Happy New Year? :/

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's been a while. I figured I'd spare you 5 days of the same rant.

Let's just say my visit back home was not quite what I had planned.

My husband's dear Aunti has decided to once again limit my freedom of religion in her presence. Before I was not to speak of it. Now I am not to wear my pentacle where she can see. And she wants a write up thingy on what it means since she feels it an anti-christ symbol.

So of course now I am dutifully looking up stuff to write an essay I have absolutley no direction on. I really don't want to write it. There is a whole bunch of good stuff already written on the subject. I could hand her one of many books. But she wants it in my own words. And quite frankly this is my once chance at being able to explain something to her so I have to take it up.

I will be publishing the essay on the main page when I am done if anyone here wants to give it a glance.

Funny though, the more I work on it, the stronger my ties to the God and Goddess get. It seems to be strengthening my faith. Not quite what Aunti had intended, eh?

I have also been working on quite a few crafts to calm myself down. I made a seasonal cage blanket for Lina (the flannel was supposed to be made into stockings, but we just bought them instead). I am also in the process of making another pony, doing a pentacle cross stitch (it helps me contemplate essay points) and making a coro box with a magazine cutouts all over it to store small kitchen appliances. I'll post pictures when I finish things.

I have been taking a lot of walks but it's been quite icky out, so no pictures. It's been rainy latley. We had pretty snow yesterday but I was walking with Shaggy so I didn't take any pictures. I tend to forget my camera when I am out with Shaggy.

I will probably write something more eloquent on the whole Aunti issue. But between crafting and walking I have been tiring myself out. :/ I think my brain wants a break.
