Someone with my name ran across my other blog this week and left me a comment. How cool is that?! The comment and, someone else with my name! I’m not certain how she pronounces hers. Mine is Car + on, NOT Care + on.
By the time I was in 4th grade [...]

What a difference a day makes. Whatever evil took over the last couple of days has vanished. I’m not going to say I’m 100% functional, but sitting up without watching the room spin is a good start.

I have a bunch of things to catch up on today. Including actual laundry. I’ll spare you photos of that.

This weekend is the apex of the Leonid meteor shower. There’s a field approach off a certain county road. A friend and I went every year, and we saw some amazing stuff! I can still see the green tail, almost comet like, that swept all the way across the sky before it disappeared. We [...]

So, this blog is my safe place where I can whine about things I try to stay upbeat about on my other blog. Ok, not so much upbeat, as much as I just don’t like to express how utterly sad and overwhelmed I get about the war, and the project I have undertaken. [...]

First Embrace. The title of one of my favorite little quilts. This technique was a first attempt at something even less traditional than what I had found myself doing again, and more a reflection of my true self.
Hopefully that is what this blog will be. A place where I can express all [...]
