This is a scarf I made for my lovely cousin. It is gray and black and I hope she likes it. She is a brave and courageous gal who has been to hell and back and deserves the best in life. She inspires me from afar.
I am going to let my cousin inspire me today as I share a blast from the past that pretty accurately describes my journey today. Although I have come a long way since this post that was written on October 3, 2008 it still pretty accurately describes my journey up to yesterday.
But today is a new day and I am off to plan a new day and certainly a new way to move forward. When honesty smacks you in the face there is nowhere to go but up. Have a great day, I intend to. I will share my work with you and hopefully think of something witty and entertaining to share it with.
Oh what a tangled web we weave(or more accurately embroider). Been
working pretty hard and hardly working. Got side-tracked by knitting(yes
knitting). When I embroider I have a filter, a filter that lets me do
anything I want(including watching politics) and being able to work
through it(love the windy wisty tangled threads). Well brought some
purses in to the store, knit purses. Since knitting makes me happy and
seemed to make other's happy too figured I'd knit myself into oblivion.
Unfortunately when I knit I can do more then one thing at a time and
it's much too easy to put down the knitting, so got back into the
politics. Right around the conventions, and then the nasty commercials,
and then the debates and then the financial meltdown and well been
kinda wasting my time with my nom de plume in tact debating politics
online. Kind of twisted myself up in a million zillion little tangles
and realized that I am a person that has a hard time taking myself
seriously. In other words I feel like I'm on the cusp of something big
almost reaching my potential(as a fiber artist not a political pundit)
and screech on the breaks. Took me a couple of weeks to realize it was
the knitting, not your normal average reason for letting your budding
career grind to a screeching halt that allowed me to escape from my
greatness. So here I am again, hopefully now that I've figured out the
method to my madness or more importantly the method out of my
madness(those wonderful embroidery threads comingling in the most
extraordinary way)I will be hanging out a bit more often here at my
blog. And have lots of projects to share. I have a couple in the
camera so hopefully will be back soon with pictures, lots of them. Hope
to see you soon. Hope to see me soon.
