my very first blog post, May 9, 2004

 updated 11/27/2020
This was the very first day I started my other blog. I haven't brought over all the posts yet, but it was like starting a new world, a new adventure. I had my website before this. Long ago, when the internet was merely a collection of bulletin boards, I ran into an ADD board. On that board was a woman from Israel that I became friends with. She taught web design with a company called Homestead. It was so easy!! So I had a great deal of creative fun with that. When I was home schooling my kids, I discovered that I LOVED working on the computer. No more retyping whole pages when you made a boo boo. No more taking out the stencil, painting the boo boo, and hoping you could get the typewriter lined up just right so the boo boo was invisible. It was exhilarating actually. Free to type as fast as you want and not worry about mistakes. And as I typed more on the computer, I got really fast, and the mistakes diminished. It helps that you just back space and type it again, and hardly notice.

When I started, I didn't really know what to do. Or what to write. Now I write nearly every day. And there's another topic, How I got Started On the Internet and Blogging and Actually worked in an OFFICE because of it. Wow. LOL

day one

here is today

time seems to sway

just going away

would like to play

So now I have a weblog. I am joining the millions of others that use this method of dealing with life. I know that I already know some of the answers… I’ve been this way before. Now, there are different situations, but still the same problems, dealing with things without internalizing, without stuffing myself with food, without letting things eat at my insides.
And so my plan is to keep writing in a general sort of way, without names in case someone somewhere in space is reading this.
And so, this is the beginning of the journey, and the end, and the middle.

About Me

My photo
just a crafty grandma experimenting with all sorts of things. My main interests are paper craft of any kind and quilting/sewing. But I've done leatherwork, polymer clay, on-the-wheel pottery, painted molded ceramics, papier mache, stained glass, plaster casting, linoleum printing, paper making... you name it, I've probably tried it. A few I actually stuck with. :)
