P is for PERFECTLY PINK ‘PLACEMENT PART….

Seeing as how I’m having a hysterectomy next Tuesday, Matthew from our knitting group, made me a womb and presented it to me last night.  As you can see, it’s complete with two ova and three smiling “swimmers”.  (For size reference, that’s a “venti” cup of herb tea supporting it.)  I joked that I ought to embroider on my c-section scars and fibroids and “tie” the tubes. 

I think Matthew should enter it (or another one; he’s got a few in progress)  into the Knitty calendar contest.  What do you think?  You’re allowed to alter the pattern as long as it’s still recognizable as that pattern.  I think it would end up in the calendar for sure.  Hmmmm.  I’m tempted just to enter it for him, but that wouldn’t be right.

The Tooth Fairy made another visit last week….

Look at how crooked the new ones are.  I fear this kid is going to need braces in the future.  Her top right (your right) middle tooth is loose, too, so now she’s focused on “working” that one.  I tell ya, at a dollar a tooth, this kid’s going to be rich!
