baking and making with my family of 9
Oops one question I’ve been asked a few times since this blog post is ‘how big should I make my quilts?’.What a great and obvious question because not everyone has cots and bassinets in their house like I do.

Earlier this year I discovered through facebook a lovely charity called St Kilda Mums. They take baby equipment, clothes and toys and deliver them to mums in need. Some of their requests are so urgent. Women who are living in refuges, have no family, no money, none of the necessities that we mums take for granted. I wanted […]
