A Different Obsession

Giving my obsession with the health care fiasco a break,

I needed something else to jam into that space in my mind.

It is not really working yet,

however,

I am really trying to make them all think it is working.

So,

I am taking up some other obsessions.

Crazy quilt blocks for one.

Since having to give up all the wool

or live with the itching,

I needed another stitching project.

These fit the bill!

Creative and fun.

Collecting and planning for the trip to Haiti.

I leave for Haiti on the 17th of November.

Hopefully and Prayerfully,

a promise kept.

Six years ago,

I promised to return and teach calligraphy to the students

at the EBAC orphanage.

Why would I do that?  

Make that promise?

Life has been in the way since

and

I did not know if I would be able to keep that promise.

So, the door is opened and

I am sewing dresses and skirts and shorts to take with me,

collecting formula to take along,

some baby clothing

and

lots of brushes, paints, pens, papers and books.

I will be brushing up on my calligraphy skills soon!

(I am still formulating a plan to take some screenprinting

supplies, but JWS does not know that yet, shhhhh)

Thanks to some awesome benefactors,

I will be able to supply the students with some great supplies!

 

Also doing a little crocheting.

And some knitting.

And yesterday's slide through Goodwill produced this book.

Airplane reading!

Hopefully this finally answers all of my Mary/Martha questions!
