rabbits..

So this blog was not intended to be turned into a weight loss blog. :)  Somewhere along the way, life got busy and my blogging got lost with it. :P

I really don't have anything to say now.  I just thought before I posted my weight loss tomorrow, I could have something intellectual to say.

Okay, or just anything would work too...

Because it's a new month (or almost a week into a new month), we went back and looked at our goals we made in January to see our progress {or lack there of} and do some adjusting.

One of my goals was to sew on the weekends.  There was actually only ONE weekend in the past 5 weeks that I didn't get to sew.  THAT is a HUGE accomplishment for me!

I love to sew.

No, for real, I LOVE to sew!  I just never take the time to do it, which is why it was placed on my goal sheet.

My goal is to complete 3-5 Hooter Hiders each weekend (those would be nursing aprons for the more modest speaking of my friends), so I can accumulate quite a bit for the Spring Expo coming in May.

I love my hooter hiders. :)

I am definitely a breastfeeding advocate.  Advocate not nazi...  If for whatever reason, a mom doesn't or can't breastfeed, then that is their choice.  As long as they feed their baby, I am happy with them. :)  Most of my generation was formula fed, and we all turned out just dandy... :D

BUT, I am not a boob advocate.  Cheers to the moms who can breastfeed without anyone knowing, but for some of us larger, more clumsy mamas, I found that no matter how hard I tried, part of my large self kept peeking out for the world to see.  And no, I'm not concerned that my breast is showing as much as offending the person seeing my breast.

I also don't get those who feel it's necessary for the rest of the world to see their boob while breastfeeding.  I've got two of my own... no need for me to see yours.

I don't get how a breastfeeding breast is offensive, but I do get that a very large mama hanging out in many areas including the breast can be, so for that reason I love my Hooter Hiders.

Hmm... hope I didn't just offend anyone...

I am not an easily offended person.

But I do know of many breastfeeding moms who don't want anything to show, or any possibility of showing, no matter what their reasoning.

I first discovered Hooter Hiders by a mom of a baby I kept.  The mom is rich.  I mean, why beat around the bush.. she has money.  I loved her hooter hider and asked about it because I was pregnant with #2 at the time and after many 'showings' in public with my first, I thought I would get one.

Only to find out she paid $50 for one.

for ONE.

and she had a few.

I borrowed one of hers and took it to my incredible Aunt who can sew anything, and together we came up with a pattern to make them, for a LOT cheaper than $50.

I started making and selling them, giving one or two to a few close pregnant friends, and just love it.  I stopped for a while (like a YEAR...ugh), but wanted to get back into it.

Unfortunately now, you can get them almost anywhere, including Target (though theirs do not have some aspects that the more expensive {and my} nursing aprons do).

But I'm still making and selling them.  If it helps a mom feel better about breastfeeding in public, then yay. :)

So that's one of my sewing projects on the weekends, and in February I will be adding a quilt to it. :)

I love making time for sewing.

Time for me...

Even if the house gets ignored for a day or two... ;)
