I was glad to see everyone's comments yesterday...I miss you guys!
I keep hoping I'll get my crafting mojo back, but life has just been non-stop, in my face, 24/7. Even when I'm vegging in front of the TV, I never seem to pick up anything to work on.
Other stuff (good stuff) is going on in the background too...the kind of stuff you can't really blog about...so that takes my attention also.
About the tattoo: It's a tribal phoenix. I found the black phoenix on line and then had my tattoo artist draw in the sun. I think she did an amazing job making it look like it was part of the original design. I chose blue/purple rather than red/orange because 1. I like those colors better and 2. The blue/purple represents the phoenix's tears as well as burning in the sun/fire.
The tattoo took 3 hours to do. The first 2 weren't too bad, but when she went back to fill in the outlines, that last hour HURT. She said that I picked a heck of a design for my first tattoo! LOL
But it was all worth it. I love it - even though the skin is starting to shed & I'm itching like crazy. It's big, true, but I wanted to make a statement and have something I'd love looking at the rest of my life.
I'm already planning #'s 2 & 3!
Again - thanks for the comments & for keeping me on your blog lists/newsreaders!
Been missing you too. I'm glad life is busy and going well. Good luck with the loan app.
Sometimes you just have to let the craft stuff take a back seat.

I know, one isn't even finished and you have others planned! Cream it up (I used my shea) and yes, it itching drove me nuts for a day or so and then went away-don't scratch, the color will come off!

Sometimes you need fallow ground, y'know? Crafting will come back when it needs to.
Ouch. Three hours? Yeah, pain and an inability to make up my mind has always stopped me from getting one.

Well I think it is an awesome tat. Mine hurt too. But the artist was great and kept talking to keep me from thinking about it too much. I want a second one but I can't decide what to get.

When I go through a huge transition, moving twice in less than two years cross country, it took months for me to get my knitting mojo back. Glad to hear that things are going well for you.

Antiviral drugs may be useful in early stages of some virus infections or to prevent recurrences or reactivation in chronic infections. Most drugs exert their effects only during certain stages of viral replication and many are relatively toxic for the host when used systemically. http://www.8pills.com/

I'm really glad I found your website, I've been searching forever for a pattern for a duster such as you presented in your blog dated jan. 2 2007. I know it's been a while, but do you know where I can get this pattern?

Off topic. I saw this was posted by Kathy West... I'm looking for Kathy Smith West, formerly from Safford, AZ and she loved knitting, so I hope this is you.

Hi there! Do you still have the Classic Elite Zelda yarn? If so, would you be willing to sell it? Thank you, Christina
