I choose that title because I regret a bit... I regret how I approached my pregnancy time:)
And I actually started to think about it because of my last order.
I got a special commission for a necklace from a pregnant girl.
She prepares herself very carefully for motherhood in all its aspects. And she even thought about mother's jewellery. Though this necklace is going to be a nursing necklace.
I showed her plenty of colourful patterns: strawberries, owls, dots and more.
She grabbed the embroidered necklace and said: Well I like this it has a nice texture.
It strikes me. She thought about a texture for a little hands to touch. I did not go in such a detail. I just carried on with my life, shouting around that I hate to be pregnant. What can be nice about it? All day sickness, limited mobility, different sex life, eating loads, people touching my bump all the time, tiredness......
I was wrong. So terribly wrong. And silly.

Celebrating your pregnancy is extremely important! I did not know. I did not feel that way. I wish I was fully aware about that when I was expecting.....
Maybe I would get myself to make hundreds of photos of my belly growing - despite of my silly thoughts that it was bigger and bigger only because I committed a sin of eating enormous amount of food.
Maybe I would make some little booties, crochet hats and vests, toys, socks et cetera.....
Maybe I would play Her more classical music and would tell more stories about Moomin's.
Or perhaps I would sing to Her more often. Or I would find out more about birth to avoid medical intervention in a hospital. And I would have Little Bee at home. Maybe....
Do not get me wrong. I did think about that stuff and made an effort. Just from the time perspective it seems to be e bit foolish of me to not prepare better. Perhaps I did not find a right person to talk to and did not read the right book.
I am just trying ti fix it now and cherish motherhood truly.

Anyway I am so keen to design this very unique piece. Let's start then.
