Odds-n-Ends

Well, I broke down.  I signed up for a sewing class.  I was going to try knitting, but I really, really want to be able to make a few things that we could use around here.  As super-granola as it sounds, I have aspirations of making my own cloth menstrual pads to use post-partum.  They are really expensive to buy and I figured it really can't be all that hard to do - the pattern seems simple enough...though I have said that sooooo many times before and ended up pulling out chunks of my hair in frustration.  I have some Glad Rags that I used last time but they didn't hold up too well.  Wish me luck.

On  a happier note, there may be a home birth on the horizon.  I don't want to jinx myself so I won't say anything else just yet, but things are a-brewin'.  I will keep you posted.

Spring is almost here!  Time to start thinking about gardening and planning all of the outdoor fun to be had!  Hanging my clothesline!  Digging in the dirt!!  Teaching my son about the delicate hum of nature and doing my best to bring him a little bit of the peace and joy that can come from surrounding yourself with beautiful growth.  Aaaahhh...I can't wait!
