I think you have many beautiful talents. From the outside looking in I see a beautiful mother to six children who would do anything for each one of them.
I envy your ability to project calm when the inside is so shattered.

"I think maybe I have a talent for appearing calm and collected,when actually beneath the surface I'm treading water frantically"

So you are a swan then! Looking graceful and composed to everyone whilst working really hard to get what you need under the surface. Not a bad way to be :o)

sewing, design, color, creating fabric designs... Many more I'm sure, but those are the ones I know about from the sewing group :)

you make beautiful things!! That's a talent.

pretty damn good seamstress and all! You have a really good eye for creating the most pretty things. You are a very talented writer too (and also at saying the right thing to another babylost mama) I think you must also be pretty amazing at organisation to be able to do everything that that you do with that many kids :P

I think one of your main talents is as a mum - you are amazing.

I second what everyone else said, but how could you not mention your sewing abilities. You're super clever.
xo

I enjoy seeing your knitting projects, and most anything else you create.

You are so much more though. You are SO creative. And sew SO much better than I do. Have so much more patience. I love how you make your own clothes and pull them off! If I made my own clothes I'de look like a strange freaky thing.
And you must be a pretty amazing mum to look after all those children AND do the above as well. I am in awe of you. Honestly.

I feel this too, you arent alone
