Baby Afghan: FINISHED

Happy dancing right now, I finished the stitching part of the baby-afghan. Now on to the real finishing (which may take some time, no acces to the necessary materials right now).
Pic of the stitching will follow (I was just so happy to have finished the stitching, I couldn't wait until I have the pic up and running to post about it!).

Baby Afghan: the final sprint

Baby Afghan: status update
Not yet the news I had hoped for, but since it had been quite a while since I've been able to get a stitch in (Jelena's birthday-party took much prep time), not surprising. But this weekend, I was finally able to get the afghan back out from under the dust it was gathering :-) I've finished another square this evening, now it's just ONE MORE left. I HOPE to get it finished this weekend (well, the stitching anyway, who knows when the actual finishing will be done). And since the weather is really autumn-like, she could really use it!

Party-time
Unfortunately, not that many pics too share, since my photographer of service (my brother) gave up after only a couple of pics :-( (apparently, there was a problem with the memory-card), boohoo! Luckily, someone else was happily taking pics, so maybe I'll be able to share some pics later.
It was a great day, my cakes looked and tasted good, so good they all asked if I had really made them myself (YES, I did!). Here's a pic of me coming with the big birthday-cake.

There was some others next to this big cake, but no piccies :(

And just to make you hungry, some pics of other cakes made for other occasions
