regret

Okay - really. Regret is like a dagger to the sleeve. Or wherever you happen to place your particular heart. You can't go forward and back is never an option - or has never been to me anyway. It bites and you just live with it like a cancerous lession that you know KNOW is really not going to get better. Time - time is all that you have and yet time is your enemy. You my friend are not getting any younger - are you? Had that expensive plastic surgery yet? No. You have not. Not getting any younger or prettier. More experienced and more educated yes. Does that count? Depends on who is doing the math.

So many things to sew - sew little finished

Yup. Got it again. Some people catch colds - I catch crafter's ADHD. It really sucks and I am pretty sure like the cold there's no cure. It needs to run it course and I can only soldier on.

There's purse ideas, cushions for the back yard, oh and speaking of the back yard - pots for flowers to buy - no wait something more creative - we need to dig up clay from our yard and then spin the pots and then fire them somehow - I don't have a kiln, hmmm dig a hole and do some version of a raku fire. . . . . . it's really really annoying and mental and happens pretty often when the weather changes. It's gorgeous here and I just wanna burst and frankly mentally I think I have.

Maybe I can write it all down so I don't forget some of the really cool ideas swirling - oh yeah I could make my own paper with flower petals and leaves and newspaper scraps . . . . .

What would you do if you knew you would not get caught?

Would you adhere to the predisposed Judeo/Christian upbringing that we have all (or at least all I was raised with) or would you run wild? Banks be damned - or robbed - virgins deflowered - villages pillaged - you get the idea.

What if that was your dream - I mean real dream like sleeping dream? And then you woke up feeling so funky fresh and - well guilty. Cuz you did things you would have loved to do but were inhibited because of the inherent "wrongness!" And yet oh so satisfying!

Gotta stop watching Lady Gaga videos before bed. Or frankly ever!

Absinthe Pillow

It's cute and functional - well functional as far as pillows function!

C C what begins with C?

Anyone remember that kids book? Big C, Little C, what begins with C? I have happily discovered that most of my favorite things begin with C. Cashmere, Cognac, Cigars, Children (mine anyway), Christ, Christmas, Candy, Chinchillas (okay that's a stretch), Chili Peppers, Cake, Coq au vin, Cabernet, Cute Chefs (yes that would be Anthony and Alton!) I will have to continue this theme - oh and I made an Absinthe Pillow!

Totally copying Joe

Okay - So I am going to copy someone I know who has a blog here as well and has committed to typing for at least 10 minutes everyday. Okay yes I know I also committed a while back to knit everyday and that has fallen sadly asunder! BUT I am really really going to do this!

So at the very least I've been sewing. Now if I could just be selling it - all would be right with my universe!

This tote is called Absinthe Binge - now I am working on outside cushions similar to this idea. Rock on!

Virgin.............ia

Wow that seems so freaking significant I really don't actually know what to say - okay a moment of silence................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................alright. Here we are. family of 5 - 3 kids - my natural kids - 2 dogs - 1 new husband (still wet behind the ears) 2 lizards (love those little things) and me - messed up and jaded but alive and really really creative. This state (VA) is like WI in many ways and not in many ways. Example - no liquor stores here just a state run deal that is creepy in the 1984 sort of way. But vibe is laid back in the WI up north sort of way. Just a culture shock for those who have only lived where whites were the majority. I like Hispanic's as a general rule so that stands here - I hope they don't prove me wrong. We're out numbered here. but hey - habla espanol. un poco. te amo! LOL!
