We were supposed to be going to meet some Home-Edding friends today, but Chelsea has been up in the night with sickness, and I have spent the night playing nurse and changing sheets. Still, a day indoors doesn't sound too bad when you think of how cold it is! Chelsea is still tucked up in bed feeling sorry for herself, so I think I may get the others started on a Christmas Card production line.
I'm having a bit of a break from cardmaking at the moment, and trying my hand at knitting again. When I have been pregnant with each of my children, out the knitting needles have came and I have made cute little cardies and hats. Once they have got too big for me to have the patience to knit for, the needles have gone away and been forgotten.
I now have another excuse to pick them up though, as Tiegan is getting a Chou Chou doll for Christmas. Last night I got started on a little matinee jacket, choosing yellow wool (as it's Tiegan's favourite colour, wouldn't be my first choice). It was lovely to sit watching TV whilst click-clacking away, it made me think I really should do it more often. It also made me feel incredibly broody, which was really strange. I had really thought that 4 was it for me. I have held newborn babies without that usual pang, I have been able to look at cutsie baby clothes without feeling the need to have a baby to put them on. I was pleased to think that that I had known when the time to stop had come, and to lose that constant wanting feeling was a relief. Now I'm confused, and I'm really not sure that my baby days are as over as I thought they were. I wonder...
