2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Aliop]

Aliop any chance I know you from the How to Make MCNs fb group?

No I am not in any mcn groups. Is it a nice one? Will have to check it out Is that what it is called?

 

[NDH]

Its called How to make your own MCNs and woolies. Its become something of a destash page for fabric lately but its quite nice with not much drama

Allop kuddos to you for cloth diapering all of your kids AND making them yourself! What a money saver that must be! I got some wool sweaters from the thrift shop and have felted them with the intention of making 'Das Monster' pants. Once you lanolize them they absorb any urine that sneaks out of a diaper really well and the lanolize is slightly antibacterial preventing rash with urine. Plus they're super cute & warm for Canada (Darkstar I'm in Calgary).

Super cute! I always check out op shops for wool sweaters to upcycle but I haven't found much that's not boring and expensive. I have made a couple of longies though.

Lovely! I'm also up cycling a few into accent pillow covers (below) to update the tired covers in our living room. The Salvation Army mirano wool sweaters were between $3.99-5.99, dirt cheap! Will get some fun buttons on our trip to Europe in a few weeks here (it was meant to be our last European IVF trip so now I'll enjoy perusing yarn shops and maybe get some summer maternity clothes? NDH are you on Pinterest?

I've just recently learned how to knit. I did the sleep sack, owl booties, owl toque and stirrup striped leggings for a gf's baby shower last weekend. There's so much I want to make and so little time lol. This is my board of projects to do (and a few that I've done): https://www.pinterest.com/dzigneye/knottylassy

Im planning on cloth bumming this baby - I tried with Miss 4 but had really cheapy ones that leaked constantly so never really got into it.

Cloth bumming, breastfeeding, baby wearing and aiming for an unassisted home birth - My DH rekons I'm turning hippy on him!

When I first started out nearly seven years ago there was a real core group of horrible women who spoilt a lot of the groups so I never re-joined any, glad to hear they've improved! Might check this one out ...not that I need any more fabric haha!!

Love love love the monster woollies! I get a rash from wool so I've never used it on my kids much, I do love the look of it though.

Haha! My husband tells everyone I'm a hippy mama lol You are so brave going for an unassisted home birth. I had a secret ideal of that 'happening' with my third but as fate would have it I ended up with a prolapsed cord and an EMCS after two beautiful births I never thought it would happen. I'm really hoping and planning for a VBAC this time.

I was so excited I leanrt how to multi quote I forgot to write what I was going to write LOL

We took the kids to the pool this afternoon and the water was so nice!! Made me feel really light again, didn't realise I was feeling so heavy and strained already. Cannot wait to hit second trimester so the osteopath with see me!

 

[CrazyMumma]

Aliop lmao thats awesome I can't wait to hit second tri!

 

[NDH]

Crazymumma yay I'm not the only one on here going unassisted! My hubby says the same thing about me "going hippy" on him our goal is to live in an Eco village in a year or two.

 

[tallybee]

Awww eco village living would be awesome! though I love city too... Hmmm lol.

My children have brought me breakfast in bed. It's mothers day in the UK and they brought me love heart shaped crumpets and home made cookies

 

[3boys]

My kids are so sweet they brought me breakfast in bed with homemade cards and flowers from the garden. I think hubby is making an extra special effort as it's the first mothers day without my mum for me.
