The PJs look fab. I think hiding them until Robin's birthday is a great idea, they will be all shiny and new again 😊 Slight cheat idea but have you thought about buying patchwork patterned fabric and then using that to make more hot water bottle covers 😅. Your 100% hand made one looks fab, I think it might been the initial building the fabric step that feels like more labour than result, purchasing the patchwork look might make the process faster and more satisfying. Small children are the best mood boost I have ever found. They are so in the moment that you can't think of anything else either. They are all complete energy sponges 😂. I will say it does get easier but it's never not tiring. Everyday is a physical, intellectual and emotional roller-coaster for them and you are along for that ride! I'm so glad you are enjoying them so much 😊 I hope this week is a healthier week for all of you. Xx 😊
Hello! Ah thank you, I think he'll be excited when he opens them on the day. Funnily enough, although you might (and I might) have expected the EPP to feel like the labour, that#s the bit I enjoyed the most and I'm already working on a new EPP project. Creating the patchwork fabric is so satisfying. I think the fatigue and tension came from being faced with so many new techniques I'd never tried, and being scared I'd ruin the project, if that makes sense. Yes the small people I get to spend my days with are so rewarding. I feel totally utterly spent by 3.30 and have no idea how anyone manages to do it full time 8-6 5 days a week! I led my first baking activity with them on Wednesday and it wasn't a disaster so I'm counting that as a triumph haha! VERY different baking with 6-8 toddlers than 1. xx
Gorgeous hot water bottle cover and sweet pyjamas 🧡
