La suite:
"Sainte Nitouche"would stand for "Sissi"
and "cruchotte" is not an insult, but "cruche" ( pot) stand for " stupid"
The insults I used in these illustrations are not really nasty or even rude.
Je me souviens quand j'etais petite (dans les annees 70), ma maman detestait ces robes trop courtes parcequ'on ne pouvait pas s'amuser, courir, escalader, sans montrer sa culotte.
Moi j'avais des robes plus longues, na ( et la meme pour ma poupee, la classe)
OK , mauvais jeu de mot...
This post in French is a very bad pun. Sorry.
Our theme for April is dot
Soon.
Quoi je fais dans le teasing? Allons, allons.
"Modele"in French, has 2 meanings : mannequin and best example.
What they are saying to eachother are insults, but not really rude ones:
"brat" says one, and "show off" answers the other.
"Andouille" is a kind of sausage, we use it as an insult to say "fool" or "dingbat"
"courgette" ( zucchini) is not really an insult, but "courge" (squash) is an insult meaning "idot". Courgette can be used as "small idiot", in a cute way.

On my last weeks of pregnancy I used to spend some time at Sugar Lump Coffe Lounge . I have a thing for mid century design, and it's in my neighboorhood. They were kind with me and didn't mind that I seat while I was waiting in the line.
They have some vintage magazines I found very inspirational...I'll show you the result next time.

Toutes mes pensees aujourd'hui vont vers une jeune maman, felicitations!
On leur pardonne a ces petites chaussettes? Mmmmh...Oui
Les pieds du fiston quand il tete.
My son's feet when being fed. Little socks can be cute, too.

Translation:
Let's compare a new born and a sock.The only thing they have in common is that they both can't order a beer.
Why little socks won't stay on little new born feet? Undoubtedly : they have little in common.

Tres vite, en passant...des mercis et des bisous pour vos gentils commentaires a la naissance de Bebe Joli :)
Quickly, he's sleeping but it won't last!
Comme vous le savez deja , mon petit bebe est ne samedi, c'est un gentil petit (gros) garcon, il va bien et moi aussi!
Le blog va faire une petite pause le temps de profiter de ce grand bonheur, a bientot!
Pour ceux et celles qui sauraient le nom de mon bebe, je vous remercierai de ne plus le citer sur mon blog, nous prefererions qu'il reste anonyme...Ca n'empeche pas de lui trouver des surnoms, que pensez vous de bebe joli?
My little baby is born Saturday, a big boy and a sweet baby! I won't post for a while to take care of my little bundle of joy.
Toujours pas de bebe...Peut-etre ce week-end? En attendant, plus moyen de dessiner, mes mains sont trop gonflees. C'est pas grave je viens de recevoir un paquet de Woman's Day vintage des annees 60, et je me regalerais...Des que j'aurais reussi a virer le chat de mon fauteuil. Ouste? S'il te plait?
Un petit bout de l'illu en cours, qui attendra mon retour:
Baby is not here yet, maybe this week-end?
My hands are so swollen I can't draw any more, but I just got a parcel of vintage Woman's day magazines and I will have a lot of fun reading them, as soon as the cat will be kind enough to let me use my armchair.
Hey kitty, what are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for the stork. It's a bird, isn't it?
