"God of the open, forgive an old ranger
Penned among walls where he never sees through.
Well do I know, though their God seems a stranger,
Earth has no room for another like you.
Shut out the roll of the wheels from my soul;
Send me a wind that is singing and sweet
Into this place where the smoke dims your face.
Help me see you in the God of the street."

to remind me.

so i didn't know where to start. i went to the blogs that really touched me in the past... spirit cloth and gerdiary. i picked up some feeling and started making something. it's going to be a wall cloth for the wall by my bedroom door. so when i walk out my bedroom i can see it. right now it's called WARM SUM. i took photos today, but it's REALLY late and i am too lazy to go get on the front computer and upload them.

my oldest son also bought me a camera the other day! YAY! hopefully i will take better photos... and if i don't... there's no more excuse.

it's time...

it's been 7 months since i lost my friend. she was like a sister to me. we grew up together. had babies together. had man problems together. we supported each other. i had not been able to even look at this page. i had not picked up a needle for months. i packed all my stuff away and just tried to figure it all out.

i started sewing again last week. well actually a month ago when Corina's husband came by and asked me to sew buttons on his jacket. we sat and talked. we've talked regularly since her passing and now it's about every two weeks.

i miss her so much. i can pick up my needles and thread and my scissors again.

my outlook has changed. i feel like i can hear her loud laugh and her telling me to get on with it. she was so crazy and always told it like it was...

so picking up where it stopped. i don't know what else to write, but i had to write something.

Corina I love you...

I lost a very close friend last Tuesday night. I am still in shock. I love her so much.
