my creative space: womb fruit

Womb Fruit

While I'm busy working away at my desk; painting a new commission, creating more fabric designs, doing an inventory of stock... below the desk, warm on the inside, I am busy creating something much much more.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant.

I'm in amazement at how it all happens, how fast it all grows, and how much pure creation occurs. Meanwhile all I'm doing towards this master project is drinking milk by the gallon, eating as much fruit and leafy greens as I can, and waddling along to yoga each week.

People in the know tell me so far I just look like I've eaten a big hamburger, pasta or pudding. And while I'm not denying having done all those things, what's actually happening is my womb is fruiting!

So now you know. I'm not gluttonous... I'm pregnant. :)

Once I get a little more time to myself I'll rejoin the blog world and get my art going again. Your work is still a huge inspiration to me. Good luck with mini-Flossy-p. Lots of virtual hugs your way!
