About Cynthia

I am a textile artist, embroiderer, wood burner, costumer, painter, and weaver who sees magic and change in the chain stitch and a well done Palestrina knot. I wish I had more control over the ways of the human world but alas, all I can control are my actions and my attitude in life and the consistency of my stitches. And sometimes even that doesn’t pan out as hoped and I must rip rip rip.

The god’s are smiling upon me today. I’ve always considered Friday the 13th to be a lucky day for me. And I just now realized that today is one of them.

He deserves that respect and being a Mormon from Texas he understands the rites of respect. That is my assumption but I could tell from his expression that it pleased him when I said that I wanted to honor him in that way.

I’m much lighter since before lunch and I got about 10″ of hair cut off. He blow dried it and it’s a bit poofy and not really in a good way. But I know what to do with it later. Otherwise it’s perfect. Just perfect. And it feels weird when I fun my fingers through it and it stops at my shoulder… *laugh*

The chalice bag progresses and I’m pretty happy with the color combo. This particular velveteen is absolutely the softest ever for cotton. I got it at Walmart in some bin years and years ago and it’s the last piece left.

The robins are singing, it is a dry day, there are patches of blue sky. Hope reins.

The last 24 hours have been really life affirming and life changing. I’m thinking about K. and R. and M. and N. and Cliodhna and Fox, Grace and Green Witch with smiles and gratitude.

I have this rule. I only get to complain for so long before I take opposite action. So, I have a story to tell you. It’s been awhile since I told a life story and one is due. It’s a long one. You might want to warm up your tea and get comfortable.
