slinging it

i don't usually post pics here of what i get in swaps (i'd be posting ALL the time and this blog would be five times as long) but i had to show you guys this cool baby sling i got in a swap from ptarmic wumpus at craftster! it's made of a gorgeous amy butler fabric and it's reversible (although i don't have a pic of the buttery soft brown it reverses to). it's possibly my most favorite thing i've received in a swap. it's super useful and beautiful.

i also wanted to show you guys this picture because it really shows my life these days. i've become one of those crazy moms carrying their kids all the time (even in the house). i guess the first step is to admit it: i'm a babywearing, breastfeeding co-sleeper (ahhh the co-sleeping thing has gotten to a whole new level too as we are now trying a bedside bassinet that only has three sides and opens to face the bed -- but that's another post).
