Saffron Threads: February 2015

http://saffronthreads.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 25, 2015. The Dusk Feed (In Slow Motion). She cries, and I slowly take up my position on the couch,. Bring her close, fill her up. Every emotion is magnified for the next twenty minutes. I am so tired', I think. And close my eyes for just a minute. Everything is noisy here. Big kids bathing, playing, reading, telling me jokes. Cars speed down the street, workers anxious to return home to their babies, their families. I cry I want to be sick from the tiredness. She finishes, full tummy.

Saffron Threads: March 2015

http://saffronthreads.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 23, 2015. Catch Me If You Can: Snow Trip. I didn't really plan on enjoying myself. In fact the odds for dissatisfaction were stacked in my favor:. Tim could take only three days leave (plus a weekend); we found out only four days in advance, giving us minimal time to prepare; we had just a small amount of holiday money put aside; and I was halfway through pregnancy. But I agreed to it, purely in the hope of creating memories of adventure, family and togetherness for the kids. Selwyn Snowfie...

Saffron Threads: April 2015

http://saffronthreads.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 12, 2015. Mine is the personality type that enjoys knowing personality types more than any other personality type. In other words, it's in my make-up to know myself well, and to be able to discern others well. I have spent many sleepless nights introspecting, so I feel confident about what makes me, me. But sometimes I am (and we are) faced with questions and even dissatisfaction about who we are or who we have become. I have found that people approach this one of two ways:. So if you are a...

Saffron Threads: Happy Handmade #4

http://saffronthreads.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-handmade-4.html

Thursday, July 30, 2015. More dresses (and this you just can't buy). Matching outfits for my niece and her doll, Lula. With box pleats, pockets for little hands, and a dash of bright yellow binding inside, this is a cute and classic style for busy girls. The pattern can be bought here. I found the fitting perfect, with this one made in a size 2. I simply mini-sized and added an easy-open velcro back for the matching dolls dress. July 30, 2015 at 9:17 PM.

Saffron Threads: September 2014

http://saffronthreads.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 7, 2014. It began with a month of prayer for new life. For a baby, or for a child, or for a new dream of what life could be without. Not for me, but for my dear friends. I knew the blessings of children myself and so I pleaded for this hope for them. I reminded God of the joy of children. The pride, the happiness, the sleeplessness, the creativity, the drama, and the beauty they bring. And I felt that something was about to change. And I was full of fear. Fear of starting over. Hope tha...

Saffron Threads: May 2014

Saturday, May 24, 2014. That is how my three year old interprets the lyrics. It is very cute and quite accurate when it comes to this post. Kids seem to acquire confidence, poise, and even optimism when dressed in character. Chefs are more experimental. Princesses are more graceful. Though they are still the same child. Dress ups are one of the best play tools I know. And even better when the costumes are stretchy and zipless). Friday, May 23, 2014. Kid Bags for Mothers Day. Monday, May 5, 2014.

Friday, May 29, 2015. A Reminder for When My Children are Grown and I Feel that My Sleep is a Bit Interrupted. Bathtime for kids and baby. In between bath and shower transfers, an attempt to finish off a birthday cake for Tim. Keep Tess happy-on-hip. Tim home. Tess falls asleep. Dinner crazy dinner time. Some talk, tv (the big football game is on tonight), bedtime routines. Tess awake. Feeds, back to sleep. Need to stay awake to watch the first half at least. Nope. Fall asleep in bed. Best of Both Worlds.
