more on pomengranates

i'm glad you all liked the pomegranate from yesterday. pomegranates are prized in iran, egypt and indian cultures. it's an obvious symbol for fertility. it's high in fiber, vitamin c, and anti-oxidants. pomegranates remind me of my mom. she would let me peel it and take out every seed, it was usually eaten after dinner, as it also helps with digestion.

i am taking part in a art show and craft sale at a local midwifery group, called quite appropriately, pomegranate midwives. i love this idea of mother's that are artists/crafters coming together to celebrate our work. midwife's are wonderful people, don't get me started on the woman who brought ollie into this world, well besides me of course,...

our crafting night was alot of fun. i accomplished hand-stiching half of a bird. i spent half the night just staring at my fabric. i didn't want to work from a pattern so i just winged it (so to speak, sorry!...) my p busied himself with making his craft. burning dvd's for all the ladies. he's a bit of a comedienne. my friend j started knitting a complicated (to me!), 4 yarn teddy bear. i am a very basic knitter = lots of rectangles. my friend r made 5 pillows in a few short hours! must be the 2nd trimester energy she has going for her. m decided on mending some jeans she has, she did a great job, you couldn't even tell they were altered.
p decided to entertain us by showing us a video on youtube of the kids in a japanese library who are having a contest to see who can do the weirdest things while maintaining their composure. how you seen this? one guy had to eat a whole cone of wasabi. not fun. ouch.
