Number of teapots cut and sewn: 2, with the third in progress right now.
I keep thinking that the next crafty project I start is the one I won't be able to finish. I'm not supposed to finish the teapots, or the tea cups. I wasn't supposed to finish the scrapbook of Tucson. And before that, I wasn't supposed to finish the foxes or the fabric hearts or the mobile. And though I'm rather glad to have all these lovely finished things, rather than having them piled in progress around the house, I am really looking forward to the project that I'll have to put aside and leave in pieces while we rush off to have Tilly.

It's frustrating being this side of the birth, I know. But the biggest project of your life isn't quite finished yet - she'll let you know when she is though. Before you know it, you'll wonder what life was like when you had time, as you do now. She will come, just try to inhale the space and time you have around you and be in this moment. Welcome to parenting - what you want isn't necessarily what happens :) Hugs xxx
WOW! Can you post some pictures of your finished Tucson scrapbook, please?? I'm sorry you're having to wait so long to meet Tilly! But I'm also glad that Tilly is waiting so that you won't have to wait so long for you mum's wonderful help after Tilly's arrival =)
Astrid - Tilly is waiting for just the right project to come along ;) Take care! xoxo, Jill
oh, and i love the teacups/teapots!
Dear Astrid,
enjoy this time of waiting and surprise: it's a good exercise cause parenthood is going to be like this from now on... Those little suckers always, always find a way to make something exceptional and new every day!
xoxo, Franci
