A Poem

I haven't written much in a while, I've been busy and worn out!! So I give you this snippet. I often like to write poetry. I'm no Shakespeare or Tennyson, I am quite the amateur. I sometimes write silly things, like my Ode to a Scarf, but today I give you this...

Fear

Wave over me, eroding the dirt
Crash into me and break me
O ocean, deep, and vast,
I cannot know your depths.
The surface is serene and beautiful,
But in the fathoms below, the complexities of your being are far too great to number.

I stand in careful awe of your power and might
In awe of your beauty and majesty.
Do not hold back your power,
O ocean crash into me and swallow me whole
Carry me into your depths, into the loveliness of your being

May I drown in you, in all of you…

snow, Snow, SNOW!!

Today is a snow day here in North Texas. I can honestly say that in my twenty seven years of life I have never had such a snowy winter as this winter. And I LOVE it. Now, come weekend of Good Friday when we were supposed to have a day off, I may curse this snow, but for now, I'm just enjoying the beauty of it! And it IS beautiful!!




Oh and I'm working on my sewing...pics to come soon!

Sew...Here I Go!!

Well, I've been wanting to get a sewing machine for quite a while. So for my birthday today, my family was nice enough to give me gifts to go towards purchasing a machine. I'm not the kind of girl who likes to wait, so I immediately went shopping for one with my mom and sister. And so, I give you, my very first sewing machine!


At this point in time, I know how to get it out of the box and that's about it. So, I'm hoping I can periodically let you in on my progress. I'm also really excited about all the new sewing supplies that I purchased! Except I completely forgot to use the gift card my sister gave me!! Oh well, that means I'll have it to use the next time I need supplies!





On an unrelated note, my sister also found my favorite icing and brought it to me today! Yay for Rainbow Chip!!
