It felt like I was back in college on a field-trip, looking at the city. I definitely had my 'landscape architecture' hat on. There's just something about European cities! Mies Van De Roh pavillion:
DH was in Barcelona this past week for work, so as my parents kindly offered to look after the kids I flew over on Thursday evening and spent a few days there too. A few tourist-y images:

I've had this pattern typed up for months now, but just haven't gotten around to publishing it. The final animal for the time being in the Mini Jungle Animals series - Mini Monkey Have fun knitting!
Finished! I didn't have the book, just the free printout from the internet, so didn't know how to do the mitered border. Was planning on doing an i-cord border but got too tired and just crocheted a little white border around the edge instead. Now someone just needs to have a boy!
Emily has a 4-year-old party to attend this afternoon, so there was a flurry of sewing over the last 2 days. I used the Little Miss Storybook doll from 'Wee Wonderfuls-24 Toys to Sew and Love' as a base for the doll, stole the dress from Katie Kitty to make her a removable dress, and added my only little pair of shorts/knickers. Hopefully the birthday girl likes her!
I've been knitting this blanket on-and-off for the last 3 weeks or so, the Moderne Baby Blanket . It started off really quickly because of the small sections but has really slowed down now. That may also be because I keep having to take breaks to make other things. And I need to get it finished quick as I need to make christmas ornaments and toys for the upcoming markets!
