Happy first week of MMMay16 everyone! If youve been taking part, how have you found it so far? Any discoveries or lessons learnt? My challenge has been going well. Ive surpassed by pledge by not wearing any secondhand knitwear (which I had allowed occasional use of in my pledge). However, putting on my borrowed, mass-produced maternity jeans and trousers each day somehow feels like a cheat, even though I feel it would be pointless and a waste to try making a bunch of maternity trousers for such a limited time when I already have all of these other pairs at my disposal. So Ill just have to get my head around that.

Its been really fun having Dolores involved this year too, although getting her to cooperate with the photos isnt always easy. Ive been sharing daily documentation pics of her outfits only on Instagram as well, which has been more fun than trying to get awkward selfies of myself!
