Je glisse dans le "cute"!Depuis que ma fille va à la prématernelle, 2 jours semaine, 6 heures à la fois, je perfectionne ses petits lunchs. Je m'aperçois que la bouffe doit être drôlement intéressante pour qu'elle mange. C'est qu'elle placote toujours. (Je me demande bien d'où elle a pris ça!) Elle parle tellement en fait qu'elle en oublie de manger. Je dois donc soutenir son interêt et ai fait

Mon chum est un ramasseux de cossins. Un méchant ramasseux!Il ramène plein de trucs trouvés dans les poubelles de son complexe industriel ou sur le bord de la route...Des fois on garde ses "trésors", d'autres fois ils retournent dans les poubelles.Bon, cette habitude me rend folle par moments, mais je dois admettre que parfois il fait de bonnes trouvailles, pour le bon prix.Comme cette tondeuse

Ma fille a du caractère. Je suis bien placée pour le savoir. Il y a un journée tout récemment où elle était en "time-out". Elle s'est sauvé de sa chambre pour aller faire pipi sur LE seul petit tapis qu'on a dans la maison, juste assez grand pour le la chienne y fasse dodo. (Il y a un autre petit tapis dans sa chambre mais quand même). Mais bon, c'est un comportement que je peux comprendre quand

Okay, avez-vous vu mes stats? 2 de mes billets en francais semblent générer la majorité de ceux qui atterrissent ici via Google.1. A cause de ce billet sur l'entretien de la laine, beaucoup de recherches atterissent ici.

C'est joli, non?J'ai acheté ma laine naturelle directement de la bergère :-) Et ron ron ron petit patapon!Les ai ensuite teintes au Kool-Aid. Je suis très fière du résultat.

Last week I have received a bunch of nice yarns for making new soakers for Miss Baby. So right now I am in fiber bliss :). I am also finally working with the fabulous pure cashmere yarn my husband gave me for Christmas. Making myself a short moebius neckwarmer and fingerless gloves with it.After I am done with a few soakers for her, I will start making some more for selling.I will soon put up a

The Tender Tush wins the sad prize of my least favorite diaper.I bought them when my first was about 4-5 months. I thought they were cute and had good reviews on the DiaperPin. They are HUGE. I have the infant size, they are supposed to fit 7-20 lbs. Well, in my experience, they just start fitting well at 20 lbs. In fact I'm pretty sure I could still put one on my 27 lb toddler.Here's my 12 weeks

I enjoyed the rules posted by MamaKenz. So now is the time for my contribution.Those rules apply to my toddler. Baby is too little for them for now.- We don't stick our free hands under mommy's arm pits. And if you have managed to put your hand there and I tolerated it, you don't wiggle your fingers in Mommy's armpit!- We don't twiddle our hair while nursing. (She twirls her tongue along with her

I want to rave about my Moon Petal and Domino pads.I am reviewing them together because they are very similar. They are both a bamboo velour pad with a fleece backing.I got the postpartum version for both of them. Similar lenght.I love that they have no PUL or other plastic layer. They breathe and I think it helped my healing a lot. The bamboo is so soft and absorbent, that they do not leak

Qu'est-ce qui arrive quand on demande à un enfant de 2 ans et demie de nous aider a mettre une brassée dans la laveuse?Bein elle va chercher du linge dans son tirroir et le fout dans la laveuse pour completer la brassée...Mon chum ne s'en ai pas rendu compte, j'ai réalisé pas mal vite par contre que je suis en train de replier le linge que j'ai plié hier!

I just came across this product on Etsy. She calls them cuddle sacs!The crafter(MariahMade.etsy.com) is absolutely brilliant! This is what I’ll do with the ton of onesies that I will receive over the next 8 weeks :-) It could even be a way to use some receiving blankets that are too small to my liking :-)(I don’t like onesies, but I love baby sleeping gowns)

Elle est née à la suite de trop d’interventions à mon goût. Je devrais écrire le récit de sa naissance bientôt, pour exorciser mes

Note to self: If you don’t want to sell something, don’t put it in your store :-)I have been making small soakers and hats for a little while, figuring that when my baby comes, I can just pull out of that stash what I want to use for him or her.This soaker was my favorite, but I also posted it. I did not realized how much I liked it, until it sold yesterday!I have to make more like it now!

It was a long silence... Sorry.Pregnancy is going well. We are almost 3/4 of the way! Yay!For that reason, I have been making a lot of small items. I got newborn hats and small wool soakers in stock and I am making more.Grab them quick too, because my baby will probably get what doesn’t sell :-)Check out what I have in stock.

Have you checked the feedback section of my etsy store?There are now three pictures of babies wearing my creations :-)It makes me very happy to see them in use.My friend Wi has also posted some pics of her little B wearing his wool shorties. If you read French, I recommend reading her blog. She has interesting views on parenting, family, social issues and life in general.

Comme je ne travaille pas aujourd'hui, ce matin je me suis décidée de mettre un chandail de maternité au lieu de mes vêtements de "grosse". Quelle différence! Conclusion: À 13 semaines, toujours 12 livres sous mon poids d'avant la grossesse, j'ai bel et bien l'air enceinte!

Donc avec J, nous avons pratiqué "l'elimination communication" depuis qu'elle a 7 semaines. C'est à dire qu'autant que possible nous l'avons encouragé et avons aidé à utiliser la toilette (...et le lavabo de la salle de bain, le petit coin dans la pelouse, un contenant de salade vide en pique-nique au parc, ...). Au début c'était les pipis, pour nous ils étaient plus faciles à attraper. Les cacas

She doesn't have time to knit it, and was taking some space in her house.Just got it today. And a BIG bag of it.

Don't eat KFC in the first trimester, even if you are in a hurry and it is convenient.

La lanoline, c’est la graisse corporelle naturelle du mouton. C’est ce qui garde le mouton au sec et rend la laine résistante à l’eau. La laine peut absorber environ 30% de son poids sans sentir mouillée au toucher, ce qui signifie que les culottes en laines peuvent absorber quelques « débordements » sans causer de fuites majeures. Juste à laisser sécher la laine entre les utilisations et vous

I had fun with Kool-Aid and food coloring again yesterday and dyed two pairs of fingerless gloves. One as a custom order for a friend, the other to stock my store. This was first attempt of dyeing a finished garment. I called them Sunset and Sunrise.I love how they turned out. And the way the dye set in between the stitches. It is hard for me to let go those little cuties!

Today we went grocery shopping and diapers were on sale.So the store literally had a display like a gigantic mountain of disposable diapers packs. Really really big stacks. I could not help but seeing all the useless garbage when I looked at this mountain.And then instead of putting 2-3 cases of diapers in the cart because they were cheap like a lot of parents did, we just walked by the

The skirtie on longies is coming... It should be in my store by the end of the week.I finished some fingerless gloves. I stocked the store with adult/youth size ones, and I made a pair for my daughter. Seeing how much she likes hers, I am in the process of making some toddler size ones for sale as well. I will try to make some boyish ones too.The first batch of BFL yarns are being dyed as I type.

This blog has been created to talk about my crochet addiction, show off my items in progress either for my family or for others, the stocking of my Etsy store and the reasons why I am not crocheting at other times.
