Sorting boxes of fabric and repairs
Recent art
I repaired a beautiful necklace today that was made by someone else. The person who made it refused to repair it. I always repair the jewelry people buy from me.
My old homemaker the past year quit saying to the company I was gay and a witch. I haven't had sex in 5 years so I think that counts me as non sexual for now. I did have one woman lover in my past when I was 17 so I guess I am a tad bit bisexual but mostly I've been with men.
Am I a witch. I don't think having tarot cards and a crystal ball makes me a witch but I always counted myself as agnostic.
Funny thing is my new homemakers and PCA are a blessing in disguise. They work harder and my house is extremely clean. Plus they are all 3 interesting people.
They are helping me set up a sewing spot in my dining room and helping me sort and cut fabric. Maybe I can get some sewing finished before winter.
I've been writing on my novel Nadines Muse and doing a bunch of poetry.
I got a crush on a guy who is furious with me right now... OUCH! I'm not good at crushes. He lives to far away to reciprocate anyways but it sure has inspired a lot of writing. Plus he's to young for me. 11 years younger. He wouldn't want an old crone like me. But he sure is fun to hang out with on Wow. When he's not mad at me.
Latest Poem
Gazing deep inside
the euphoric sway
of spiritual grace.
There is an internal dance
that helps release the past.
Peering at today
to plant seeds
of thought
that can harvest
joy into my life.
Releasing
the inner pain
that stunts the inner soul
from growing.
Fierce winds
of human conflict
can make ones
spirit feel fragmented
and near breaking,
but I am resilient
and bend
to the force of the wind
like a wild flower in a field.
Opening my petals
to the light of being.
Forgiveness starts within
to open the path
to forgiveness to our friends.

Rain in Winter
It is icy and slick but feels like spring.
This winter has had its ups and downs. Change is in the air but I don't know if it's good yet. I am healthy. Teenagers are hard work and keep me on my toes. Jewelry making is my main craft these days but I have no camera to post it with.

Lost in the world of gaming
Last year this time of year I was Isadoran in Runescape until I got bored and started doing other more creative things. This time of year my arthritis is bad and I use games as a way of distracting myself from pain. The past month I have been lost in World of Warcraft. My character Lorilye in Antonidas realm was given a guild by a stranger and I didn't even know I was guild master until the second time I logged in. My guild is boring I can see why he dumped it on me and the name is misspelled. I didn't even normally play in that realm. I was dragonsbard a troll in Thunderhorn. Now my main is the guild master I made when my normal server was down and another dragonsbard in Antonidas. In Thunderhorn I was Horde but my guild in Antonidas is alliance.
The novelty is wearing off and I made this this weekend. Sorry it is blurry I have no camera and the scanner is blurry.

Art tarot lace and Carpal tunnel Syndrome
My arm hurts from all the jewelry and doll making. Plus I made myself two new dresses. My son saw me taking apart my green shirt that I wore to a witches ball 2 years ago and he said mom you are destroying your rain shirt. I had forgotten that every time I wore the shirt we got caught in heavy rain storms. I explained to him that the green fabric was falling apart and I was replacing it with a paisley brown cotton knit. I still have the original handmade lace and silk calico brown sleeves. I explained the shirt has been reincarnated into a new gown. I am sure Jess will photograph the new dresses in a couple of weeks.
When I first tried the new rain dress on it rained all night. The second time I wore it we got heavy rain and hail. The dress didn't lose it's rain power.
I drew this today. For two days I have been asked to do tarot readings for 5 people. I don't ask for money but I got gifted with Cocoa marshmallow mateys, ginger sauce and photos. The readings were all very accurate and I know at least two of the people will ask for more. One of the people drops in once a year to get a reading. This time she brought other people with who wanted readings and one homemaker got a reading too.
These are more photos of my blue dragon lace necklace that Jessica Paakkonen sent me yesterday.
