iCandi: September 2006

Tuesday, September 26, 2006. I think it is our maternal duty to believe that our children are the smartest, brightest, most beautiful. Having said that, Willow did two things recently which surprised even me. First one we had been for a walk and I was wearing a puma t-shirt which has a puma on it (obviously). She pointed to it and said ‘cat! Now, I wouldn’t think that the puma logo is really that recognisable, but I asked her later what it was and she said ‘cat! Posted by candi @ 7:01 PM.

iCandi: July 2006
http://toileandvelvet.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 29, 2006. I have been busy making new stuff, swap stuff and researching an idea that I have had in my head for a little while now. I'm currently using this as my hand bag - it's nice and roomy, an essential characteristic of handbags for me! Another bag I made, using a totally different pattern. I'm not 100 percent happy with the dimensions, but I'll know for next time. It is a small size 3, so it looks huge on Willow! Posted by candi @ 7:05 PM. Tuesday, July 11, 2006.

iCandi: October 2006

Sunday, October 08, 2006. Willow's latest trick is the word "No". She says it very delieberately and slowly, as if she has given your request careful consideration but will have to deny it at this stage. She is testing the effect of the word - at the playgroud I asked her if she wanted to go down the big slippery dip. "No," she said as she walked towards it. She then turned around and climbed down the ladder she had just climbed up. All that effort, just to make a point! Posted by candi @ 4:00 PM.

iCandi: August 2006
http://toileandvelvet.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. I made this one from fabric sent to me by Clair. And a pattern that Ingrid. She wore it today and got a couple of compliments on it. You can see the loose threads but they have since been trimmed. The pattern called for a zip, but I just used two buttons and loops of embroidery thread to close them. Posted by candi @ 10:57 PM. I always thought that Willow started throwing tantrums at about 11 months. That was when she really started to know what she wanted and how to get it.
