Against my better judgement, I've signed up for Blogtoberfest. This means that I'll be attempting to post daily for the month of October.
The new addition, not yet a week old
You might be wondering why I would do such a thing given our current life circumstances, and part of me is too! However, I'm working on the assumption that it will be a good thing to try to extract my head momentarily each day from the craziness that's involved in adding a new person to the family, even if it's just to take a picture, or to make a (very) short post.
Given that the main focus of this blog is making and not parenting (even though it makes a necessary appearance here occasionally), I'm hoping that you don't get inundated with gratuitous baby shots because I'm besotted (it's true) and can't think of anything else! I'm hoping to snatch a moment here and there to do a row of knitting, or admire the carrots that were planted a couple of weeks ago, or even pull out a dandelion or two! We'll see.
Thanks, Cathy, for hosting Blogtoberfest again this year. I know that through Blogtoberfest last year I connected with a few bloggers who have become firm friends, and hopefully this year there might be a few more!

Ah, you're brave, I wish you luck with getting through the festive month of blogtober! I don't blame you for being besotted *cluck*, I'm sure nobody will mind a squishy bubba shot or eleventy...! ;)
PS, best verification word ever: 'retro'....!
Brave indeed!! And I thought I was in over my head!! You have my admiration. Looking forward to reading along and seeing a bunch of gorgeous newbie shots. She is luverly. xx
Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby!! She looks adorable and I'm happy to see photo's of her every day of October!! Good luck and enjoy this precious time with her, hope it's all going well xo
Oh who doesnt love gorgeous baby photos! It will be good too for you to have a little journal of the first few crazy weeks after you bring a new baby home!
One word or picture counts! Just in case :-) Welcome aboard and as the others have said...baby photos definitely ok!
What a cutie! And wow, I admire your commitment!
I understand where you're coming from... but be sure to be kind to yourself and take care.
So it's obvious the Supermum hormones have kicked in??? Just take a nap first!
Awww, my first sighting. She's a peach. Can't wait to meet her! And go blogtober-crazy I say - this is exactly the time you need to feel a wee sense of achievement beyond showering yourself and feeding a bub :)
