I'm doing 41 things
today my beautiful niece was born. my brother took my sister-in-law into hospital last night and she was in labour until early this afternoon when she ended up having a Caesarian section. mother and baby are doing well. i spent the day looking after my nephew and we went in to meet his sister as soon as we got the call. i got to hold her and he kissed her and stroked her hair. i’ve never held such a young baby before. she is so precious. a day to remember.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: i hadn't realised how important finding a good church is. i actually enjoy going to church most of the time now, and find it very helpful. it is very important to find one where the teaching is biblical and the people are friendly and inclusive. i've found it helpful to share lifts with another person so i am accountable to someone, and to get involved in a bible study too.

i made a very cute cardigan in cable stitch. i just need to buy some buttons and sew them on. i’m planning to make a hat to match as well. i learnt a couple of new techniques – buttonholes and mattress stitch. it took ages because i kept on leaving it for ages but it was actually ready in time! now that’s a first!
