By now some of our readers may be wondering what happened to the other sister that used to post on this blog. By the title of the post you can probably guess. Our family is expanding once again! We are, the Lord willing, having another little baby at the end of May 2011. And that will make Gord and I the parents of six (yes, 6!) children.
I thought it would be fun to post a few links of other creative moms that also have six children. If only to assure myself that I will still have some time to sew.
Many of you will know the name Anna Maria Horner. Artist, fabric designer and mother of six. Visit her blog if you want serious inspiration.
I recently discovered Canela, a wife and mom of six and jewelry artist. Her jewelry is beautiful!
I've been following Kerri's blog for quite some time. She has a unique sense of style and colour. She too has six children and even finds time to operate an online fabric store.
I love Bonnie's blog Fishsticks and Fries! She too is a mom of six. She's written quite a few patterns and sews with knits. Her blog has valuable information for those wanting to improve their sewing skills.
This is all I know of for now.
Do you have a large family? Let me know. Do you know of any crafty mamas of six (or five or seven, whatever?) Let me know. Just for fun!
I am not a mom of six but a friend of ours is a mom of six and is an incredible seamstress. However all her children are now grown! In fact we have a number of friends who qualify for that title... crafty homeschooling moms of multiple children. Let's see there's Peggy, (not me) mom of 12, Debbie, mom of 8, Kim, (homesteading, one room cabin living, homeschooling, living off the land in Alaska) mom of 4 with one having special needs, and Rebecca, mom of 6 (farmer/gardener/seamstress/herbalist). None of them have blogs but they really have been an inspiration to me over the years!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Alisa! I had my suspicions after the last post about swim trunks as pjs. ;) I've really come to enjoy your blog, thanks for taking time out of your busy life to run it! I don't have a big family (yet) but I do have my second child due about a month before your sixth so I am sending you happy pregnant lady vibes. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a Mom with 6 children. Three I gave birth to and three came "special delivery" through foster parenting. :)
ReplyDeleteI only have two, well, for now. one of my best friends has five though and she still makes time for herself (and unfortunitly her husband is no longer in the picture so what an amazing woman!) I think family and quality friends are the trick!
ReplyDeleteYay, Alisa! Congrats! I just knew it when I saw you at the school today.
ReplyDeleteAs for crafty moms, well, my mom had 8 of us and she sewed us many a sunday skirt, etc throughout her mom-hood. You'll be just fine!
Jen:)

ReplyDeleteA huge congratulations to you! I have 4 children (3 under 3) and while I don't get in as much sewing time as I used to, I'd never trade it for the blessing of raising and teaching my children! :)
