Morning Sickness has kicked in. I am ok for a few hours in the morning but then I have to go back to bed. School is on lite mode for a short while. ha ha. Anne St Clare and her friend Debbie did come by on Sunday after church. They measured me and my two oldest daughters. They had a ton of sample bras for us to try on to see what band size and cup size would work. Then she made the patterns for all three of us. I had bought the patterns earlier but she modified what need to be modified. They were here for almost two hours. So when I have been feeling good I have been cutting. I wanted to see how many pieces I could get out of the kit. I cut out 2 for both my girls and 1 and 1/2 for me, then I realized I didn't save any for my straps. lol. After a call to Anne I found I can use some flannel to make the straps if needed. I also ordered an other kit because I figured I would be making more. You figure the kit cost $28 and if I can get 5 complete bras(my oldest and I are on the large side) thats still only around $5.60 per bra. Now my bras alone are around $30 or more per. Oh and did I mention Anne made a modification piece for me so I can make mine into a nursing bra. I have one of my daughters almost done minus straps, but I will have to put that on hold today. My mom is coming to visit this morning and then we are starting a knitting group which meets today. It looks like it will be starting off small until the summer kicks in. I willl post pictures of completed bras later. I am quite impressed how they are turning out. They are fun and not that hard to make.
Concerning morning sickness - don't let your belly get empty. Always have a snack on hand.
Try smelling orange peels - it's suppose to eliminate nausea. ;D
I wanted to let you know about a contest with a chance to win one of my ebooks.
Hurry though, it ends tomorrow!

I am a homeschool mom with 6 wonderful children. We live in the High Desert in California. After spending 10 years on active duty with the Navy the Lord has blessed me with the opportunity to be at home with my children and school them. We have been blessed with many homeschool families that live around us. They have all been an encouragement and blessing to me.
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture."
