Tropical Paradise Tag and Other Fun Creations
Creativity is not a driving force. It happens. It creates itself and you have to be open.
-Mayumi Oda, artist and writer
Keeping my hands busy while I'm lying around bringing this little baby to full term has given me some opportunities to craft that I might not have taken otherwise. Here are some recent creations:
Queen for a Day Tag
3 Mini Tags
Or as my Bella {age 3} likes to say, "baby tags"

Book Review: Diary of a Midwife
Diary of a Midwife by Juliana van Olphen-Fehr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this book in four days. It was very well written and I enjoyed the birth stories. It was laid out nicely and easy to follow. I hope she does a follow up book to let us know more of the changes she has made in the medical community for paving the way for midwives and home births.
