Hello gorgeous people!
Here I am in my Plinka Pants by Tina Givens. Made with the first pattern I've downloaded from the internet.
Unfortunately the fabric wasn't robust enough for the ruffles, and the weight caused the side seam to split. I had to remove them:-(
But the resulting shorter pants are so versatile. I'm living in them! And they are great with boots.
Just goes to show mistakes can be useful!
I am following the Rise and Write writing link up of Out of the Writer's Closet.
Every day we write for 5 - 10 minutes on the daily prompt. I am being unusual and writing poetry. Here are the first three!
Day 1. Write about the first thing you see when you open your eyes in the morning. Is it something in your room? Is it a photograph? A cat? A person? The world outside of your window?
When I open my eyes
I see a beautiful blur
Without my glasses
The world is all fuzzy
All the detail is missing
And edges have auras
Magic is possible
In my soft misty world
All is not definite
Or defined
There is a sense
Of the mysterious
Of something unseen
Something hidden
But wonderful
Yet to discover
A feeling of wakening
A world still unfolding
Where only the wondrous
Will finally be revealed
Day 2. Write about the first bouquet of flowers you received (or gave to someone). What flowers they were? Do you remember their smell? Were they from a garden, field, market? You may also write about the flowers you did not receive (or gave) – of a disappointment.
The first bouquet of flowers I ever gave
Was to my husband
Oh, he wasn't my husband then
I turned up at his door and presented them
He opened it wide with surprise
I wasn't sure if he was surprised to see me
Or surprised by the flowers
He is a man after all
But he was delighted
And I thought why can't a man
Who loves nature
And works in forests
Love nature's smaller gifts
The brighter ones
Besides just trees which are big
And masculine
So he received flowers
And you know
That day
I knew he was for me
Because he didn't reject them
Or the idea
He didn't posture or grimace
Or act uncomfortable
He just loved and treasured them
And their beauty
And you know what?
He loved me!
Day 3. Write about your first visit to a dentist – or the most memorable one. Do you remember the dentist’s face, voice, the smell of the office? Do you remember your pain, fear, or a pleasant feeling of knowing that you are taking a good care of your teeth?
Eeeeeee
Aaaaaaah
Oooooooo
Says the boy
Xeeeee
Zaaaaaah
Zoooooo
Says the drill
Eat me
I'm yummy
You want me
Says the sweet
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Bizzzzzzzzz
Buzzzzzzzzz
Clean your teeth!
I'm just loving this. It helps having a topic set. I'm even setting my alarm ten minutes earlier so I can do it!! I know!
Hope you all enjoyed my first instalment. More to come!
Pop over and visit the others.

Why not leave a three word impression (poem) or a smiley if you enjoyed your visit? :-D
A packed post - a dress-maker, a mistake exploiter, a poet, a face finder and several beautiful stories! Loving it :-)
ReplyDeleteHaiku for you:
ReplyDeleteMonday dawns crimson
Friends leave creative sparks
Thank you for playing
;-)
Love your poems! Don't stop!
Love those pants (with or without the ruffle!) and your writing. That fuzzy first view of the world is all too familiar, before the contacts go in! xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these pants. If I could sew, I would make myself a pair. Are they hard to make?
ReplyDeleteI love the poem concept. The flower one touched me very much.
ReplyDeleteMy dear! I am sooo happy that you joined in and loving it - and I am loving all of your creativity here! The pants are gorgeous, really exceptional. I can see why you live in them! Love both ways, but even better shortened. Mistakes don't exist, as my daughter teaches me. :) We just do what we believe is right. What a concept!
ReplyDeleteLove the poems, all three of them. They are so you - the unique, brave, bold, creative, sensitive and fun you. The last one made me smile. Great sounds! The flowers one is very touching! Please, keep writing and sharing! Kisses and hugses! xxx
I love your creations, no wonder you're living in those pants, they are absolutely fantastic. Hoorah for free downloads.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry is fantastic (and I rarely find poetry I like) and the punk fire irons ROCK! xxxx
love your poetry! so fresh and un-pathetic!
ReplyDelete(my man always takes flowers with grace like yours - if you ask me thats a sign for a self-confident guy)
and that red pants look really comfy! in the end the shorter length without ruffles is more versatile...
hugs! xxxxxx
I'm also not normally a big fan of poetry. Nothing against it, but it usually just doesn't grab me. These did ... very touching, very real, very present. I really enjoyed them. :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the pants and the poetry ... perfect :0)

What a rich, funny lovely post!
ReplyDeleteMy English is to little to writing every day a story, it would take to many time. Otherwise, this would challenge me too. Your clothing has such a warm red, ready for wintertime.
Have a nice day :-)
(I'm just standing up)
What a delightful post a joy to experience your painting in words and sounds. We felt we were right there with you. The pants and boots look great. Your sci fi fire irons are cool! It's fun reading all the thoughtful comments too. D&M xxxx
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, you always make me choke from too much laughter, you crazy Jazzy Jack! :D The dentist poem is so spot on! Don't forget the obligatory question "What do you do?" or "What are you studying?"
ReplyDeleteAnd had a little giggle at the " First thing you see in the morning" bit...Blurriness has never sounded so beautiful!
The pants are kick ass, they have a sort of culotte design, which is so trendy right now, oh my :D
Btw, mentioned you in my post, hope you don't mind! Your post about commenting on blogs gave me food for thought!
Hugzzzzz!!!
ooo Plinka Pants! Looking good with and without ruffles. Creative in every arena.
