what’s new with me? hmmm.
I am finally living in my new house. Since March 28th actually. But just bought mirrors today and are you really living if you have no mirrors? Finally set up my studio last week, it’s not quite organized but I stopped myself from tinkering any further with my label maker, and am doing some actual sewing for the next week. Next (this?) weekend is The Clothing Show. My ninth? It wasn’t all shit talk either- 2010 is about the purge- so loads of tank tops out of whatever I got, embellished with whatever I got. As usual, I am getting side tracked by creativity, and being not nearly as sweat shoppy as I should be. I’m all la di da, ooh pretty, ooh shiny. I haven’t seen any of my fabrics or trims for a year and it’s all very inspiring and distracting. It’s times like these that I really do need that tattoo on my wrist. Which loosely translated, means “of ones own initiative” aka “ACTION!” My should-be-working-constantly guilt is beginning to return.
Loenne turned ONE on April 30th! Wowzas, eh? She is a very sweet little lady. She says Ba! (ball, about a 1000 times a day lately) and Mama and Dada- we’re not sure if she knows what they mean but who cares. Sometimes she says “Mamamamamamamamamamamama” And hey, that’s what she wants to call me, that’s cool. She can point to her nose, eyes, ears, feet and shoes! If you ask her “What does an owl say?” She says “Hoo. Hoo”. So funny. She claps and waves and dances like crazy. She doesn’t crawl yet! Or walk! I am trying not to let this bother me (but it does) just because, you know, everyone is always comparing baby achievements. She pulls herself around quite speedily while sitting on her ass so that’s just how she rolls, I guess. It will all happen soon enough. Her favorite foods these days are oranges, apples, meatballs, yoghurt, and bran flakes in milk. That’s the one she yells for lately, maybe the first thing she’s ever yelled for. She is very funny, very cute. Her Daddy can get her on a real roll of giggling and it’s the best
Here she is on her first birthday-
For kicks, here she is at one day old-
My little Loenne. What a difference a year can make!
Bye for now.
