about me
I'm happily married 25+ years, 2 kids, 3 grandkids, many pets, many hobbies, many interests... I am an USAF veteran married to a retired Marine, an Orthodox Christian, and occasionally a reactionary old broad. I believe in manners, I do not believe in Political Correctness. I like to discuss religion, food, handiwork, blackwork embroidery, things I saw on TV, books, movies ,lots of stuff- BUT I do NOT want to date, marry, have sex (real or virtual) with anybody, and if you show me nekkid pictures I will (a) make fun of your anatomy (b) put you on the ignore list and (c) report you as abusive; I also have no interest in helping any foreign persons to deposit vast amounts of money into American banks in order to give it to charity - unless, of course, you show up on my doorstep with a semi-trailer full of actual CASH, and then we'll talk....

New Embroidery
(blog entry)
Been a busy few weeks designing, but I'm ready to start stitching on the new rushnyk for the church. Here's a scan of the first color/pattern test....
Re: Newcomer

it's a monochrome embroidery technique, very popular in the 16th century - it can be as simple as all backstitch, or very very complicated, but the effect is of colored lace on a white background. Hope that helps a bit!

Today is our 26th wedding anniversary. We have now been married for more than half our lives...
This was us 26 years ago. He's still skinny, and I still have hair.

Yesterday was Cheesefare, and Forgiveness Sunday. Today is the Clean Monday, the first day of Lent.
Forgive me my sins and offenses, known and unknown. Pray for me as I will pray for you.
