Since I started my maternity leave last week on the 9th April, Ive been enjoying the late waking up timing (10am - 11am ish), the ample time I have to surf the Net for pregnancy videos, birth videos, reading other bloggers' birth stories and also doing up my crochet flowers.
In actual fact I wasnt intending to start my M.L early though but was advised by my SUP to take earlier as Im having this constant lower abdominal pain. Before anyone called me "LEMBIK", do imagine, liken having a bowling ball in between your legs while you tossed and turned in bed and getting up from a sitting position. Once I got up from that position, I would limp while walking and it takes a little while before I get my normal momentum in walking. Yes, all "ever-been-pregnant" ladies would always tell me," Oh..that's normal..."
I couldnt agree more but please respect that every woman goes through different pregnancy experience. Some have it easier, some have it more challenging. And being pregnant for the FIRST time at age THIRTY it is very challenging. It really irritate me especially when people have their own speculation that I should do this, I should do that... Haiz. I'll take the positive part anytime but other than that, I really cant be bothered. Right from my early pregnancy stage till now people always have issues with my tummy size, my overall size and whatever they can find fault with. WTVRrrr........ Some just cant wait to see me ballooned up to double my normal body size!
Ok,ok...Maybe I WILL grow FAT after delivery but insya Allah, I will wok hard to trim those fats down. HAPPY?
Like I mentioned earlier, now Im having ample time to continue with my crochet flowers. Each brooches or hairclips that I made are carefully handmade, sewn and immaculately prepared. I never have any problems with my customers before, Alhamdullilah. However, my recent incident with a customer forced me to put up her orders for sale. Hey look. I was very patience, waiting for her payment ($30 only) for ONE MONTH. Now, I guess I was just being too kind, always taking orders get the brooches & hairclips ready THEN I would ask for payment to be transfered. So when the flowers are ready, I sent 2 reminders to her for the payment and the 2nd time she promised to pay but nothing came. So after waiting for very long, I decided to sell off the brooches.
And Alhamdullilah, I managed to sell most of it and now only left with 2 dark brown,black & white. It 's definitely not easy to get ONE flower ready. After crocheting, I have to fix the pearlie beads and the pins for brooches. And each flower is meticulously sewn.
So...Its pretty heartbreaking when buyer/customer just go MIA, ya know. Well, on a positive note, I came up with a new design!
See those three gigantic flower brooches? OK, those are my latest edition. I am so "feeling2" wanting to put those heyuge flowers on my Lil'lady hairband! And those in the front rows are customers' order in brooches & hairclips. Im diggin' those rainbow ones! Im still taking orders by the way..... for as long as the Lil' Lady is still safely tucked in my tummy, I still can afford the time!
In the meantime...tangkap jambu dulu lah!!
