Stitch and Bitch ~In Which Himself is Weaving and I now have something to Bitch about !!!

Happy Tyr's Day me Loverlies

Boy have I missed writing my Blog. Sorry about the absence again however I have things going on and things aren't making life easy for someone wanting to write a blog!!! Like serious meds now having to be taken until the specialists decide what to do with my back ... and are quite happy leaving me on crutches and slowly on the road to becoming a morphine addict because noone will do anything until it I can no longer walk because I can't feel my legs!!!

Yes grumpy sorry but hey thats what Stitch and Bitch is all about getting the bitchies out ... so here goes another one .. this is the second time I have written this blog ... I published it an hour ago and since I was here and able to I was getting a jump start on tomorrows and whoops I appear to have deleted it O.o  GRRRRR!!!! Is it Monday and no-one told me or something !!??!! cos it sure feels like it !!!!

Anywhoo the wonderful and most fabbytastic Himself has taken over the loom. It isn't a huge thing can sit on your lap and was a gift from a former flat mate a couple of years ago. I finally brought it off the shelf the other week and dusted it off only to find the instructions in German O.o My wonderful long suffering man that he is Himself translated the whole lot. Let me make clear what he did. He typed out the manual by hand into the Google translator thingy and it took him a goodly couple of hours and then popped the translation into a document in English so I could read it !!!

.... and I still couldn't figure it out o.o pfft!!! so we called upon a friend who teaches weaving at a fabbytastic place locally and she came over with her wonderful little sprout and we figured it out together YAY!!!!! and then it fell to pieces after I had ma\de it long enough and we tied off the ends O.o .....

This is where Himself decides to take over and I helped him keep the tension tight on one end while he threaded the warp around cos the stoopid thing isn't one of these wonderful massive easy things that you thread it individually noooooooo you have to weave it back on itself in one long thread ....

Many rude words have been said about the person who invented this machine ... by myself and our friend and even Himself at times, however he seems to have taken to it and is at the moment making fabby cloths for the girls under thier lamps for thier bedside tables. Now to me thats a real dad !!!

So whilst I am here writing this and a couple of other blogs so i can keep up this week he is in the living room watching boy stuff and weaving hehehe.

 It took ages to get him to stop long enough to get his phone out of his pocket so I could take the pics so I took another one hahahaha!!!!

Whilst all this was going on a Red Admiral Butterfly flew past my face knocking me off balance a bit and landed on one of our chalices on our alter !!!!

Being as this appears to be the kind of day I appear to be being taught things i figured I might just look it up ... and I might just look up the other creature that haunted me and chased me around the flat on  the weekend too!!!!

Spiders normally in this country don't bother me I've lived in Australia and the ones here are nothing compared to what you have to put up with over there, but I am telling you this thing would've grabbed the remote given half a chance and cracked open a beer and watched the game given half a chance!!!!

So lets look at the nice one first

The butterfly is the symbol of change, joy and color.

It is the symbol of the soul. They remind us that life is a dance, not to take things quite so seriously. They also remind us to get up and move. Dance brings the sweetness of life. Butterflies bring color and joy to your life. Look at them and remember what joy is in your life, if it's a lot or a little, it is still joy. They teach us that growth and transformation does not have to traumatic; it can occur gently, sweetly, and joyfully.

 Spider: Creativity and Weaver of Fate

A spider totem teaches you balance --between past and future, physical and spirit, male and female. She is strength and gentleness combined. She awakens creative sensibilities and reminds you that the past is always interwoven with the future. Tarantulas (and all spiders) are the keepers of the primordial alphabet and can teach you how to write creatively. Her body is shaped like the number 8 and she has 8 legs, which is symbol of infinite possibilities of creation. Her 8 legs represent the 4 winds of change and the four directions of the medicine wheel. Spider's message is that you are an infinite being who will continue to weave patterns of life and living throughout time. Do not fail to see the eternal plan of creation. Those who weave magic with the written word usually have this totem.
