<br />
I
remembered that, in those early days, when the pregnancy was new and
already announced to anyone in hearing distance, I'd said silly things
about how I didn't understand how people could have such trouble
conceiving; it had been as easy as falling off a log. I remembered being
blind to the prevalence of miscarriage; I thought it was rare. And so
of course, when the pregnancy failed to progress past week 6, I was
ashamed of my pride, my hubris, and angry at myself for not being able
to do this thing that Everyone Else did so easily.<br />
<br />
I was talking
to a friend who'd gone through fertility treatment (successfully), about
my worries, my sadness, the days I couldn't focus on anything else for
missing the child I thought I'd have, and wanting to hold one in my
arms. Only mine; I couldn't look at other babies, couldn't walk by
pregnant women without a visceral reaction. I'd made it all the way to
the door of a friend's baby shower and then fled. I went to children's
birthday parties and play performances and thought about what Alice was
missing, how she'd never have a first anything. I cried a lot in those
days, at my desk, and my sweet office mate was kind enough not to
mention it.<br />
<br />
I didn't, until my miscarriage, know how many people I
was surrounded by had been through this. It is a secret sisterhood that
suddenly welcomes you with empathetic arms. Ten. I know of ten women in
my immediate circle who have suffered pregnancy loss. I had thought it
was two, at the time. The actual estimates are that between 20 and 25%
of pregnancies don't result in live birth. There are more of you out
there; please know you are not alone.<br />
<br />
"You think that this will make you a perfect mom, but you are still human, you will still make mistakes."<br />
<br />
I
was still haughty about things I didn't know, even sitting there,
talking to someone who'd been through all that I had (and more,
honestly; much more); I thought she was crazy. I'd promised myself I'd
be the perfect mom, that I would deserve a child, should I get lucky
enough to have one. I would do everything right. I believed I had
somehow deserved to lose Alice, that I hadn't wanted her badly enough,
or that I was being punished for the stupid things I'd said. <br />
<br />
Somehow
inside me, my whole life, a little egg that would be my son was laying
in wait, tiny as a dot. In fact, in those first secret months, we called
him Umlaut. I was four months pregnant before we told anyone he existed
because I was so afraid if I said it out loud, he wouldn't anymore.<br />
<br />
I'm
not a perfect mom. I make mistakes like everyone else. Some days, I
don't even know the right thing to do, and I worry that some mistake I
make is going to ruin my son. Some truths you learn through experience; I
am still human. Here are two more: I neither deserved to lose my first
pregnancy, nor earned my second through guilt or repentance. <br />
<br />
I know how to love, I have learnt it from the strangest moments, unexpectedly. I am imperfect at it, but I keep learning.<br />
<br />
You
who have lost your little ones, you are not alone. You who are trying
to conceive, you have friends here. Feel what you feel, as long as you
need. And then find a way to keep going.<br />
<br />
And those who
have finally welcomed a little one into your home, remember, it's a
marathon, not a sprint; birth is a beginning, not the finish line. Be
easy on yourself those moments you don't live up to your expectations,
and be easy on your children those moments they are imperfect, too.
You're learning how to love a whole new way. You can do this. <br />

A new location this year, across from Sprout (a farmer's market in a renovated church) on smooth, old cement instead of last year's asphalt. So much smoother, so much easier to get fields of color and fine detail. It was a really fun event this year. Contact <a href="http://www.eugenespringfieldartproject.org/">ESAP</a> for details on entering the 2016 Springfield Art and Chalk Fest. <br />

Let's make some paper!<br />
<br />
Take scrap paper and, with your kid, tear it up and put it in a blender with some hot water. We used a couple of mis-printed sheets from the printer, a bit of cardboard, two pieces of junk mail, and a sheet of purple construction paper. The trick is: the blender blades have to turn freely, so don't jam-pack the blender and use lots of water.<br />

