DIY gloves and soap that looks good enough to eat

I have been having some uber rough times the past few weeks but this week especially, my baby belly is giving me mega jipp, urgh. I actually thought I was going to go into labour last night, the pain was pretty gnarly :-/ I have also been tired like on a sloth scale and all I want to do is sleep and with a BP of 100/48 and aneamia then it's expected but still, it sucks a million dicks.
What they look like on :-)

I finished my first pair of fingerless mitts!! They look suuuuu cute on and are surprisingly easy to make, the technique needs perfecting, as with all the stuff I make as I actually want to prehaps make some to sell to make a little money to buy more materials and save for a course in dress-making or a crochet workshop? It's annoying I have a super sewing machine gathering dust when I could be creating some quirky couture :-p, but I just don't have the knowledge really. I will have to start using it again, it's ok to make stuff for me and friends but like I said, I'd like to make something of it oneday....?

The butterflies were sooo hard to do, I almost gave up.  Sweet tho!

YAYS!!!
Back to the mitts!! Ooops, I change subject in conversations too just as bluntly, even more so actually, it's a bad habit of mine and yes it's rude but once I have a bunch of stuff to say I have to get it out, or it'll dissappear out of my nose.

Urgh, my heartburn is so rank, I just bent over to check the oven and have that acidic burn in my ears D-':

Another creative thing that's been going on in this house lately is Pauls soap making! YES, Paul, making soap, you read that right. Chyeah I'm bound to be a teensy bit biased but I reckon for his first few attempts his soapies are real sweet and the latest lot look practically like the ones you'd see in those lil shops with the funky incense and thangs in. Ill put some pics up of his latest ones, then some of his earlier attempts and experimenting with shapes n putting things in the soap.



Top - Strawberry with lemon twirl, Bottom - Rhubarb & custard with candy drops

Yellow- Lemon, Purple - Parma Violet YUM, bottom - Rose





So there's a lot you can do! I think the shaped ones and the soap with the jelly babies in and the kitty in are awesome, Meh, I like 'em all!! But fingers crossed it's something else we can make a little money from and if all else fails at least we'll all smell nice!!

I so cannot wait until I have this baby, the discomfort I am in is constant and having one bubby after the other takes it's toll on the ankles, I have the dreaded.... CANKLES!! Yup, and it's a son of a whore I hate them! I can't wear anything other than flats really, major ouchies and my dresses are all too short to go over my bump. My wardrobe is seriously restricted right now. I'm actually looking forward to being able to workout and eat more healthily, I don't want to change my habits to drastically at the moment. I will wear a bikini next year dammit!!! If I can muster up the confidence first aha! Oh I also re-done my hair and the blonde is much blonder and the pink has faded a touch to a nice pastel pink underneath, I would post a pic but I took so many and I didn't look right in any of them, another time mebe!!

A linky you may enjoy playing if you're a movie buff or bored!

Fan of facebook? Star trek or both? It's cleverly done and funneh!!

I'm struggling to sit still and im tired, so goodnight and peace out!
