You always feel such a sense of marvel when you realize that just a few generations ago, your husband might’ve come home from the hospital alone. Very, very grateful for what we have and for modern medicine.

@Rhythm, I would also love to hear any of your meal ideas on this thread http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/whats-for-tea-today-mum !

Thank you for the warm welcome! We do get a lot of interesting fabric here. I will try to post information on any interesting stuff I come across. In fact added a picture in the flickr pool yesterday of an onstage tutu skirt in ivory net fabric with brasso work – beautiful fabric!

Welcome, and what a charming photo of your family. I hope our India members will write about the types of local fabrics and supplies they use, it would be fascinating!

Oh, will you post a link?

I made Beatrix a sweet little baby bonnet from a free pattern from Purl Soho. One hour sewing and it is divine.
