Alphabet Club Catch Up - I

I don't know how I ended up so far behind with the catch up, but I'm going to do something about it! Next in line is the letter 'I'. Off the top of my head, I can't think of too many words starting with 'I', so let me cheat a little with my stitching - here, have a woman In her bathtub!


I was looking at Intranslatable words again for Inspiration, and the one I will be going with today is the 'Innerer Schweinehund'. Literally, that would be you 'inner pig dog', and it describes  that ferocious beast inside of you that does not like being raised from the couch, being fed healthy or getting dragged out for a jog - basically, the part of you you have to fight with and overcome in order to better yourself, keep resolution and do all that stuff you said you would, but don't really want to. Or maybe you want to...but your innerer Schweinehund doesn't!

What a great phrase! We all have one of those and that is the bet name for it I've ever heard.

Great idea to share this one again, and interesting expression. It definitely fits.

Da ist dir wieder ein toller deutscher Ausdruck eingefallen. Hahaha, "inner pig dog" klingt richtig lustig.

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Haha, great stitching and a great word too. I sometimes call my son a schweinehund, affectionately of course!

My inner schweinehund rules my life and I love it :) Love the choice!
