Indy!

I've sent off the things I was making for Heiða. Sent the parcel off yesterday, she should get it around mid next week I hope. She's going to get me a pair of boots in return, these to be exact. Then we also ordered the Indiana Jones collection, with all the Indiana Jones movies.

Since I've finished Heiða's knitting I've started something for myself. Got wool yesterday, for two items, vest and a skirt and it only cost around three thousands. That's not bad.

I'm taking the girls to the farm after their judo practice today. We're going to make laufabrauð and Kristín Lára says she's going to feed the lambs some hay. We're probably staying over night, it'll be good practice for the girls since they'll be staying there with their grandparents next weekend.

Laundry room - progress

We've put the cabinets up and tidied up the laundry room. But we still have a lot of work to do there, arrange the washing machine and tumble drier and then make the shelves where the washing machine is now.

More knitting

I'm still knitting a lot. Now I'm working on a vest for my friend Heiða and another friend of mine has asked for one. Then I might make one for myself! It's made of wool and looks pretty cool I think. I may finish it today - or I may not. I've also made a jumper for Bob, I think it's ready now, I laid it to dry yesterday morning and I think it should be dry now. I'm really enjoying this :)

Laundry room

We're working on the laundry room now, right now it's a horrible mess, like this, but hopefully we can put up the top last cabinet today. Then we can put the stuff that was in there back in and it will then look a bit better. Then we are going to move the washing machine up against the freezer, put the tumble drier on top of it and then make a cabinet next to that and get a new work surface. So far we haven't bought any wood or anything, just used what we had, until yesterday, we got some chip board to make that cabinet and we will need new work surface. We'll probably get that from IKEA, we'll sort that out today.

Toothless tinker

Sólveig Lilja has lost two of her baby teeth already, the first one a few weeks ago and the second one on Friday. And the first two of her adult molars are coming up. She's growing up, our little girl. She's changed a lot as well, she's always been a bit cheeky and sometimes quite naughty but now she's changed into a very good little girl, she's very protective of her sister, looks after her and takes care of her and she tries to make sure no one is left out. She's still no angel but she's changed.

Kristín Lára however is still a little bully towards her sister, but like she said the other day, she is trying to do better.
