes up every 2 hours to feed... I hope she will start dropping a night feed soon.. I actually thought she would have already. We had kind of a hard time with her for a while as she seemed to have reflux, but atm she doesn't need any medicine as long as she sleeps on a wedge pillow (so she's slightly raised) we baught it from a site specialised in baby reflux =) She cried all the time and feeding her was hard aswell, but my health visitor told me that it was also because at the time she was around 6 weeks and when they're that old apperantly they cry alot for some reason they cry the most so that explained some of it. But things are starting to get better now. She smiles more and she mostly only cries when she's hungry. And we play alot more together it's so awesome to make her smile =) I can't wait till she can actually hold things on her own, she's trying to grab things alot but she can't hold on to them yet bless her.
Meanwhile I still haven't started knitting yet, but that'll have to wait until the time is right I guess =)
