My Sweetie's Blond As long as I've known my Sweetie he's played the guitar. Not so much in recent years between life and the moves. I've longed to learn to play and thought, "oh one day I'll do it."

Stitch by Stitch, Word by word, prayer by prayer
Happy Sunday friends. A very dear Priest friend often repeated, "God writes straight with crooked lines." Today's post is a little bit about that and a lot about repetition of the basics. Here in this beginning place is a link to the readings for the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, and to Fr Mike Schmitz … Continue reading Stitch by Stitch, Word by word, prayer by prayer
Ides of Lent
Spring is one of my two favorite seasons, the other is autumn particularly in the northern parts of the country where the autumnal display is eloquent. Spring here in Central Texas is different from spring in the northeast, as well it should be. While there is the winter shrouding it's not nearly as shrouded as … Continue reading Ides of Lent
The Deep End and Defining Terms
As a long time quilter I'm generally comfortable within the quilting language itself, and within said language a lot of the dialects exist. While my fluency seems to be in free-motion quilting I'm comfortable enough in art, patchwork, traditional, modern to converse.

I can be a bit of a … Continue reading Changing Prayer

Writing While Annoyed
Sometimes I write while annoyed, frustrated, concerned, desiring to change the hearts and minds of those who annoyed me off enough to write whatever words currently flowing from brain to fingers. Because we all know I am practically perfect in every way. I started a post the other day that I *may* finish, however for … Continue reading Writing While Annoyed

Okay, I didn't see that title happening. The original add-on title was Condemnation which comes from, is flitting about my head as a result of reading the chapter on the Woman Caught in Adultery for our book study this week. Every time I read the story about this woman I get a little pissed and … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 27: Giving Over
Reorganizing, Reading, Reflecting, wRiting
I can't help but realize that Lent starts in on February 17th.

My Sweetie and I will work through this before dinner each night. … Continue reading Reorganizing, Reading, Reflecting, wRiting
