for everything there is a first time

_MG_0618_MG_0619

yesterday my friend gave birth to their son and i was lucky to be present. it was probably one of the most amazing gifts i have ever received, to be part of such strong and extremely intimate experience. it made me feel and think a lot...still overwhelmed i am digesting the experience.

another premiere was making my first quilt for the baby. no perfection but made with lots of love.   

cheers to that: new experiences, new life, new chapters. ♥

  3. Dearest Sara,
    congratulations (please, even to young mother and father)!
    Some happy ends are wonderful starts for something or somebody... new! Welcome little boy!

    I'm happy for you! And a little bit its like you are still in that special area? In that space where things happens with us and without us, they just happens. Wondering.

    Your quilt is wonderful, pretty and full of love.

    xo Ariane.

  5. that must have been so amazing. it is bound to leave a person highly affected, and pondering many things/feelings.

    made with love is always the best.

    And so beautiful quilt you have made! i made a sleeping bag for my coming tiny one. far from perfection, but the thing; made with love, is more important, i think:)

  11. jag vill också göra ett lapptäcke men jag drar mig för att det verkar så svårt. är det svårt? du har valt mycket fina tyger. glad påsk!

  12. inside the sleeping bag or inside my belly;)
    about the gender, i have a strong feeling it´s a girl, but i guess it´s because i am a girl? S. has a very strong feeling that it´s a he, which might be cause he is a he.. it´s still a mystery for us, and that´s also nice. something stays as a secret till that premiere day, or how could one call that..?
    sending lots of love to you too!!!

  15. madeleine, nejdå det är inte så svårt, men utmanande! ;)

    theresa, indeed, it was and still is!

    outi, oh yes, what a mystery! i am also so curious about the name. and if you have suggestions. my friends where so sure it would be a girl that they did not think of many boys names. and now...they are waiting for the 'right one' to pop up! sleeping bag! show us! ♥

    elianne, mag je zeker! oh, kinderen en ik is een ingewikkelde verhaal. maar tja, ik denk toch dat ik het begin te voelen. dat ik wil...? of tenminste mijn lichaam!
    ik vind JOU deken prachtig!

    eefje, ja heel mooi!
