Hi Julie, happy new year! My father has had glaucoma for almost three decades now, and though he does have to use daily eye drops, nothing else has been affected and he even passes his driving test last month at the age of 74. So just keep it monitored and you should be fine. It is hereditary, thoug, so Amy and Toby should start getting tested when they turn 20, I think. Take care, I look forward to all your newest knitting in 2014! I just love everything you do, and your joyful outlook and love for your family. Hugs!
january
Sorry to have been absent for so long but it's been a bit of a peculiar start to the year here. January is the month when most of Toby's annual review meetings take place and so it's a time to focus on where he is making progress and where he needs more help. It's always uncomfortable to measure...

Oh goody, maybe now my kids will let me take down the patriotic ones we have! Not that they aren't beautiful, but I think these are so sweet. Thanks again for your generosity.

Oh, so pretty. Really love those blues with greys!
a little remiss of me….so a giveaway
it seems in the rush and excitement of pre market jitters I have neglected to actually show you my newest fabric range! Actually it was more rush than excitement with my fabric samples arriving only 6 days before I left for America…. so as you can understand a blog post about this exciting e...

How wonderful! It's beautiful, even unfurnished, and every bit of it just screams "love." It needs a name, don't you think? :0)
garden room
Well, half term last week was a bit of a wash out really. The first half of the week was wet and windy and in the second half we all came down with stinking colds. Still, it was impossible to feel downhearted because we now have this at the end of the garden :) It is everything we had hop...
That's because you are a truly loving and gifted teacher who cares. My oldest is graduating elementary school next Thursday and I feel the tears already. She has had such nurturing teachers, we have been so lucky. I wish I knew you in "real" life, but thank you for sharing so much of yourself here. Your students will carry you with them always.
xoxo

I've been away. On Sunday I returned from an eleven day work trip to Europe and I'm still recovering (more on that later). Home with just five days left of preschool until September, I started to feel the sadness of another year coming to an end. We wrote our goodbye cards to the children (w...
Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to write this up. Such helpful information, and I'm off to buy your patterns now. So excited you've decided to start offering them. Yay!
Knitting tips: Fair Isle/stranded colourwork
During writing up the first of my animal patterns it's been hard to know just how much detail to go into. I didn't want the patterns to only cover the written knitting instructions with a few lines about assembling the toy almost as an afterthought. Instead I wanted them to include as much detai...
What a sweet message, Cassi. Hope you had a lovely, joyful mothers day yourself. Xoxo
You are a Supermom!
I was thinking of you and hoping you all had a happy Mother's Day. I wanted to thank you for coming here every day and looking for ways to spend creative time with your children. Thank you for making that a priority and knowing in your gut that children need quantity time as well as quality tim...
They look fantastic! Love the polka dots. I'd pick the animal themed set, just to have so much variety in your cute kits!
the virtual tea & cake party (and the great big giveaway)
I am beyond thrilled to be celebrating the launch of six new Cupcakes for Clara kits today. As if six new kits wasn't exciting enough, there's a big old virtual tea and cake party going on here too. Grab yourselves a cuppa and a sweet treat and get ready for some loveliness. There's a grea...
Cassi, I hope your dad is doing much better. You seem to be in a healthy state of mind, so I'm hoping you're all fine. Last year was the worst of my life, so I'm trying to take action and stop waiting for the "right" time to do things, as well. I've had a bathroom redo in my sights since we first bought this house, and I realize that come February, it will be 10 years! And not a thing has been touched. Time to take action, now! I will be thinking about you and keeping you in mind as I try to stay motivated. I'll keep up with you here and on Bella Dia, take care!
What's Been Going On...
Hi everyone, I apologize for things being a bit quiet here for the past month. Although I had posts scheduled for most of December, behind the scenes I was occupied with family health problems. My father had a small stroke while he was away from home and there was a lot of traveling, doctor...

Oh, yes, please, my girls would love this. I'll even print on magnet sheets so they can dress them up o their magnetized bedroom wall all season long! Thanks so much.
Printable Christmas paper doll
Hello dear bloggie friends! The last few weeks have gone by in a blur, because I've been working like crazy to finish my new app, Bunnyfur's Christmas. When it's done, it will be submitted to Apple, then I have to wait another week or so for them to approve. My poor little eyeballs are soooo ...

Congratulations! May your hearts always feel so full, yet grow ever fuller. Enjoy your expanded family! Much love to you all.
Then, Amelia.
My heart is so full it's hard to speak. We have adopted a baby girl. We were honored and privileged to be asked by her luminous birthmother and her gentle birthfather to attend her birth. That moment, and the four days we spent in a hospital room with them and their family and friends were th...
Beautiful color, it's my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway!
Today's Giveaway: Office Supplies from Martha Stewart by Avery!
I've got a great giveaway for you today! Office supplies from Martha Stewart Home Office by Avery! I don't know about you but I adore office supplies! Besides helping me get organized, they make me feel like I am getting something done even when I'm not. It is so satisfying to thumb through...
I honestly don't know how you could part with even a single one, but I'm so glad you choose to share them with the world. Thanks so much for a chance to win one. May "normal" arrive quickly in your home. Aside from being with my two girls, knitting, crochet and handwork (embroidery, for example, or hand-piecing) makes me happy.
a give-away
Well, the animals are now fully armed (though not dangerous in the least little bit) and they have their tails and buttons attached in the appropriate places too. So to celebrate the start of my 7th year of blogging I'm going to give one of them away. To enter just leave a comment below. A...
