A four-leaf clover, a new toque, an invalid phone number, some funny dreams and so on...(in no particular order either)

I went to the library yesterday as I received an E-Mail notification that a book I reserved had come in. It was about felting - so that made my day (any English literature is very exciting for me these days - especially at the grocery store).
While there I got a text from Tim saying that he was in the cafe in the bottom floor of the library with Taneli and his son, Sulevi.
Once my book was checked out I went to join them and Sulevi was quite excited to see me. Everybody in the cafe now knows my name - LOL.

After a visit I decided to mosey on over to Poppeli where I found some beautiful blue yarn....it's wool and it's the same kind as my brown flower/slouchy hat - but blue. I only needed 2.5 balls to make a snug toque - which my ears are thankful for. A couple nights ago when I went walking with the dogs - my brown slouchy hat was letting in too much cold air. I finished the blue hat with a bit of an orange trim - the same colored yarn from my paternal-twin mittens.

Yesterday I didn't have any internet whatsoever - so I apologize for the delay in updating my blogs properly.
The night before last I had the oddest dream. The mothers that are reading this - know what I mean. I had dreams before that I was having a boy - just one or two and it involved getting peed on and the frustrating task of not being able to put a clean diaper on, as he kept ripping it off in all of his pride and glory. Well this dream was different. I had a girl (and no there aren't any twins in there!!)and breast feeding didn't hurt whatsoever (sorry guys if you're reading this). I find this interesting because it's my first dream that I had a girl, yet my second dream about breast feeding a baby not hurting.
Now according to a friend of mine who recently had her baby - she found it quite difficult. In fact many of them did and only one or two had actually said it worked for them right away. Time will tell I suppose.

Oh and yes I did call the nurse at the Neuvola (the public maternity service behind my building) - and she gave me an invalid phone number. ARGH.
Baby's still moving and grooving - so I'm thinking I'll be carrying full term - not overly worried in all honesty.

Ah the 4 leaf clover - before I forget. I got a book from the library a couple of weeks ago called "The Love Letter" by Cathleen Schine...I chose this book because I saw a brighter colored book called, "The New Yorkers" by the same author and there were all these rave reviews about the first title. So I happened to snag them both in hopes for some enjoyment when I'm sharing my laptop with the husband. Well The Love Letter is a little bland but keeping me on my toes thus far (only in the 3rd chapter or so) - so I'll try and stick with it.
Anyhow - I was reading on the couch while waiting for the chicken/veggie/rice soup to finish cooking when I flipped to the next page and voila - there was a flattened 4 leaf clover. It's taken sanctuary in one of the un-used cubicles of the massive book shelf we have in the living room. I find this exciting because growing up we had clovers grow in the back yard - but they all had 3 leaves.
So I'm hoping that with the dreams I've had lately about having a boy (and/or a girl - no preference - I don't think...) and breast feeding will be easy and then finding this 4 leaf clover -is a sign. Wishful thinking - I know.

Well time for me to get cracking on some gifts for Tim's birthday. He's turning the big 3-2 and I need to finish felting his card and start making more cards while I have the motivation and the peace and quiet (dogs are asleep on the bed)!

I'll let you know how the reindeer tastes later.
