Houses
The 12 houses never change.  They correspond to areas of life and show where we react to the action of the Planets.  Each house has a basic meaning and they blend…one into the other in a continuing pattern of life experience.   Houses 1-6 concern self.  (Dark side, under horizon line, personal, private)  Houses 7-12 concern outer world experiences.  (Public life, above horizon line, involves other people, social)  Note the opposites.  Begin the numbers with the ascendant reading counter-clockwise.

I am adding a picture of a shirt I have been embroidering.  It is a work in progress.  Hopefully I will work on it this winter.  I am using floss on this one.  On the one before I used yarn. I am using acyrlic paint for the skin tone.  I tried to use floss but I got so frustrated that I tore it out 3 times.  So the skin is paint.
This is a close-up.
This is a composite I will use on pinterest.

Project from several years ago...
    This was done with all kinds of yarn split into single threads.  I used stitchery needles of several sizes.  I drew the picture with skinny marker on muslin.  It was a combination of crewel, embroidery  and/or tapestry.  It tool me several years, but I must admit I did not work on it all the time.  It was designed by me.  It was of my husband and I, in a magical life.  I have it in my living room now.  I have another one I am working on now on a blue-jean jacket.  I will take a picture of it and blog it soon.
After finished and before framed.
After framed

Hi

Just thinking about what I could write on this blog.  I am on pinterest a lot and love it.  I came upon someone's board tonight and it made me think...I did not have any children, but I taught for 29 years and looking back there are things I would write about.
Advice I would give to parents (even though I do not have children)
     1.  I  would take my kids to the library every week.
     2.  I would read to my kids.
     3.  I would look into every thing Montessori. I just found some pins on pinterest about Montessori stuff.
     4.  Of course being an artist, I would encourage all kinds of art.  My kids would be very familiar with all museums in my town.  We would go to art fairs.

More later

The Real Old Time Religion...
This is all the verses I could find.


Tune: "Old Time Religion"
Chorus: Give me that real old time religion
Give me that real old time religion 
Give me that real old time religion
It's good enough for me!

[ASATRU AND ODINISM]
I hear Valkyries a-comin
In the air their song is comin
They forgot the words! They're hummin!
But they're good enough for me!

We will drive up to Valhalla
Riding Beetles, not Impalas
Singing "Deutschland Uber Alles"
And that's good enough for me!

It was good enough for Loki
It was good enough for Loki
He thinks Thor's a little hokey
And that's good enough for me!

Shall we sing in praise of Loki,
Though he left poor Midgard smokey?
Oh, his sense of humor's hokey,
But he's good enough for me!

All the Gods tore into Loki
Saying Deicide is hokey!
And they threw him in the pokey!
And that's good enough for me!

Good old Thor's the god of thunder
Really helps us get our plunder
Tho his head's still truly dunder
He is good enough for me!

In the halls of Frey and Freyja
All the priestesses will lay ya
If you're good enough, they'll pay ya!
And that's good enough for me!

One-eyed Odin we will follow
And in fighting we will wallow
Till we wind up in Valhallow
Which is good enough for me!

It was good enough for Odin
Though the tremblin' got forbodin'
Then the giants finally strode in,
But it's good enough for me!

Shall we sing a verse for Thor,
Though he leaves the maidens sore?
They always come back for more,
So he's good enough for me!

It was good for Thor and Odin
It was good for Thor and Odin
Grab an axe and get your woad on!
and it's good enough for me!

We will worship now with vigor
The goddess known as Frigga
Tho there are some who don't dig her
She is good enough for me!

If you wanna worship Odin
You don't have to have a coat on
Grab a sword and slap some woad on
And that's good enough for me!

We will sing a verse for Loki
He's the old Norse god of Chaos
Which is why this verse don't rhyme or
scan or nothin' But it's good enough for me.

[BRUJA]
Let us sing for Brujaria
Though the blood's a lot less cleaner;
It's not Christian Santaria
So it's good enough for me!

[BUDDHISM]
We will all go to Nirvana
So be sure to mind your manners
Make a left turn at Savannah
And we'll see the Promised Land!

It was good enough for Buddha,
As a god he's kinda cute-a,
And he comes in brass or pewta'
So he's good enough for me!

