Finally a FO!

Actually, finally is not the correct word. I have finished my Drops jacket almost 2 months ago and since I noticed that maybe this wasn’t such a good model for me I lost motivation for finishing it. Instead, as you read, I decided to work on my waistline ;)

Than, somehow I felt strange having all the components and not finishing it, so a couple of weeks ago I did the final touch. And here it is. It still looks awful on me that’s why I am not posting any photos of me actually wearing it. But I have a friend who is very skinny and she loves it. Together with Estonian buttons.

Since I have some Eskimo wool left, I was thinking about what could I make out of it. Definitely not anything for me. Though I was tempted with these two boleros from garnstudio website:

The lucky winner is Tamara who will get this cute jacket:

As I have pointed out numerous times there are loads of things that change after having a baby.

One of those things is your body. It simply isn’t the way it used to be. It doesn’t behave like it used to. It doesn’t look like before. Sometimes I felt like it wasn’t my body at all. It was somehow alienated from me.

Now that I got over that phase and I can wear the before-pregnancy clothes . I will go back to work in a couple of days and I have these horrible cravings for sweets and generally any food loaded with carbohydrates. And to make things even worse, I even attended two cooking courses. The last one was previous Friday where I learned how to make struklji, traditional Slovene dish. It can be prepared either salty or sweet, depends ofn the type of filling you choose to make.

Today, I made my first struklji (swee of course, with cottage cheese filling) and we ate them at 21.30. Hmmmmm. Maybe I’ll just eat veggies tomorrow?
