Migraine

no sound
no light
they hurt my head

I hurt
I ache
I take my meds

no laughs 
no romance 
in this bed

I moan
I groan
my husband said

and yet 
it's all
inside my head

The Grief of 2020

It's grief, they say, this anxious ache, You miss the things you used to take For granted. Kids at school, recess at play. You in the office, day after day. Barbecues, weddings, party tents. The world when it used to make sense. The new world has too many rules. Stay at home; don't go to school. Social distance, mask your face; Pray for mercy and a little grace. Miss the hugs, the getting and giving. Keep your old among the living.

My Projects

I have always been "crafty", as my college roommate would put it.  I started with latch hook rugs and tin punch pieces with my mother.  She is my inspiration for my crafting.  My mom never looks at a craft and says "I could never do that".  If she wants to make something, she does.  She may make a lot of mistakes along the way and have to start over a few times, but my mom makes what she wants to make.  I try to channel that spirit.  For instance, when my husband and I bought our house I decided that I would sew curtains even though I had barely used a sewing machine before.  I make rectangular, super simple curtains for the dining room and then decided that roman shades would look best in the living room.  I purchased a pattern for roman shades and many yards of fabric and just did it.  My mom was really impressed. Here's a selection of my projects:
