DX Age 6

DX Age 6 is an assemblage piece paying tribute to the changes in my family's life since the diagnosis of my youngest daughter of a type one diabetic.

This piece contains many tiny areas of interest, each drawer pulls open to reveal a statistic regarding type one diabetes.

I invite you to visit the full album of DX Age 6, and check out some of the more easily missed details:

A Tribute To The Tick-Tick-Ticking Of My Biological Clock

Now don't get me wrong. I am not completely baby-crazy. I love and adore the two little girls that I have the privellege of calling my daughters. But somewhere, deep amidst the biological ooze, my cells seem to have been stamped with the biblical quote "be fruitful, and multiply....".

I have known for quite sometime that I am finished with the baby days of my lifetime. Until the day that I am bestowed with grandchildren. However, my womb sometimes mourns that it will never feel the movement of another child growing. I look at my beautiful little girls and wonder about the son that I always wanted, but never arrived.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my children or my life for anything. So I'm amazed how strongly some of us are programmed to breed. Let's face it, since my youngest was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in August I am more than done! Prince Charming could gallop along my side on his steed, promising the sun, the moon and the stars, and I still wouldn't have the time or interest for a baby. Who can have a baby when you're testing blood sugars four times a day and wrestling a six year old to the ground twice a day to administer an insulin injection.

So here it is. My tribute to my biological clock. Long may it tick! But could it please do so quietly???

Wabi Sabi gnome home constructed of collaged slide mounts and beach combing finds. Wabi sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest or humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional.
