Update: We stand at 9 child sponsorships and a total of just under £2500 pledged or donated. WorldVision are fully behind us and tweeting us out, in case you were concerned as to whether we have their blessing. I have included a screenshot of this at the bottom 🙂 A few weeks ago I posted […]
Night out. All of us. Nearly.
We went to a wedding tonight, the first time we’ve all been at a social event in longer than I can remember. It was nice. I like weddings and this was a lovely one. I’m hopeless at small talk and I hate dressing up but a baby solves both those problems and at least now […]
The opposites of grief.
Woven inside and outside of everything that resides inside a busy family and bringing up a new baby and time passing by I’m aware, if less vocal, about some of the intangibles of grief. For so long I was racked and grazed by the contradictions of loss, of having a child but not having him, […]
#madblogawards close tomorrow – please vote for some fab blogs!
Tomrrow is the closing date for the MAD Blog Awards, the very last chance to vote for Patch of Puddles in the two categories you can vote for it in. I’ve just done mine. I didn’t vote for myself (at least, I don’t think I did!) but I wanted to tell you some of the […]
Furniture Village Spring Sale
We’ve got visitors coming again this weekend and as ever, seats and beds are the biggest problem. The trouble with having 6 bottoms that already need seating and sleeping in a not very big house is that there isn’t an awful lot of room for overspill… and these days the girls aren’t quite so keen […]
I have achieved nothing for a week.
All this boy does is eat…. Eat… Eat! So humour me and be impressed by these photos in lieu of the many things I would like to say… Then vote for me in the MADs (button on the right!) and say hello on the DKL blog so they think I’m doing my job 🙂 How […]
Finished it Friday: Crocheted Bag.
I wanted to have another go at something felted in Adriatic felting yarn. So far I’ve been disappointed with this wool felted though and happy with it when crocheted. Having had a book for my birthday with some east projects in it, I decided to give a simple clutch bag a go. The bag itself […]
Baby got blue eyes.
Dear Ben, Today you are 4 months old. You love to stand, you talk to us in your baby ‘ah goooooo’ language. You watch, you copy, you dribble. You feed, all day, every day With. Out. Stopping. You are huge, considering the baby you are. You are twisting and turning and trying to turn over, […]
Things I learned this week.
In no particular order other than for dramatic and needy, pimping effect. Adults don’t always get nits from their children. Sometimes they get them from somewhere else and that’s actually worse. I can’t tell you how much I hate not being able to roll my eyes and blame it on a small girl. If your […]
Right Where I Am: 2 years, 2 months.
When I joined in with this project last year, I was tottering on the brink of utter despair. I wrote my entry on the cusp month between the end of Freddie’s time and the beginning of Ben’s time. That single month that was left before I found out I was pregnant again. It was feeling […]
