working on cards

For Ayanna's birth announcement I made a lino cut out (stamp), see above. 

I want to do the same for our baby boy. However with this second pregnancy I notice to have a lot less time on my hands for creative hours. Eventhough I was working last pregnancy and now stay at home.

Tell me how you all do it! So many bloggers out there that have the most amazing blogs, art work and stories while having children around. Any great advice?! 

I am working on the new announcement card and have made good progress, despite the 8 month belly being in the way.  It is a follow up on this above card, can;t wait to show you.

Now back to work...

What a sweet announcement, and Happy Belated Birthday to your beautiful little girl. I think life is just busy when you have a toddler or two. I've said that it was easier with my twins (children 5 & 6) than it was when I had my first two, who were 17 months apart. They only had me to care for them, entertain them, play with them. When I had the twins though, I had 4 others that helped occupy them on and off all day.
It still goes by too quickly, although I know some days don't feel as if they'll ever end :-)
Blessings,
Marcia

I don't know how I did it when my daughter was tiny! Night times, nap times - and I had one day of daycare that I devoted to my own art&business... but from what I can see here, your creativity/artfulness is abundant and centres around your mothering - that is so beautifully, completely enough!!!

Het moederschap is prachtig, het mooiste wat er is. Maar het is ook soms gewoon heel erg zwaar, vooral als er meerdere kinderen in je huis rondlopen en je het gevoel hebt dat je jezelf een beetje aan het verliezen bent (ik ben hier momenteel druk bezig 9 weken schoolvakantie te overleven). Probeer gewoon te accepteren dat je niet alles tegelijkertijd kunt doen, dat er soms dingen bij inschieten, je huishouden, en soms ook je creativiteit. Het is zo'n mooie tijd als ze klein zijn en jouw tijd komt weer als ze naar school gaan en wat meer geregelde tijden hebben.
