There's just so much to do and my belly grows bigger each passing day! There are so many things happening now: I've finally got my America driver's license, yay!! It was a day after my birthday and I consider it a birthday gift from my Dad up there. Husband's been slacking on getting his stuff out of his former office and nursery-to-be. It pisses me off because I've offered to help but he refuses it. The damn room looks like one of those crowded rooms you would see in an episode of that Hoarders show. Talking about that, My studio is getting better organized slowly but surely. I'll be posting pictures soon.
In other news, I'm in the process of permanently deleting my Etsy accounts and shops. I'm fed up with their crap (we'll see how it goes). I'll be selling on Artfire and other marketplaces.
My latest items:

Fiskars Everywhere Punch Scalloped Circle Cartridge 2" (5 cm)

$10.00

 

 Old Charm Lace Tags

$5.00

And there's more.

Let's embroider and beautify our homes, ladies.

My life with GAD and without Lexapro.

For those of you whom might not know what GAD stands for, it is General Anxiety Disorder.

Ok, being without my med for like, what? 3 days now? Is really messing me up. I am not even worried about anything right now; At least not consciously. My muscles ache, I'm agitated, irritable and bitchy (poor husband, having to put up with my crap) and the rashes are driving me crazy!  Not to mention that I'm super blue right now and really aching for either a drink or a cigarette (or both!). But no, it's not going to happen! This shit is not going to get the best of me!

The whole thing is that dumb me only set an appointment with the shrink close to the end of the prescription and... anyways, I'm thinking about confronting that doc about his choice to put me on meds from the start instead of trying Cognitive behavioral therapy. Effing doctors!

It feels like I could have written Men at Work's "Overkill" song myself.

Overkill
Artist(Band): Men at Work

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know WE'LL be alright

Perhaps its just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
COME BACK ANOTHER DAY

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
THAT I know will be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Oh, and here are some patterns because none of you out there is to blame for my shitty problems. Enjoy! ;-) If you need help or a translation for this project, let me know.

Bolsinha de Feltro (Felt Bag)

Thank you for all the warm New Year wishes, ladies. I hope this will be a blessed year in the lives of each one of you and your family members.

E para as minhas amiga que falam Português (ou Espanhol, mas entendem o idioma um pouquinho ), que 2011 seja um ano de muitas benção para vocês e seus familiares.

Here are the last 2 kitty patterns. Actually, 3: Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy!

Thank God!

So it turns out all my worrying was in vain. Went to see my OBGYN, he performed the ultrasound and the baby is in great shape.No sign of sugar in my pee pee either which was great to hear!
The little thing was punching (literally) and was just doing his thing. It was SUCH a relief! He was  measuring 8.9 cm yesterday. I really don't know why I was so worried but seeing the baby made all the difference. Now I am just taking it easy. Been back crocheting and it feels good again. I'm off now. Ya'll have a super great day!

Ok, since yesterday was kind of a rocky day for me and I have been worrying about the baby because I started eating smaller portions at meal time because of the GD and such. I was feeling so week my husband took me to the ER. Everything was fine, they said, and my glucose was at 120. Still, until I get an ultrasound done and see the little one moving and doing his little dance, I won't have peace. Mama says I've been feeling weak because I'm used to eating as much as a peon and now I have to eat like a bird. lol Whatever, Ma! You're probably right.

I didn't post the Tuesday pattern and for that, I apologize. Here it is, along with the daily one and a little bonus. I hope you'll enjoy! XOXO

       

Some cool stuff to embroider or paint!

Coisas legais pra bordar ou pintar!

Do tempo da vovó

Sou fascinada pelos paninhos de prato de algodão com aqueles bordadinhos bem simples (ou pintados) e complementados com charmosos barradinhos de crochet que a gente encontra quando viaja pro interior ou coisa parecida. É claro que você pode bordar não somente paninhos de prato mas camisas, acessórios, o enxoval do bebê... As possibilidades são infinitas! Eu gosto de comprar pano de sacaria e fazer os meus. Aqui nos EUA a gente encontra pano de sacaria mas é meio caro...:o) Eu hei de encontrar uma alternativa.

Enfim, hoje eu quero compartilhar uns risquinhos com vocês. Espero que gostem.
