This is to my husband, with whom I am now back together, and will always cherish for being the man he is.
My life tells me not its breadth,
But with your love, I find its depth.
-Micol Day
Love you always, Cory!
Hey, all!
Craft room photos will follow in a few days...
Yessssss!!!
Due to my being attacked by some sort of spider or bug more than 20 times over on my torso, and the subsequent feeling of being turned into an arachnid's juice box, I am going to submit a photo from last weekend for my Self Portrait Thursday offering today. (Doctor prescribed antibiotic...so hopefully I'll be on the mend soon!)
Here I am knitting at the mall. (FYI: My daughter and I are in an apartment now! Thanks for all the well-wishes!)
I'm trying to raise a little money to help get my daughter and I into an apartment. We're in a hotel for a few more days. All my crafting stuff is packed in storage, so if you feel like helping, just check out photos on my blog here or in my Flickr account (user ID RecycleMicol) and if you like one of them enough to buy one, just private message or convo me here, on Flickr or in my Etsy shop and I'll list it for you!

If not, please send us your well wishes and prayers! They're are coveted, for sure.
Thanks, friends!

This is my self portrait for Thursday, June 18, 2009.
Staying in a hotel with my daughter.
Going through a break-up and end to my 10 year marriage.
Fighting for the protection of the innocent.
Feeling more free by the hour.
We are persecuted, but not forsaken.
We are cast down, but not destroyed.
My trip to the hospital for pre-testing was rewarded with a hospital rummage sale in the atrium! I happily picked up this nice Nine West hat for a dollar and...
65 spools of Gutterman and Meltler brands (high-quality) sewing thread for just $13.00, thank you VERY much! Each spool is a different, glorious color! In case you don't know, the thread is worth at least $130.00, new. Only a few of them have been used at all. SCORE!
Pronounced clah-foo-tee.
I loved it! Too much, I'm afraid. I find that the high egg and dairy ratio in this dessert bothers my digestion. I may have to turn vegan!
The other members of my family didn't care much for the texture of it, so I most likely will retire this recipe. I'm glad I tried it, though. It was fun to make.
I would use fresh cherries next time instead of frozen, to keep the batter from turning so red from the juice. I'd eat way too much of it if I could handle the eggs and dairy, so it's a good thing that I can't eat it.
Window light today.
When I Am Free
Do you ever wonder why I stay,
When I am so controlled and stifled?
Do you wonder why I stay,
Midst your jealousy and rage?
My dream is that some day,
You will get bored with me and let me go.
Perhaps a rescuer will come and free me from your grasp.
Your soft, pseudo-caring grasp.
Your selfish, greedy, hoarding clutches that keep me all to yourself.
One day I will be free.
Though you will still control me,
For I will always love my beautiful, soft, manipulating captor...
Even when I am free.
-Micol Kraft Day
I write this poem for those who are unable to express these feelings. I feel your pain, and you are in my prayers.
Love,
Micol
