Yopping Update #29 - All done

Remember my picture from last week.  All my remaining yarn:

This is what became of it:

and I even had enough left to darn a sock:

So until I get home I am knitless.  I decided not to go look for a wool store - which is a journey in itself because I only have 4 more days here and I want to spend it with my daughter. 

She turned 30 last Tuesday and we had a bit of a party.  I brought Christmas Crackers from Canada and there was enough to go around.  You wouldn't believe what a hit these were with the Croats.  They wore their crowns for the rest of the night, laughed mightily at the jokes and were delighted with their prizes.  Next time I come I was told to bring twice as many because her Brother-in-Law wants to save one unopened as a memory keepsake. 

So there have been lots of walks:

and lots of gazing at the new grand-daughter.

I tried out the baby sling with a willing guinea pig: (stuffed dog)

and then my dear daughter tried it with the real thing:

Alas it is all coming to an end too quickly.  Neither of us slept well last night, and I have woken up quite teary this morning.  I will go for a long walk now - the rain and wind have stopped and the sun is trying to peek out.  I plan to get up early tomorrow to see the blood moon.  I am hoping for clear skies at 6am. 

My love to all my dear readers for sharing these past seven weeks.  Next time we talk I will be home.

And I am sure something will be on my needles. 

I am also certain I will be feeling sad.
