walls for the wind

and a roof for the rain
and drinks beside the fire ~
laughter to cheer you
and those you love near you
and all that your heart desires.

The Termite
by Ogden Nash

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.

A bit about me

First and foremost is my love of needlework...esp reproduction samplers...if i`m not stitching them, i`m reading about them or just drooling over all the ones i`ll never live long enough to stitch...then there is my computer obsession...so many things to do and read and discover! I am in the process of moving to the USA, and waiting for paperwork to be processed. God grant me patience! I am taking out my frustrations on stitching right now. It keeps me sane....well, as sane as i`ve ever been.

Flowers, plants and fishes,
beasts, birds, flies, and bees
Hills, dales, plains, pastures,
skies, seas, rivers, trees:
there's nothing near at hand or farthest sought
but with the needle may be shaped and wrought.

from The Needle's Excellency, by John Taylor (1634)

Strength, Love, and Honor

Yesterday my friend Michael died. He has been having heath issues for awhile now and they caught up with him. He leaves behind a beautiful wife and daughters. There is a hole in my heart a mile wide. No one can ever replace him.

R.I.P Katana Tiger. We will meet again.

Here is a color you can never take away from me.
It made a hole in my eyes when I was young,
and now my eyes gather round it`s memory like deer round a pool,
lapping at the beauty of this rich magenta,
a red that persists like the beat of my heart.
