i found some time for sewing yesterday. i really wanted to do bags, puppets or thai trousers, but needed more time and fabric for that, so instead i made two pouches! it was much fun making them, with lining and everything. :0)
i read a book in spain called "bad things (don't just happen to other people)" by michael marshall, people were raving on about it, how good it was and what not, and i found the book a real disappointment (and i'm easy to please), the story didn't really resolve, throughout the book i kept wanting to understand what had exactly happened and then by the end i still didn't really know! weirdly, however, i did really enjoy his style of writing, just not so much the story and plot line. these are the passages i liked:
ok, freshly cut and varnished toes, and i post this specifically because it is REALLY really difficult to cut and paint your toenails with a pregnant stomach in the way!
and these are some pregnant pictures of me in my fullest hippo-like glory, i actually don't like how i look much, but i'm posting them anyways as a sort of affirmative/ acceptance practise move, also, look at the pretty nature, that too was devil's dyke in hove.
Hi Tam,
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely lovely! Pregnant women don't understand how beautiful they are - You're creating! I think it's a state of perfection.
All my best.
Lorrie
thank you sweet lorrie, for the affirmation, i enjoy the pregnancy process, but sometimes have a moment of; oh no me=hippo and then i move on again. ;) thank you though for your gentle comment and care. x
ReplyDeleteI'v been pregnant lots of times (!)and it never ceases to amaze me the incredibleness (is that a word?) of it all! You look absolutely gorgeous and you'll be so happy to look at these pictures in a few years. My babies are all big now and I still wonder where they came from!xx
ReplyDeleteha ha jessie!! a lot of times eh!! how many kids do you have? thank you for your sweet sweet comment, means a lot to me! big hugs! x
ReplyDeleteTam - You look gorgeous!! Get as many pics as you can while you are pregnant - I know it can seem like you are pregnant forever, but it all goes by so fast in the end...
ReplyDeleteI had my mom take nude shots of me when I was in my last month - I was in the jacuzzi batch in her master bathroom and I posed with some covering my "private places" and a few with everything showing. I'm really glad I have them....
You're not a hippo, you're a mother!!
Love, -sam-
thanks sam! :) i'm glad i'm taking the pics definitely, just don't like how my face also seems pregant! ;) ehehe. x
ReplyDeleteI agree with elbowgrease - pregnant women don't see how beautiful they are. Too much social pressure to be thin. Grr.
ReplyDeleteI heart Bill Bailey too! His mind boggles me.
thanks Tara! :)))
ReplyDeletehis mind is indeed boggling, lol! x
You look great! I hope you feel well. This is a hard time of year to be pregnant. And I am loving your art work!
