Easy baby bib pattern and tutorial

July 15, 2013August 30, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 19 Comments

About, ooooh, five months ago I decided to make my sproglet some bibs. He was six months old at the time and I wanted a bib of a decent length to actually catch all the food he was spilling down his front as I was weaning him. After a very perfunctory Google, I couldn't find … Continue reading Easy baby bib pattern and tutorial

I write this fresh from waging war on the slugs and snails in my garden. I'd love to say that I was the victor but, despite having deposited a full ice cream tub of the slippery critters into the skip at the end of my road, I fear their guerilla warfare tactics will give them … Continue reading Quilt happy

A bundle of bibs

Remember when I made the little sproglet a set of carrot clothes in celebration of National Carrot Day a few months ago? And how I broke my sewing machine making the first of four planned bibs? Well, the breakage turned out to be terminal, which was sad for my machine, but quite delightful for me … Continue reading A bundle of bibs

Rainy Saturday morning. Off to exercise class and then back home to curl up on the sofa and read a book. (Almost tempted to light a fire, the weather is so fucking bleak for April 1st…)
Grief is a complicated thing. It is 15 years today since my first son died — ten months old, asleep in his cot at home when I was out at work. Everything has changed in the years since and in some ways I can hardly imagine how that other life of mine would have played out if he hadn’t died. At other times, I remember the phone call I got from the Homerton as I left work on that day, and the pain is just as deep as it was in the moment. It’s been written many times, I know, but grief doesn’t ever really lessen, you just learn to grow around it, to grow alongside it. You learn to adapt as the rest of the world continues on and people forget, and you become one of the only memory keepers. Which itself is another complicated thing.
So grateful for friends who leave flowers on your doorstep because they know you are feeling sad.
Love this idea from @nurturingfolk — 60 pictures from 2022, set to 1 second each and don’t overthink it or stress!
