Vaginormous!

VAGINORMOUS2

Ever since I birthed an eleven pound baby I've had this feeling that some people are thinking about my private parts, more specifically, the size of said parts. When I mentioned this to a friend she said "I didn't think that at all." Then, her husband reminded her of a cartoon they saw that said something like, "Congratulations Mr. Smith! You are the father of a twelve pound baby boy. Unfortunately your wife's vagina was destroyed." So, instead of letting these thoughts go unspoken, I have decided they need to be addressed openly, hence the VAGINORMOUS onesie. I haven't actually crafted this yet, but it's in the hopper. If you can't laugh about your vagina, what can you?

Mini Quilt Revealed

Here is the completed mini quilt that I posted the sneak peek of earlier. I made it for a trade with Tricia at Frizzelstixs. I got the cool painting shown here in the photo. When her package arrived I was surprised by the similarities between our two pieces. The size and shape are almost the same. The above-ground below-ground theme is similar. A central living organism is the focus of both. Pretty funny. I love me a coincidence. Thanks again Tricia.

Happy Mama's Day

To all the mamas, especially the breastfeeding ones. Thank goodness they make F-cup nursing bras--that's all I've got to say.

Part of my button-boob Venus series of cards. More at Flickr.

P.S. Thank you all for the sweet baby welcoming comments. There were so many!

Carlo means full-grown

Well, here we are. We're home after an amazing birth adventure. Our new guy is named Carlo, which literally means full-grown. This name wasn't on our list and just came to my husband at the hospital. When I got home I looked it up and laughed because Carlo was 11 lbs 2 oz, pretty full-grown for a newborn! His arm got broken on the way out, but it's already healing. Now onto the adventure of a two-kid home.
