HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYA

BIRTHDAY # 2

We celebrated Mya's 2nd birthday. She had a wonderful time ! Happy Birthday little Mya.  We had spaghetti and an Elmo cake. The party included Mommy and Daddy, Papa and Gramma.  Of course Angie was available to lick up crumbs and finish Mya's spaghetti.  We are so blessed.  You are such a special girl.

Alzheimer's Death


Alzheimer's                                                                               

lost 
stolen memory
Mama a string of shattered glass
refracting new meanings 
misunderstood
shamed.


A women of words, artist, Latin scholar
Alzheimer's you thief.
Her mind ordered a writer of lists
our historian broken
mistaking earrings for acorns.

                                                                                                             
Alzheimer's 
dark cloak
of dreaded loss.


Words gone now
Mama a tiny speck of light 
in eyes that see and don't see at all.


Alzheimer's you need
her vision too?
Unspeakably cruel to 
steal til blind.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
No you won't win.


My Mother's death
my head upon her breast.
Alzheimer's cowering 
now in the 
face of death.
                                                                                                        
I sang a hymn
Holy Holy Holy 
I sang the doxology to you.


Alzheimer's mute and weak
Death now upon the room
a braver warrior than you.

                                                                                                        
Silent Night Holy Night
We watched with you 
Chip and I as 
Death descended and 
Alzheimer's died.


Your eyes, your breath
your startling glance
your gasp
your soft breast.


As Death returned to you 
Your life renewed.

Mama

Daddy appears a portal
from the room
you reached and turned 
took flight your oldest
son your guide.


Left Chip and I 
to witness                                                 
Alzheimer's Death.


Your spark of life 
Filled that room 
a gale of energy 
you flew

Sock Yarn Snakes

I have lots of sock yarn.  It makes great snakes. 

I have made this yarn into finger less mitts but have yet to finish the first sock. Using up this pretty color way from Red Heart.  The snake pattern is from itty-bitty toys by Susan B. Anderson.  http://www.amazon.com/Itty-Bitty-Toys-Animals-Dolls-Playthings/dp/1579653766  I made this snake the last time with left over worsted weight yarns. It came out huge.  Since Susan wrote the pattern for sock weight yarn I have always intended to do it up correctly.  It is taking even longer to finish, but I think it is going to be adorable.  
So who needs a snake?

I have been honored for my tangles!  I have fanfare with trumpets that you will want to listen to here:

Thanks to Pamela W Allen for this outrageous and respected honor! 

I will sit in the corner and knit neatly 

Where have I been....the romantic land of vintage...
Hours and hours have been spent getting my vintage shop up off the ground.  It has been a fast and amazing journey.  I have had 16 sales already and am meeting some lovely people.  Here is where you can find me...

I am knitting as I type this...HA...lest you think I forget my knitting shop.  There is a very pretty treasury over to your top right by Astras Shadow that features my blue glass vintage bunny. http://www.etsy.com/shop/AstrasShadow

PROOF OF KNITTING

I multitask, and as I do that I constantly remind myself that even when multitasking I can only do one thing at a time.  Really.
