2012-02-06T07:26:00.001-08:00

Mattis, med målebånd i hånden: Mor, ryk dig lidt, jeg tænkte nemlig at din numse er lidt syg, så jeg ville lige måle den lidt.

Mattis, under en gåtur: Er det ikke rigtig, mor, at du snakker med mig, fordi jeg er din bedste ven?

2012-01-24T01:37:00.000-08:00

Efter en halv times brok over alting er så "kedeligt, jeg vil have noget sjovt" mister mor tålmodighed.

Mor: For helvede Mattis, du er i en lejlighed fyldt med legetøj, FIND SELV NOGET SJOVT.
Mattis: Men der er ikke noget sjovt. DU skal finde noget sjovt.
Mor: Der er al de ting du fik i gave!!!
Mattis: De er ikke sjove....
Mor: NÅH! Men så må vi jo bare sige du ikke får nogen gaver næste år!
Mattis, tænker lidt: Ok, mor, det kan vi godt sige. Jeg vil ikke have noget legetøj, jeg ønsker mig KUN en kæmpekææææmpestor kage næste år.

Mor: Det er et varmtvandsroer eller et koldtvandsroer. Jeg tjekker lige. (tjekker) Det er et koldtvandsroer.

I have been sewing trousers. And taking crappy pictures of it, as I couldn't find the card for my camera. When I asked M if I might take pictures of him wearing them, he started to run.

Here you can see slightly (but only slightly!) better pictures of the apple trousers:

And finally the following, to make M more waterproof :) It took about 15 minutes altogether, even though M was sitting next to me, playing with pins :o

Nevertheless, it is SO worth it. No more cold ears for my boys!

This is size "adult", and fits my 2 yo perfectly.

So far the boy likes to wear what I'm sewing. It probably helps that there are monsters on the T-shirt. I didn't make the socks though.

Summerhats

2011-04-20T00:00:00.002-07:00

The big production of summerhats has started. First of all I need to find the perfect hat, of course. I have made four so far.

This one is not bad - just too small. Should there be a hurricane during summer, you can be sure it won't fall off, erm.

The one in the background on the following picture was the first attempt, it has now the official name of stonehat, for obvious reasons. The stonehat and the one in the middle fit ok, but they kinda sit on top of the hat too much, they don't shield enough from the sun. The one on front just might be the one. A classical Elsebeth Gynther, (as is the one on the first pic) just a number bigger (52 cm - wow bigboys head is gigantic?!).

Aaaand here Uffe is showing the pretty inside of the hat.

Therefore I started sewing hats for the BigBoy. He is very interested in the sewing machine, on which he has sewn himself, and even more in the overlocker.

Yesterdays dinner was delicious!

Socks. Thats it.

2011-02-21T00:43:00.000-08:00

I've ordered some black shoes, so there is some serious danger of me looking conservative, SO I've started knitting socks to counterbalance this. TADA!

Excuser mon...

2011-02-11T13:40:00.000-08:00

... terrible pictures, but neither BigBoy nor my camera were cooperating. Also excuser mon non-existent French.

I have been sewing!

The following is my first attempt, and while it turned out way too big, the sewing part went well enough. It is the sweater I am talking about btw.

Next try was way better, only the arms being too long now. We even sent him to daycare in this outfit. Also, you can see it is friday, because he just had his friday-cookie, and therefore has a chocolate beard.

The reason for ~~the season~~ successful sewing can be seen on the following pic: An overlocker! Or serger, or whatever you call it. Yay. And no, the overlocker also didn't want me to take pictures of it...

Baby-knit

2011-02-03T03:21:00.000-08:00

I've about a gazillion almost finished objects for the baby, but I hate HATE HATE finishing, especially sewing on buttons. Here are two, more will hopefully be posted about soon.

The first one is the classic baby surprise jacket. Love it. It is knit with one skein of Zauberball, which looks great in this pattern. I did an i-cord cast-off for the first time, and while it takes a bit longer, that is one amazing cast-off!

The next one is the equally classic Ruths undertrøje. Only mod I made, was to add two inches to the length.

2011-01-02T12:24:00.000-08:00

This was the first year we had a christmas tree, and Mattis helped decorating it.

He also wanted to undecorate it - immediately afterwards. We had a small crisis then.
Shit, we had snow. And then there was more snow. And even more snow. And even...

Obviously, the only thing that really helps in this situation is gløgg. mmMmmm.

Big boy...

2010-11-30T03:04:00.000-08:00

... had his second bday \o/

This book is part of a series, highly recommendable, if you are able to ignore the wonnabepedagogic comments on the back of the books.

He also got his first scissor, which was a bigger hit than anticipated.

Obviously, a big boy needs his own keys.

I've been using the recipes from their book, and they are amazing! Basically you make a giant batch of yeast dough, put it in the refrigerator, and bake it during the following 2 weeks. This has several ingenious advantages. First and foremost, it is really quick the bake a bread when you want one, the dough is ready, just take it out of the fridge, leave it for half an hour or so, then throw it in the oven. And it is delicious!

I hate knitting gloves, but I hate cold fingers even more, so...

Hehe, awww he is so cute :D :D :D

The first few pictures were taken last weekend, on the first real autumnwalk we did with teh bebeeh.

:D

(Let me stand here and contemplate a bit.)

For some unknown reason, the baby can walk up all those steps without a problem, but his legs hurt when he has to walk up the stairs at home. Grmphh.

(mommy...)

(Rap!)

And then we totally stole this cool American trandition:

(Daddy, we forgot a bit. Here.)

(Mwuahahahaha, I look nice, but i eat bebeeeeehhsssssss)

(I'll see u again as soon as you sleep. Mwuahahahahahahaha.)

And then we were eaten by monsters approaching with The Fog.

2010-10-03T06:22:00.001-07:00

But lets start out with other pictures.

The composition is totally stolen from Jakob.

Well, at least he likes one other kid. This was the first time he really played with Lisa, instead of looking at her like some annoyance. Actually he seemed at bit in love, he couldn't stop touching her, preferably rubbing his head on her back.

(I think I can catch some fish here.)

- homeopathy. Bwuahahahahahahahaha you belive in it, bwuahahahahahaha. Well at least it doesn't hurt.

- BLW. One woman has promoted it, that woman earns money through it. Enuff said.

- People who are against the granola movement, and who are so stupid I want to hit them on their head with a hammer.
- Violence. Ahem.
- Everything else alternative medicine. If it'd work it wouldn't be alternative. Placebo != it works.
- Medicine is usually only tested on young white men. Fuck you, not good enuff.
- Men, especially male teachers, who think boys are smart and girls are hardworking.
- Men who talk too much in meetings. "I just have one short remark"
- People who don't have children and want a 1 yo to sit quiet in a corner and play with his toys. Paalease.
- Parents who think their crotchfruit should be able to express himself at all times. Fuck it, discipline that kid.

2010-02-13T02:57:00.001-08:00

I really love my Mei Tai, and use it daily to transport Mattis to and from daycare, but always in the tummy to tummy position. But LOOOK LOOOOOOK (!!!) I did it! I managed to throw him over my shoulder on my back all by myself!

(I live here now.)

I swear, this is water not ice you can see on the following picture.

And there was sun, so it was nice on the balcony.

And then there was snow...

The clothes will probably not be entirely ready to wear tomorrow methinks.

2010-01-23T04:17:00.000-08:00
