Making the time?

Over three months since my last blog post, because I’ve been so busy – consumed by work, voluntary commitments and a singing tour in Germany. Which, as I noted at the beginning, is a worry – how can I find time for this new little person?

In March I began to make her a dress. Spent time finding the right fabric, the sweetest buttons; cut out the pieces and began to stitch them together. Lovely to sew, thinking about the things a little person might do, experience, see and learn while she’s wearing it. But a couple of months on the half-finished dress is waiting patiently on a hanger for me to finish the hem and add the buttons. Good thing she’s not ready to wear it yet.

  1. I've just realised I'm going to have something in common with your grandchild!Both my grandmothers were intelligent, articulate, and vivacious, as are the grandmothers of this new baby! As a child I presumed all grandmas were like this...it was a bit of a suprise to find out they wern't.
