..And some fairly dreadful photographic evidence of that sewing. Cute baby though, makes up for it, right?
I have, surprisingly, found a few moments for sewing in the past two weeks (YES, Mollie is TWO weeks old already?! How does this happen?).
Mollie is not a baby that likes being put down. Do any newborns really like being put down? Probably not. But some newborns do seem to be able to sleep if swaddled tight and if they're already asleep when you pop them in their bassinet. Not this one. (And I'm not complaining.. just sayin'.)
But I have had ONE day where Mol did sleep without me (for two whole hours!), and one arvo where she slept with Abraham for and hour or so... precious sewing time!

I made a wee recycled merino dress and some stripey footed pants the first day, and a Mollie-sized version of these amazing leggings on the second, using the same stripey cotton lycra.
I'm keeping my expectations low, and not 'expecting' any sewing time in these first few weeks. But, by golly, it was so nice to be in front of that machine again! Looking forward to having a bit more time for sewing in the not-too-distant future.

gorgeous sewing and gorgeous baby- it is lovely to get a bit of sewing/creative time isn't it even when you're bone tired, I find it more recharging than having a sleep sometimes! Jack my 3rd baby did not sleep anywhere but in my or my hubby's arms for the first 2 weeks after he was born. He wouldn't even sleep in a bouncer/rocker or swing type thing- just our arms. It was pretty exhausting but then after the 2 weeks he must have just accepted that he was out in the real world and slept in his bassinet from then- phew! Bit tricky to look after 2 other kiddie when you've got a baby in your arms permanently!
