Hippo girl for a sweet, unlucky girl

Yesterday my dear niece Emma broke her arm, while playing at school - unfortunately so bad that she had to go through surgery...I feel so sorry for her.

I thought that she might feel the need for an extra little friend, so I made her this dotty hippopotamus....

I bought her a whole lot of candy too and I know Emil will make Emma a welcome home Makronsiand cake when she returns home from hospital....

Andreas

We all had a wonderful day yesterday, when this beautiful young man was confirmated in the historical Cathedral......

It was a day full of happiness, lots of fun, georgeous food and heartwarming experiences. My sister and her husband had made such nice surroundings - with beauty and lots of love for their boy and his guests.

From left: My children Emil & Anne-Sophie. In front my sister's boy Andreas, behind him my niece Emma, my niece Ida and Ida's boyfriend Runi....

I find it hard to believe that Andreas is at this point in life already......Congratulations, dear Andreas!

I just love Lucinda!!

I have been waiting for this book for quite a while now. I ordered it at Amazon for at least 1 ½ month ago and has been - patiently - waiting...
Lucinda Guy is the designer of the childrens' clothes in the book and her husband has illustrated it with the most georgeous drawings....
The new book is called "Crochet designs for girls + boys". There are so many adorable designs in it, which make my urge to improve my croheting skills even bigger!! Who wouldn't love to have an elephant like Henri??? Or a sweet stripey top like this one?? Lucinda has written 3 books before this one - you can find them all in my shelfari bookshelf at the bottom of the side.

I will have another look at the book while Otto is sleeping on - and warming - my feet!
