Very much depends on the kid. For my eldest, we got down to just a bedtime session at 17 or 18 months. I realized that she wasn't really asking to nurse anymore, if anything I was chasing her around to get her to nurse and settle down for bed, and I was starting to feel a little resentful. So one day I just didn't offer, snuggled and rocked her instead. Took a little longer to get her to bed, but after that she was done. My second is almost the same age now, but SUCH a different kid, and I don't see her stopping anytime soon.

Pillow fort, baths, messy art? (Ok maybe messy art and THEN baths)

Thank you! This is how the cover quilt for the pattern was quilted and I totally fell in love with it.

Thanks! It's called Interstellar by Tiffany Taylor, it was in the Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine issue 96.

Felt like I was battling the machine most of the time, but made it through! Sewn completely on my (uncooperative but cherished) treadle Singer 66.

Same here, we're not rural enough to get grant money but not suburban enough to get cable. And everybody who says Hughesnet is fine has definitely never used it. I could never have worked from home through the pandemic if we hadn't gotten starlink.

Oh my gosh the ducks!! I love the colors. I like doing BOMs but I am very bad at keeping up.
