Today there is only 1 little fishy. Apparently the mother is eating her babies, at least 29 of them to date.
Prior to having children of my own, this sort of infanticide would have sent a shiver to my core. But now I am a mother I kinda get it. It is not that I condone the eating of one's off-spring, it is just that I understand there are so many laws of nature that we have no control over.
And raising children is kind of the same, you can feed them vegetables, teach them to say please and wipe their own noses. And that is about it, at the end of the day the laws of the jungle will effect them more, I think. Yeah, yeah, I am sure that I count for more, but may be I am not so sure.
On a lighter note, it was Emily's birthday on the weekend, impetus enough to get me into the attic and to make her an obligatory log cabin cushion (seems to be the 'birthday present du jour' around here). Here is a snap shot of the pillow and the birthday girl in the middle (sorry Em).

hey, thanks for stopping by my blog. Love the cushion, I'm dying to have a go at one. I was thinking of making one for a girlfriends daugther who is turning 6. I was thinking of adding a number 6 applique like these one's done by bird in hand http://www.flickr.com/photos/57854449@N00/111705749/in/set-72057594079824706/
Well, if the price I have to pay for now being the proud owner of a Pokohontas log-cabin cushion is having a baaaadddd photo of me on the internet, then you've got yourself a deal! I totally adore it.
But that's awful about the fish....
I love your log cabin pillow, it's great. I was really excited to see you had baby fish, then astonished they all got eaten!
What a cushion! Such beautiful colours. Is that Eiffel Tower print again something you did by yourself?
I think you are right about the jungle, my child already calls me "okasan" which means "mother" in Japanese...
