Sailboat cardigan!

Another cardigan finished for my grandson. This was so much fun to make. I knitted the cardigan from the pattern I used previously and then embroidered the sailboat by hand.
It is the last one I will be making in size - up to 6 months - and will be concentrating on the next size up.

I am off to the UK next weekend to meet the little boy in question for the first time and will be taking this with me.

This week is a blur of preparation - packing and jobs that need to be completed before the trip. I am so excited at the thought of seeing him and my daughter and cannot wait to hold him at last.

Doll's House Netherlands Show. April 2013.

I had a wonderful time at the doll's house show on Saturday. There were so many stalls to look at. It took us 2 hours to walk around and I could have gone back to some stalls twice but we could not walk another step.

My aim this time was to buy mainly dishes and anything else that caught my eye.

Many of the stall holders from October were there. My favourite stall owned by Gaby Jansen was my first stop. She has bargain baskets on her table and I managed to buy a couple of rocking horses for 1 euro each from her. Other stalls were asking 6 euros for rocking horses so I was delighted with my find. Unfortunately she does not have a website. She lives here in The Netherlands.

It was a doll's house miniature's delight and I cannot wait for the next one in October.