Kids can sponge gently to remove excess water. Here, my now-gigantic, soon-to-be-kindergartener kiddo sponges our screened paper.<br />

Flip it over on felt, polyester, or polypropylene cloth (heck, linen would probably work, too), then press from the back with a sponge (kids can do this part, too!) (The kiddo is developing his photography skills; these are nicely framed, I think.)<br />

Carefully lift screen, helping paper separate by pulling gently on the corner. Once the entire screen is separated from the paper, leave it to dry.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And once it's dry, you can cut it into two equal pieces . . . or more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The resulting paper will vary in thickness and texture, depending on your pour, and color, depending on your source materials. Ours feels a little like egg carton cardboard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nice textural quality; the screen leaves crosshatch marks on the surface, which look great when rubbed with a crayon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's all there is to it! The materials used don't have to be expensive. We used a small window screen from the recycled building materials store (99 cents), some kitchen sponges, and a polypropylene sack. Serviceable and fun for a summer project! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're going to try this at the preschool's day camp this month, too, but using hand mixers; the low-tech kind with a hand crank (go go fine motor skills!). I'll try to remember to post the results for those who want to give it a try!</div>

Every year, the parents of Eugene's Parent-Child Preschool put on a theater production to entertain and educate the kids, and help raise funds for the school. This year's production was <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i>. It was an ambitious production, but we made lots of cool stuff! For more info about the school and to look at a gallery of past production posters, you can visit the school's site at <a href="http://www.eugenepreschool.org/">www.eugenepreschool.org</a>.<br />

So. That was an unexpected hiatus. Have I mentioned I was on the board of directors at my kiddo's preschool this year? I volunteered to be the publicity lead, which was great. And also a lot of work. I made some great stuff this year, and I want to share it all with you, but I'm going to take it easy as I make my reentry into blogging. <br />
<br />
Having dropped the kiddo off at day camp for a couple of hours, I went on an errand binge. The last place I stopped wasn't on my list, but it's one of those places I always want to stop until I do some mental math and calculate the cost of imaginary damages my offspring might commit.<br />

<a href="http://www.thevintageindustry.net/">The Vintage Industry</a> is kind of an antique mall, with separate stalls set up for different vendors. It's just floor to ceiling packed (two floors), and many of the vendors have an amazing ability to style their spaces. A few, not so much, but in every corner there's good stuff to find: mother-of-pearl buttons, embroidered handkerchiefs, library drawers, locker baskets . . . Okay, I'll shut up now and disgorge the cell phone pics (it's true; I'll never learn).<br />

<br />
This piece for the Metamorphose show had a canvas-covered frame. The idea of <a href="http://nightgardendesign.blogspot.com/2014/07/sun-printing-on-fabric-seriously-best.html">sun-printing</a> the fabric didn't work out perfectly, but the photos of the process look lovely.<br />

I bought one last year and I bought one this year, and I'm fine with it. The wreaths are pretty and they smell good, and the school gets a nice chunk of the proceeds too, unlike with those magazine and candy sales I did as a kid.<br />
<br />
Here's the thing: wreaths are relatively easy to make, and very inexpensive if you have access to evergreens. If you want more than one wreath for your house and school fundraisers are too expensive, give it a go. Here's one I made.<br />

I used rosemary branches, some angry, pokey evergreen branches from a tree out back. and some little cedar twigs that got blown down in a windstorm.<br />

<br />
The wire wreath form is from last year's wreath. It's called a soft clamp wreath frame, if you need to order one. I just used some pliers to pull open the prongs last year, composting the old evergreens and storing the wreath form to recycle this year.<br />

Tuck additional branches in to cover the wires, and hang it on a nail, ribbon or hook.<br />

My wreaths sometimes look a little asymmetrical, which I like. If you don't, trim yours till it looks right to you.<br />
<br />
Okay! That's all from here. Kid's got the flu so I'm off to do another load of laundry. Be well!<br />
