Countdown, Day 18: Onesies and tidbits
So, over the past couple of days, I've had a burst of creativity energy. Or maybe it's just that I'll do anything to distract myself from the fact that the babies still aren't here! (or maybe it's the burst of energy that precedes "real" labor for many women--please let it be that!)
So, here's the outcome!
A couple of weeks ago, I made some t-shirts and a onesie for my brother's brood. For another week, they'll have four under the age of three!
Other bits and pieces:
*Looks like I'm last in the baby line-up. Found out my old friend had her little girl last night! A short labor and a healthy baby, hurrah!
*This has been a really long week (understatement). I don't know how well I would have gotten through it without all of the people who have called to check on me. This morning, I had three in a row--as soon as I hung up, someone else would call--brother, husband, aunt. A great way to wake up!
Movie of the Day: Well, more technically, a TV series. I've really gotten into Jim Henson's The Storyteller. I think I may have seen it once or twice as a child. It's gorgeous. It's a little dark--more like Grimm brothers than Disney--and the stories unfold beautifully. There were two series, one on fairy tales and the other on Greek myths. The fairy tales are my favorite. John Hurt is a brilliant story teller. The stories are told with the rhythm and repetition of old fables. The sets are almost surreal, alternating between the story teller by the fire, watercolor sets, and more realistic sets, using live action and puppets, including some haunting sequences using shadow puppets.

"Come out here now! Don't MAKE me come in there!"
