Life's Good

Life is definitely different now, and I'm absolutely loving having Tayla so close and watching her interact with her mummy. Hollie is back to her old self, smiling and laughing, it does my heart good to see her relax and enjoy her precious bundle.

In between bottle feeds.

Burps,

and nappy changes I've managed to squeeze in a little stitching time,



for Christmas gift giving, and precious baby's. Birdie will work perfectly with the appliqued blocks for Tayla.

I know it's mean only giving you peeks, but I don't want dd2 seeing what will be winging it's way to her house.

Thank you for all your words of encouragement and love you sent our way concerning Hollie's situation. It's always so reassuring knowing that there are friends who understand and support our choices.


Happy Stitching.

Linda
