Remember me?

I've been promising these for a while now, but I kept holding off in the hopes of finishing a few more before putting them in the shop. Actually I did finish a few more, but they've been shipped off on their own little adventure, not to be seen again for a good few months. But I'll tell you more about that nearer the time.

I'm finding it a little harder than normal to blog at the moment. It's not so much that I'm not getting any work done, because I pretty much am. It's obviously not as much as I usually manage, but I'm certainly happy enough to spend a good few hours working when ever I can. And I've certainly been stocking up on fabric! But things don't really feel consistent enough to be blogging on a daily basis.

Which I think is a shame because I'm missing it and I'm missing hearing from everyone. So I'm going to try and make more of an effort to blog again. And I have a feeling that that in turn may also get me to focus more on work. Which is always a good thing.

But all of that aside, we're doing well. Lily is a source of true pleasure every day. She's got just about the biggest smile ever and uses it constantly. I remember that I always said that Bella would always rather smile than cry when she was a baby and I worried what I would do if I had a crier this time around. But there's no worries about that here. If it's possible, she smiles more than Bella did. She's also just started chatting and her sweet, sweet voice is enough to break your heart. I'm telling you, she's an absolute star and we all adore having her here. And Bella of course is loving being an older sister and is wonderful with her.

And on a completely different note, my driving lessons are going swimmingly and I'm absolutely loving it. Oh and I passed my theory test the other week, so I'm well on my way.
And Bella's ballet lessons are going really well and she's just about to start Tap too!
So we're all busy and happy and taking it all in our stride. 

Of course, some of us are also 3. But only for another 9 months. Right?

in reference to the post title:

[Mirre]

I love that last photo!
They look so cozy together!

[Jennifer]

I have my theory test tomorrow, I think I should be revising rather than reading blogs! I love the pincushions.

[qalballah]

Can you believe some BITCH stole the last pincushion right out of my cart as I was paying for it?! GAH!!

[Dawn]

If it was red that was me, I wish I was sorry but I'm not. hugs!

[Creature of Habit]

Oh my lord - I missed them. I need another one for my other pins.

I would be willing to go ruthless for that green one.

I miss your posts too! But, you certainly have your hands full. Baby chatter is outstanding. One of my nephews (Milo) was a real chatterbox, and if you even looked at him, he would grin ear to ear and "kick it out". I remember it like it was yesterday (he's 5 now).....lol....

So pretty! And I'm glad to hear about the good things happening at home. Being three can be challenging . . . but I am sure she is a delight as well.

Post some pictures of those girls!

[Jane]

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see them in the store! Manon (3) loves to collect all the pins on the floor but my tomato is so awful;-)

[Michele]

SO much better than the tomato. ;)

[Cindy Keery]

I love your pin cushions - they're so cool!

those are just too cute.

how do you manage to sew with a baby?! i'm sleepy just thinking about tiny babies.

[Ravenhill]

They sure are pretty! I just love everything you make! Glad that you have time to sew. It IS difficult to have time for everything isn't it?!
Have a lovely weekend!

So what happened to the heads up next time there were selvedge pin cushions?!!!
You forgot about me or what!
Unless of course you have made me an extra special one as a suprise for being such a great blogging buddy?! Then I might forgive you.

They are so pretty! Unfortunately, I still only have the dreaded tomato! Well done with the driving.

[Pipany]

Gorgeous pincushions and great to hear you are all doing so well. x

[SilverLining Designs]

Manda,
Your pincushions look great ~ love how you put the colours together! Have a great weekend.

[Grainne]

I have a vague memory of you, from the distant past. Love your pin cushions.

I was going to email you a quilting question a few days ago, but then thought I had just better wait until our next phone call :-)

[Kristin]

I just love all of the things that you make. I just had a peak at your shop and everything is lovely. You are such an inspiration.

[Shimmy Shake]

So lovely, you are wonderfully creative. The color schemes work great together, well done.

[Sam]

If you spent the rest of your crafting days making nothing but pin cushions I suspect you still wouldn't keep up with demand!

[qalballah]

Well Dawn, it's just not cricket. *sulks*

[sue]

Oh what a great bunch of pincushions. They all look so good and they are all gone already. Glad to hear that your family is doing so well too and that Lily is a great baby. Dont they say a hard pregnancy is a good baby, and vice versa.
