Introducing.........PEEPS!

of course in the sewing of these, Lilli felt the need to obtain Rose and Violet went to Penny, so William, Joe and Lady are going to be auctioned off to raise more funds for flood victims.

LINK TO AUCTIONS HERE

Let me introduce William, he's a pretty shy guy, will need cuddles lots.

 

Here we have Joe, Joe is a pretty cool fellow, not much bothers him, he says he doesn't "need" cuddles, but I feel that just what he tells people hehe.

 This is Lady, shes a very kind and welcoming old soul, she has longer hair and it keeps getting in her eyes and annoying her, but she lives with it lol.

 This is Rose, a bit of a ragamuffin, keep getting into trouble with her sister Violet. she blames Violet, but we know Rose is the ring leader lol.

 This is Violet, shes a follower, not so good since her sister brings her into all kinds of trouble, but shes the smallest and looks up to Rose.

 Rose and Violet, they have been adopted by Lilli and Penny, they can't be separated, so 2 sisters for 2 sisters!

Peeps are made of quality cord, quilters cotton and embellish  materials. Safety eyes and acrylic felt make the faces and are filled with new polyfil.

Facebook, love it and loath it.....

I love Facebook, I can keep up to date with all my friends and family and keep them up to date nice and easily like. A pretty good idea, and has been celebrated worldwide as a way for people to meet and stay connected.

But facebook, you have grieved me. Why do you regard breastfeeding at a sexual thing to hide away? Why is it naughty and obscene? Are we not a society trying to promote natural motherhood?

I personally have had a rough breastfeeding journey. After 6 kids, you'd think I'd have this thing down pat, but alas no, its been a tough and trying ride. The longest is 3 months, I wish it had flourished.
Support groups are the be all for most parents. In our conformity competitive society, online support is ultimate.

I have cloth bummed my kids in the last 4 years, having a large and supportive online community to encourage me when I felt like tossing it in.  The same is to be said about breastfeeding. I would have given up way before had it not been for online support groups, and facebook, you reach many people, you have a responsibility to the world when you create this "social networking" avenue.

I really do suggest Facebook, women have the power of the gab, don't make you the thing we are winging about.

KnitMeter

lets get this stash knitted!!
I really need to take a pic of all of it, its quite stunning to drool over lol

when they are sleeping....

they are so beautiful....

6 of them...

I have 6 of them, these juvenile terrorists who have taken over my home. They are the reason I don't sleep at night, stay up worrying about their future and wonder if we do them right. 6 of them, 6 minds to help develop, 6 hearts to help grow, 6 bodies to help nourish.

A big ask for I was never the maternal type, raised by even less of a maternal type.
I look at my eldest son, I'm proud beyond what I could imagine, I look at my second son. He makes mistakes, but in the grand scheme they will be considered unimportant, and I adore the kid, I really do, he keeps me awake with worry, but I'm sure he good heart will see him through. My third son is a joy, and an amazement, I'm sure ASIO will break the door down in a few years as his computer skills are brilliant, but he is an adventurer, and his cheeky nature better not get too out of hand. the princess, a joy we never thought possible a girl in the mix of all these boys. She is a bossy ballerina, and I am constantly amazed by her, her carefree spirit Im jealous of. The last boy in the mix, the cheeky little crazy guy who has a laugh that brings the house down, he is adorable, and knows it. Then we have junior princess, wriggling in the baby carrier as I speak doesn't take much to gain everyone's attention, she is adorable and I wonder where her life will take her, how we can aid in whatever she chooses to pursue, she is a stunner and she will soon know it.

These are my children, grown from me and my husband who after many years of slapstick comedy, we are still fighting strong where others have fallen, I love them and I'd never have it any other way

ok back to writing a new knitting pattern, Ive had something in mind and now knitting it, its not turning out as I thought, but its gt my interest anyway, its different and I like it :)

need to rethink how to apply it though....
