THE BUSINESS

I've done a tutorial for the basket bag, to try and answer some of the questions people were having about how it all goes together. You can find it through the link below, and get even more confused than you were when you started! It's actually very easy.

I thought I'd take this opportunity to also link across to my Flickr album, which will soon replace the photo albums on here until I get myself sorted again with what I want to display, and how. And I just think I want to play with the cool people on Flickr because everyone else is.

And I also wanted to thank everyone who commented about my friend who had her baby prematurely. Rosie read all your comments, and she was incredibly touched and taken back by the amount of support people showed given they didn't know her. Baby is doing well all things considered, and Rosie is trying to be strong and give as much as she can. I have a huge amount of respect and love for her. Oh and Scarlet looks incredibly cute in her photos as well.

Thanks for posting the tutorial! Your a sweetheart! Im sorry to hear that your battling anxiety...I went through the same experience while just recently pregnant with my last child...It was a dreadfull 4 months before I was able to beat it. The best remedy for me was "mind over matter", lots of concentration and spousal support. Good luck and lots of hugs, Ariane

I'm glad baby Scarlet and mum Rosie are doing well. It's a scary thing to be confronted with a tiny creature, even more so when they come so early and so much smaller than normal. But they do grow, and prems usually grow at a faster rate than the 'norms' to catch up. It's just those smiles that seem to take so long..
