    @roundtheworldgirl, I know a neighbour who was determined her number three would be the last and did exactly the same thing. Because she doesn’t sew she had the purchase everything when her surpise number 4 (and only son) came along. You can’t go wrong with the layette pattern but I would use number 16 kams if you were going to use them as they…[Read more]

    I started off with cross stitch too! I had heaps of books and patterns that I would work with. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I cross stitched a heap of Jemima Puddleduck pictures and made it into a quilt – we are now using it for Chloe.

    I love stumpwork and other forms of raised embroidery. I also love smocking (well I think many of…[Read more]

    Thank you Fiona, you are a darling!

    @cybele727 kindness is my middle name! To others but not to myself – sounds like such a martyr I know but it is how I work myself is second always.

    We are hopefully getting new air con put in tomorrow – if they have the right…[Read more]

    Oh Brittney, sounds like the preteen thing has struck at your house. My daughter was just like that starting from about 9 and my son is starting to become rather opinionated about what he wears – he feels like he is in prison with certain stripe combinations!

    I think its a good thing to include them in the planning process. More of a chance they…[Read more]

    Thankyou Jenny for your support and for sharing your story, i don’t feel so alone now. But I am still going to research and have good long conversations with obstetricians and specialists to get the absolute bottom line of the whole thing. Having them tell me the God’s honest truth of what can and will likely happen will help me to let go (if I…[Read more]

    We all choose to do things in our own individual way Sarvi! They are necessary items that take five minutes to make so its not as if I am breaking any unwritten rule or anything. I’d rather be comfortable and not have unsightly wet patches on my clothes!

    Besides, my baby is two weeks old and the last time I sewed was Boxing Day. And I consider…[Read more]

    Thanks @beachmom.

    @KarenK I had to be grateful also due to the realisation of my own mortality and fertility. No one wants to leave their babies behind and no one wants the decision to be made for them.

    @cybele727 how did you work through it all? I mean I know that this nearly happened to me even though the doctor didn’t actually say but you can…[Read more]

    Popped baby girl down for a sleep and managed to cut out a small supply of nursing pads. I managed to finish two pairs before she woke up! So nice against the skin and I can now get rid of the rediculous bought ones!

    Phew! Home less than a week and back sewing! What an accomplishment.
