waiting for tiarra

artrishtic — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:42:24 +0000

finally, a post! after almost a year… i was buried in reports, projects for the shop, wedding plans, grieving periods, and housekeeping. and now i am due to pop anytime! hahah! yes, we are awaiting the delivery of our first babyboo tiarra! but right now i am still at home, getting ready and trying to think of ways on how to make her come out. sssss talk about impatience! well, we are all really excited to see her and it overcomes all my anxiety about our delivery. bags are packed, car seems fine, and daddyboo has been a very supportive father. he has been taking care of me and tiarra even as she was a a dot in my uterus. there’ve been challenges along the way and there will be more. but we found that being sour doesn’t make it go away. it’s by talking and deciding together and by taking baby steps. sigh! i wish and hope tiarra will be strong, healthy, and happy baby. babyboo, when are you coming out to see us? we welcome you with warm loving arms.

great sites!

i stumbled upon these two sites. one is JManuel’s - Manuel Papel - a cut paper artist. his works are amazing… very detailed…

and another is a site of three wonderful kids Isaac, Grace and Lily – Chicken Nugget Lemon Tooty. i don’t have words to describe how very talented they are.

it’s inspiring to browse through their sites. i feel the need to create something. i’ll be cooking up projects for the shop soon.

drew on the go!

it used to be like this…

i bought this a while back from Reg of Wedgienet.net. this cupcake bears tumbler was sold at a very reasonable price. i also bought sushi stickers from her. the package came with a free button pin [which i kind of misplaced :S. i think someone took it]. anyway, the design comes off as you unscrew the top. and you can design it yourself if you want. i’ve been itching to do my own [since i saw the starbucks diy tumblers] and i found that opportunity when my Pet Society birthday competition entry failed to place. i recycled my work and voila!

wanting to explore beyond pet society, drew decides to travel thru my tumbler

my first attempt to place paper cut art in my d.i.y. tumbler. that’s drew, my pet soc pet, dressed up as a wonderful froggy.

lulu’s not yet going home. she was so ready to get out of the hospital yesterday. she was dancinv and all. but then she had some fever today. apparently due to an infection. so she’s under observation again and back to antibiotics. poor lulu. she might stay for at least a day more.

Lulu Update

artrishtic — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:35:55 +0000

lulu is now allowed to sit. i guess her stitches must be quite healed and ready. but she’s still on a liquid diet – which ticks her off. her appetite is poor. well, i would show the same aversion if i’ve had tasteless soup for 5 days. hehehe… mom said she hasn’t pushed out bowel yet coz of her diet. we have yet to wait and observe how she does when permitted to eat solids as her intestinal surgery is safe to try out. the doctor has no word yet on when she’d be able to eat on a balanced diet nor when she’ll be dismissed. i hope it won’t take too long. and, that her body will cope well. i believe by then she’ll be very excited to share her experience especially when she goes back to school. being her talkative self, i will probably hear never-ending stories. until then

operation hirschsprung

artrishtic — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:10:37 +0000

lulu was taken in for operation at 5pm. a biopsy was taken from her large intestine to make sure of the exact part where her nerves were inactive. surgery has been done to remove the said part to make her poo easily. hopefully she’ll be able to recover fast. and surely no more tummy troubles.

Lulu sick

artrishtic — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 10:31:34 +0000

lulu’s at the hospital today. she’s being treated for Hirschsprung’s Disease. it’s a congenital sickness. symptoms include constipation, malnutrition, and uncomfortable tummy. a biopsy will be taken to confirm if her large intestine has ganglion cells responsible for nerves to mobilize waste and cells to absorb nutrients. if she has the disease, she’ll be undergoing surgery.

hope she’ll be fine. she has the finest doctors in town. guardian angels be with her.
