After a bit of a delay for the Christmas Holiday, I'm back to announce the winner of the Handmade Cranberry Cowl by Abby Dennis. The lucky name picked randomly out of the hat was Martha, who said, 
To inform you about this important event, here is an excerpt from the Mothers International Lactation Campaign Facebook page:"Facebook continues to classify breastfeeding photos as obscene content. They continue to arbitrarily remove these photos from member albums and profiles, accompanied by warnings of account termination. This is highly discriminatory and an affront to nursing mothers everywhere. In protest of this, Mothers International Lactation Campaign (M.I.L.C.) has planned a virtual day of protest.I hope that you will take a moment to participate in this online protest. While you're on Facebook, I'd love it if you'd add me as a friend! Cheers :)
Not only is human lactation responsible for the very survival of our species, it is in no way a sexually explicit, lewd or despicable act. It is also protected by law in most countries, including specifically the state where Facebook is headquartered in the USA.
In protest to the discriminatory and unjust policy of Facebook administration classifying breastfeeding images as obscene content, on December 27th, 2008 M.I.L.C. is asking all of you to change your profile picture for one day, to one which includes an image of a nursing mom.
This could be a picture of you or someone you know nursing a child, it could be a painting or image of a sculpture of a breastfeeding woman, it could also be a photo or image of any nursing mammal....We ask that you include the status line of "Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!"
In addition to this 'virtual nurse-in', there will be other events planned around the globe. Please check this page often for regular updates and added information. We will also be including images that you can use for your profile picture on December 27th.
Babies everywhere thank you for your support!!!!!"
Our bags are packed and sitting by the door, and first thing in the morning we'll be headed to Mississippi to spend five days with my family. I hope to keep up the blogging over the next few days, but just in case I become scarce around these here internet parts, I want to take this opportunity wish everyone a beautiful, love-and-joy-filled, delicious, peaceful, and safe Christmas. May all your wishes come true!
Kelly Rutherford, best known for playing Lily van der Woodsen in the CW teen drama Gossip Girl, is quoted in the December 29 issue of US magazine talking about breastfeeding her toddler while being pregnant with her second child. 
I recently discovered the talented and amazing Abby Dennis and I have to say I fell in love with her sumptuous handmade cowls instantly. Aren't her designs SO deliciously-warm-and-stylishly-cozy-looking? I love them so much that I immediately ordered one for myself, and Abby was kind enough to offer another one for a Marvelous Kiddo giveaway! That's right, the winner of this giveaway will receive this beautiful, versatile Knitted Cowl in Cranberry.

Today we were outside all day enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, and unwinding after a very busy couple of weeks leading up to the Our Time shows.
