tonight, i have decided to bake unleavened bread so that my partner and i can have our own memorial at home.

i already have the wine, and i will be serving it in an authentic ancient greel drinking vessel called a kantharos that was used in ancient times.

i've collected ancient greek and roman coins and antiquities for quite a few years, and i thought it would be neat to try be be as authentic as possible by serving the emblems in ancient wares.

Anyone else like to sew??? What kind of Machine do you use???

i'm ready to get my sewing machines out of hiding, and will be sewing once again this winter.

i'd like to start quilting again, as it is fun to do, eases stress, and is healthier than just sitting in front of the tv.

i have even designed a few items of clothing in the past that i have sold, although i am by no means another madeleine vionet or issey miyake-lol.. i've always liked sewing machines even as a child (much to the dismay of my parents-lol), and there are a couple favorites that i have had for many years.
