Tattooing is about personalizing the
body, making it a true home and fit
temple
for the spirit that dwells inside
it.... Tattooing therefore, is a way of
keeping the spiritual and material
needs of my body in balance.

Saturday I went downtown,
The weather was perfect,
Nippy's, a local seafood joint,
had live music and great food.
I passed The Beaufort Inn,
an excellent place to stay
if you ever decide to visit.
I visited my local yarn store,
and found the yarn I need to
cast on Rachel's Shawl
and the owner surprised me
with a birthday gift.
Then it was on to
a new place,
where I met the very
talented Angi.
She made me laugh
and I love that she
has her own recipes
to make cleaning
products and that she
wants chickens. She
has a little trouble
keeping sourdough
starter alive so I'm
going to bake some
bread and take it
to her.
She did her magic
and gave me my
birthday gift from
my son Peter.
It was suppose to
go on the back of
my neck, but that
is illegal in the
state of South
Carolina,
so it went here,
my first tattoo.
The peace you seek is there,
it's there between all the traffic
in your
mind, stop and rest for
peace will find you if you let it.

As I looked over my
Christmas list early
yesterday morning I began
to have a panic attack,
I may have added just
a few too many knit
items to my gift giving
list. Maybe?
While I am almost
done with my last Annabel
Cardigan [photos soon],
I am still working on my
sister's scarf, fingerless gloves
for one son, and three others
waiting to be cast on. In
addition, my daughter informed
me that the wee one is
expecting something knit from
me too.
I needed a break, a change
of scenery, anything to calm
down, to learn to breathe
again.
I threw the scarf in a bag,
took myself down town,
sat by the water, knit, and listened
as the world awoke and the
day was underway.
It was peaceful and just what I
needed....
then I took myself to the yarn
store, after all, my granddaughter
needs a new scarf!
Books are still being listened to,
this week it is Lone Wolf and
I love it! Honestly, I am ready
go start doing something, anything
to help these magnificent creatures.
One person at a time and so
much can be accomplished!
