I have read that cutting the individual pills off with scissors is the best approach, but ain't nobody got time for that. willfulminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081063479510671539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37833399.post-79954672171995293072015-10-21T09:10:54.420-05:002015-10-21T09:10:54.420-05:00Have you found your kids knits have a tendency to ...Have you found your kids knits have a tendency to pill?

I have my priorities: happy family and good food. For me being happy means spending time making something every day. I try to keep up with the house for sure but am not afraid to take a few minutes for my hobbies when the opportunity presents itself. The work will still be there later but the peace and quiet of nap time is fleeting!willfulminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081063479510671539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37833399.post-2501752679804403262015-10-16T08:32:56.797-05:002015-10-16T08:32:56.797-05:00Your children are beautiful!

I decided a long time ago that separates for the girls were not worth my time or aggravation, so I get them short sleeve knit dresses for summer and long sleeve knit dresses for fall/winter. Add a sweater and tights or leggings and they are good to go. I like the dresses from LLBean and Land's End best (although Hanna Andersson has nice ones too, they are expensive, even second hand) <br /><br />For myself, separates were the best thing for nursing. Dresses are too tricky, not only for access but for modesty. I had one or two knit dresses that worked in theory, but in reality, just showed way too much skin (and none of my babies ever did well with a nursing cover). Knits are nice because they stretch, and one with some body to the fabric will cover lumps and bumps as the body goes up and down.

I'm planning on making her another sweater for Christmas, and I hope it will last her for a couple of years.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37833399.post-49316053845236570302015-10-12T13:53:54.986-05:002015-10-12T13:53:54.986-05:00loved this post! what you make for your kids is su...loved this post! what you make for your kids is super worth it! and more beautiful than store bought!! elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.com
