ars its death, it builds a nest of cinnamon twigs and ignites itself and nest.. From the ashes (baby boy is black, so his coat color can symbolize the ashes) a new Phoenix arises, it then gathers its fathers ashes and embalms it in an egg form which then an eagle (to incorporate Sky as well as the new one being a son of the old one) carries the egg filled with the ashes to the altar of the Sun God..

He is too cute. I love the last pictures.
Aww thanks MySweetElegance!! Looks GREAT!&gt;I think there's a part of me that doesn't want to have to chase either. Now that I'm thinking about it, there's this thought of "if I have to convince someone to be with me, it won't last anyway."

I would respectfully submit that this attitude is a huge problem. I used to have it, too--I think a lot of guys do when they're young. Being successful at dating isn't about 'convincing' women to be with you, it's about certain attitudes (and yes, being physically attractive helps). Look at it this way: You're seeing 'Chads' attract women 'without needing to convince them'. But in the absence of any 'convincing' going on on the part of said 'Chads,' and the absence of any *successful* 'convincing' going on on your own part, you're drawing a false parallel: You're assuming that what 'Chads' are doing to attract women is some super-fast, skillful condensation of 'convincing' them. In the sense that there are certain signals which are good to give off to make people like you, this is true--mostly things like 'Not a psycho' and 'Seems fun'--but it's not the kind of prolonged, logical argument ('Here are ten reasons why I'm a good guy and you should go on a date with me') that springs to mind when I hear the word 'convincing'. So yes, you're correct that in the unlikely event that you 'convinced' someone to date you, it would probably be an artificial and incompatible relationship and would not last long. However, the good news is that since that's not how people really fall for each other, you don't really need to worry about it. 

This leads me to two huge problems I see with the incel worldview:

1. Why is it a problem to work for things you want? I know, I know, there's a certain strain of feminism that seems to regard self-improvement in the service of getting laid as somehow creepy (and a corresponding'sleazy magic tricks' PUA faction that serves as its foil). But if you've gotten to the blood-boiling stage, what do you have to lose? So what if other guys have it naturally easier? Just to be clear, I get that lots of people don't understand that there are physical and mental improvements one can make to help their romantic lives. But once you've climbed that particular wall, why keep wallowing in lazy spite and envy? 

2. Incels seem to assume that 'hypergamy' and female pickiness (seemingly confirmed by that OKCupid data that surfaced recently) is a function of some natural 80/20 law, and if they're on the wrong side of that, there's no hope for them. But what if instead of a static fraction of attractive men in the population (the '20') which most attractive women focus all their attention on, it's more like a standard on certain metrics (does a particular man clear an *objective* bar, rather than beating out a certain percentile of the male population?) above which those attractive women pay attention to any man who passes the test. But that would interfere with the zero-sum worldview that incels seem to cherish above all else.<reponame>Testiduk/gitlabhq<gh_stars>1000+

Grant and Milli Lucas joined Jane Marwick after her interview with Sydney brain surgeon Charlie Teo. Grant says he wished he knew Charlie had been offering to come to WA to perform surgery for free. An emotional dad paid tribute to Charlie Teo, who operated on Milli on Monday. He says the operation means his family will wake up to Milli’s smile for at least the next three years.
Oh how I love the trench coat pattern. How delightful in pink gingham!
Thanks, Marilyn! This will be a good Spring project. Thank you for reading and commenting!
Beautiful post. I absolutely love reading your blog. Okay bank you for writing. Happy New Year! That Dior pattern looks marvelous. Can’t wait to see what you make with it.
Thank you, Linda – I so appreciate hearing from you and knowing that you enjoy Fifty Dresses.
I loved all of this and every fabric! Pink and periwinkle will always make me happy. Loved reading your plans, Karen.
I love pink too in all its shades and other colours particularly red and green i fact anything as long as it is bright and zingy.
YES to red and green! Red is right behind pink in my favorites category. And I’m excited about anything bright and zingy at this point!
I don’t know which is your greater gift. Is it your gift of creating expressions with words or with fabric? I have the same blue fabric with white flowers but I’m certain my slacks won’t compare to whatever you create.
Oh, thank you Peggy. Again, you have made my day! Isn’t that blue flowered fabric so pretty? I think I ordered more than I need for a tunic top – my daughter may end up with one as well!
Lovely post, Karen. The world needs more pink!
And you and I are leading the way!
I am a fan of your blog. I am also a keeper of patterns, like your trench coat, and always feel encouraged to use them after reading your posts. Thank you!
Thank you, Mary. I wish I had kept all my Vogue patterns, but I’m grateful for the ones I did keep. They are so inspiring, don’t you think?
Tanya, thank you. Your comment is so lovely and so appreciated. Sewing gives me a peace (most of the time) that is elusive in so much of life’s busyness. Your words are very affirming to me!
Happy New Year and may everything you make this year work out as planned with no massive problems
