birthday morning

On her birthday, I told Lluvia she was 5 now and she said, "I am? I couldn't even tell."

Love Fest

Lluvia has been so sweet recently. She has been telling me over and over how much she loves me and likes to spend time with me.

Which is really nice because I am getting mentally fatigued of waiting for this baby. I know she will come when she's ready, but *I* am so ready. Ah, well, "the bird of paradise alights only on the hand that does not grasp," right?

Cute skirt + lluvi love

Here's the pic of the skirt I made her, finally. It was a little restricting since I didn't think to put a slit in it, but she figured out how to run and play in it and didn't take it off for a couple of days, so I think it passed the test.

Here's what Lluvi said to me today about why she loved me:

-your belly is pushy

-you have a baby in your belly

-your brown eyes are so beautiful

-when i say i love you, you say it back

and the list went on, but those were the cutest/funniest ones.

Good germs...

"The good germs are watching TV inside my body."

Sewing wish list

Making some skirts for Lluvi and the babe tonight and I have come up with some things that would be helpful:
Seam ripper -- very necessary given my skills and level of distractedness!
iron -- i'm usually too lazy to iron anyway, but i know it makes things go so much better
I'll post my creations later.

Yes, more birth art

My first attempt at using paint & pastels together. Not what I expected, but I like it.
