I'd like to blog it as a DT piece (it's different but similar to yours - if you know what I mean!) and I thought I'd ask if you minded? I will of course give you credit and put a link in to your blog. It's not going live until september anyway so unless I hear from you, I'll assume it's ok. (I know how busy you are so don't worry about a reply unless you object to being my inspirational muse!!)<br />Have a lovely weekend and get some rest if you can!<br />JuliaxJulia S-Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556957426362027643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342531928843349455.post-91515038481210807642012-08-05T21:27:44.351+01:002012-08-05T21:27:44.351+01:00Hi, tanks for leaving me a comment, realy apprecia...Hi, tanks for leaving me a comment, realy appreciate it!

It does make me laugh when you said the baby should of come with label attached. Keep smiling and love your little miracle as I am sure you do...<br /><br />Amazing art I don't know how you do it with such a beautiful baby and so small too. <br /><br />I am not an avid follower of the magazine but I will now go and look in the shop for it. <br /><br />Eliza #16 againElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921884729737495356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342531928843349455.post-27135584744810265652012-08-03T10:13:34.610+01:002012-08-03T10:13:34.610+01:00Hi Sarah don't beat yourself up about the brea...Hi Sarah don't beat yourself up about the breast feeding Ruby has had a great start and she's now ready to move on. She'll let you know what she needs though it may take a while to figure out sometimes! She looks very happy in your pic. I love your tutorial in CS i love using that metal tape.

Glad the hanging arrived so quickly, though not without mishap ... I see a couple of the pearls have gone astray ... and I'm more than happy to be one of Ruby's many aunties :)<br />Love your Craft Stamper tutorial - I've marked the page with the intention of trying your metal tape technique bur first must source some chicken wire :)) Hope you have a good week, Elizabeth x #63Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762785911026167332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342531928843349455.post-59193755898967656772012-08-02T09:04:23.146+01:002012-08-02T09:04:23.146+01:00aw bless you, what a week!

Don't stress about some of the decisions you're making now. In no time at all they will seem insignificant and new decisions will replace them as you agonise over those! F is 12 and T is 9 and I still feel like I have no idea if I am doing/saying the right things but they are clean, happy young folk so I guess somehow I've not done too badly!<br /><br />The Craft Stamper article is fabulous! In fact I am in the middle of making a metal thingie for David for our anniversary and you've made me realise that the missing thing is chicken wire so I'm off to Homebase after work tonight!

Don't be beating yourself up about the feeding petal, exactly the same thing happened with one of mine...trust me, there is NO choice between getting the baby fed and not, so you just do what you have to do so tiddler thrives.
