I finished the second layer of plaster today. Next we are going to detach the radiator from the wall and drill in screws there (into the drywall) and plaster that. THEN, Fredrik will start sanding. And after that, we will finally be ready to continue to the next step. :)
I really wanted to have a short bookcase to put in the room, for baby books and toys. We were going to get something cheap from IKEA (the cheapest thing we could find) - but when we were at the summer house a few weekends ago visiting with Fredrik's parents, he asked if we could steal a short bookcase from there. And farmor gladly agreed. :) Fredrik's grandfather made it (morfar) many, many years ago from sugar boxes. So we will just sand it and repaint it and it will be passed on to another generation. :)
And I was supposed to share pictures of the blanket that I'm making:
Fredrik and I picked this yarn out while we were on one of our trips to Estonia. (They have really, really cheap yarn there!) I didn't have the correct amount of yarn per color to complete the book pattern - so I took the main.. idea of the pattern and made my own pattern! It is a little too narrow, I wish I had made it wider, but I will continue in length until the yarn runs out. But the narrowness will make it good to tuck Karl-Astrid into the carseat. :)
I like it, though. :) I think it is purdy. :))
And of course, to close with a picture of Mr. Kitties sleeping:
