April Foolishness

Rabbit Rabbit! My DH, Kevin, is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, and I had the noive to ask HIM for a present; he is much more computer savvy than I am, so I asked if he could *pretty please with jam on it* try and figure out how to put my pictures in here. He said he'd try. (Ain't he sweet?)

I think I have decided to put the spike in the piece, and I thank Deborah and Liz for their comments on this issue! I started auditioning fabrics this AM, but feel like I'm lacking certain elements in my stash... so I thought I'd do some dying (haven't done much in YEARS) and the book I hit up for a refresher said DO NOT dye when you are hoping to get pregnant, and since I have meds coursing through my bloodstream and an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning, I guess that means me! Argh! Now I'm probably going to have to 'settle' for colors/fabrics/prints less than what I want for the piece. NOT what I wanted to wake up to.

Add to this that I definately overdid it yesterday, walking with my old roomie and her twins, and that my fibromyalgia is acting up as a result, and I am NOT being a particularly happy camper today, although that long nap and DH making lunch helped.

I joined the Weirdness challenge community on Yahoo groups though, and WOW are they a bunch of wackos! I love it! Some of my ideas are a little off the wall, but theirs aren't even attached to it! Hurray!!!!

About the whole 'winners' thing on the AQ boards (yes, I am still 94 posts behind, ok?): winning to me is anything that makes me proud of myself and my efforts. Being back on this list and opening my work (even without pictures) to all of you (and the world at large, I suppose!) is a big step for me, and I'm proud of it. Making my toy turtle a 'kilt' of her very own was good for me too - it was my first piece on my new Husky, and that represents taking myself more seriously (that and celebrating that I ran my Kenmore into the ground), so even that little bit of kitsch is something that I am proud of; not for what it is, but for who am for having made it.

Wow - send me back to that paragraph next time I get snarky on myself, ok? Enjoy!