No one wrote a verse for Buddah
Tho I think they really coulda
And I really think they shoulda
'Cause he's good enough for me!

Oh we all will follow Buddah
Oh we all will follow Buddah
And we'll eat no food but Gouda
Which is Gouda-nuff for me!

We will go and sing "Hosanna"
To our good ol' pal, Gautama,
He will never flim or flam ya',
And that's good enough for me!

We will all go to Nirvana
We will all go to Nirvana
Make a left turn at Urbana
And you'll see the Promised Land!

[CARGO CULT & PACIFIC ISLANDS]
To the tune of Handel's "Largo"
We will hymn the gods of Cargo
'Til they slap on an embargo
And that's good enough for me!

If you get too tired
And you need to get up higher
Just have Pele light your fire!
From her island in the sea!

You can keep your saints with halos,
Your hosannas or dayenus:
Let's throw virgins in volcanos!
And that's good enough for me!

[CHRISTIAN]
We will worship with the Fundies
With their itchy hair-shirt undies
If they don't bring "Mrs. Grundy,"
Then it's good enough for me!

There are those who worship Satan
And are just anticipatin'
Armageddon's conflagratin'
That ain't good enough for me!

It was good for old Jehovah
He had a son who was a nova!
Hey there, Mithras! Move on ova'!
Another resurrection Day!

Let's all listen up to Jesus
He says rich folks like old Croesus
Will be damned until Hell freezes
And that don't sound good to me!

Jerry Falwell thinks he's sav-ed
In a lamb's blood he's been lav-ed
And HE thinks that I'M deprav-ed
But that's good enough for me!

Oh we'll all be Fundamental
And be Holy Testamental
And never Trancendental
And that's good enough for me!

That Bob Larson shrieks and hollers
Fighting demons in his callers
Save his program: SEND YOUR DOLLARS!
And that's good enough for me!

We will finally pray to Jesus
From our sins we hope he frees us
Eternal life he guarantees us
And that's good enough for me!

Tho J.C.'s into fish, too,
He's an avatar of Vishnu
So he is welcome here, too,
And that's good enough for me!

Anytime that I start hearin'
"Jesus loves you" I start leerin'
Maybe so, but not like Brian
Which is good enough for me!

Brother Jerry is a cretin
But with all the cash he's gettin'
Lotsa folks'll be forgettin
It's the "Land of the Free!"

Brother Oral's in his tower,
Trusting in the Lord's power
Getting richer by the hour,
Now he's got the ransom fee!

Brother Robert's church is Crystal
But all the Bible that he's missed'll
Make you "hotter than a pistol"
But he's good enough for me!

Brother Earnest is a healer
And not QUITE a wheeler-dealer --
More a jumper and a squealer
So he's good enough for me!

Brother Jim and Sister Tammy
Had a show that was a whammy
But now they are in Miami
Tryin' t'get back on TV!

Then there's good ol' Brother Billy
Bringing souls in willy-nilly.
All his trips are kinda silly,
But he's good enough for me!

Whether Low Church or it's High Church
Or it's Pie-Up-In-The-Sky Church
Come on down and visit my Church
'Cause it's good enough for me!

And the Romans said of Jesus
"Lets kill him, he don't please us"

Running door to door for fitness
Well if you've been blessed with quickness,
Then thats good enough for me

And let's not forget Pelagius
Though some call him outrageous

And sing lots of rowdy verses
Till the neighbors holler curses,
And that's good enough for me!

With her pagan poetry!

That's good enough for me!

When we worship Bacchus
The ethanol will sock us

And she is a little dyke-ey
You don't have to be a Psych-e

Where the Sun God leads we'll follow
('Though his head's a little hollow)
He's good enough for me!

We will worship with Poseidon
We will meet him when the tide's in
All the maidens he will ride in
Then he'll give 'em all to me!

Don't neglect that shrine of Zeus'
Tho he's lost his vital juices

And he's good enough for me!

All the hunters start convergin'
When Diana is emergin'
It's too bad she's still a virgin
But there's still hope left for me!

In the honor of Astarte
Grab your chiton - don't be tardy
'Cause she's good enough for me!

Pan's pipes got plugged last summer
And it really was a bummer

He's more than enough for me!

Now Danae was sweet as flowers,
She was into golden showers;

But it's good enough for me!

There's one thing that I do know
