I'm in huge baby love right now, wanting to make things for children unrealized as well as children impovershed. I just wanted to let you know I love what you do and I found a great christening shawl pattern in "Folk Shawls," which shows an elderly Irish woman holding a wee bairn in a lovely shawl designed for that purpose. Although I raise Shetlands, I bought a Merino fleece and am carding it in preparation for the shawl I will make (hopefully). I plan on dyeing it pale yellow with the natural cream as a border and you are my inspiration so thank you very much. I just wanted to let you know how awesome you are, Franklin.Lauren Dorsee Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162879010179005782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-36192417066921490472007-06-20T09:48:00.000-04:002007-06-20T09:48:00.000-04:00I love that picture.

It doesn't matter what it is as long as it doesn't hurt they're ears they love it.<BR/><BR/>Eventually they become critics though. ;)<BR/><BR/>The first song I sang to my son was.. Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison. Seriously. It was the only thing I could think of after 17+ hours of labour and many drugs at 3 in the morning on Christmas. I just sang the first verse and chorus over and over again to him until I finally fell asleep myself.<BR/><BR/>He loves the song still, and if he's crying and I sing it helps to quiet him, so what can I say?Arsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14420693394235630849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-88002306589956091152007-05-31T21:46:00.000-04:002007-05-31T21:46:00.000-04:00Oh how wonderful, Uncle Franklin!
