Tangled Stitch

Field of Dreams is my favorite movie.  It is the story of believing in something bigger than yourself.  I believe in something bigger than myself but I have been lost in the wilderness for much of the last year.  I have lost just about everything that makes me me.  So for the next few weeks I am going to embroider and knit and crochet and write and clean up my life and hopefully show my son how much I love him.  I've put him through hell.   That is all I can do at the moment, that's it.  My mind is incapable at the moment of being any more than I am at the moment which is a hand embroidery artist, a needleworker and a mother(and to be quite honest I feel I suck at that too). I'm trying to find God, the loving universe and myself and I'll give updates on what I'm doing.

Well folks this is the conclusion of the leap. Finally finished it and finally, finally got it in the frame, which was harder then embroidering it. I did the fiber art craft show last week and met lovely lovely artists and my friends Pat and Carrie were there too. I had a good time but no moolah so I'm gonna take it easy on the craft shows. I'm gonna do one that my friend Carrie is running and the Albany Shaker Museum which is my favorite all time craft location. Such a wonderful peaceful feeling when you in the meeting house. Life has been just a wee bit topsy turvy. I'm still getting used to being the mom of a few days short 17 year old. It's mostly an objective observer at this age as they don't really need you unless they are hurt or they want something. He took his SAT's this morning and he is looking foward to his birthday. And I am waxing nostalgic about his life and what a difference my life is since I've had him. Not much else to talk abou...
