Hand-fasting Sash I Made For My Son's And Daughter-in-law's Wedding. It's The First Time I've Done Embroidery

Hand-fasting sash I made for my son's and daughter-in-law's wedding. It's the first time I've done embroidery and I'm quite happy with it ( they are, too!)

- Green, white, and silver were their chosen wedding colors.

- Blue and red are the colors representing the words each/both choose for what marriage means to them (mostly based on Druidic and Wicca traditions).

- Circles throughout symbolizing the Summer Solstice, their wedding date.

- On the white side, the flowers around their names and wedding date are traditional Bohemian designs in honor of Tya's heritage.

- The style on the green side is generally Celtic (a good portion of Nathan's heritage and a style that resonates with both of them - the music list was amazing!).

- Tree of Life and endless knots represent the intertwining of their lives and growth / nurturing / life (Celtic and Norse traditions, although I couldn't fit all 9 roots of Yggdrasil).

- On either end are the masculine (sun) and feminine (moon) with one "protecting" the other, allowing the other the freedom from a safe place to explore, create, and become their best selves.

No regrets

They had something to eat. They had a drink.  They were at the inn...had a room for the night.  They argued about philosophy...he was right.  She hated that he was right, but he was.  It was as if he'd seen all the details of her life and read all the lessons she'd learned through her 30-some years:  no one ever stayed for long.  They did what was socially expected; not what they really wanted... or needed. 

They had another drink... something called "to-kill-ya" or something like that.  It was sweet...like his smile.  It was tart, like his sense of humour. 

No one ever stayed.  She knew it, but did it matter?  One sweet night is all she wanted, then whatever the next day brought, it brought...no obligations, no regrets.  She laughed a lot.  How long had it been since she laughed?  Really laughed?  She laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. 

When they finally staggered up to their room...why had they only gotten one room anyway...she wished she hadn't drunk so much; she'd be asleep in minutes and awake in just a couple hours.... regretting.... wondering what it was like to have a normal life, whatever that meant, and then moving on.  Maybe he'd move on with her.  She'd like that.  Maybe she'd never see him again and he'd be stacked among the possibilities she never tried hard enough to explore.  Possibilities... eventualities... who could say?   But she did laugh.

CALM DOWN ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY.

Don’t worry. They still have to go to court.

But guess what? There’s something you didn’t know about the vote.

Get this: the vote was basically illegal.

You heard me right. Eric Schneiderman, American lawyer, said in Twitter: “I will sue to stop the FCC’s illegal rollback of #netneutrality. New Yorkers and all Americans deserve a free and open internet.”

Not only do we have another ally, but now we know that the vote wasn’t supposed to happen.

We’ve got this. Now the REAL FIGHT starts now.

Truth.

enderal is a great game because if you're like me you didn't look into any of the story or lore beforehand you were just like "oh free mod for skyrim that's just a completely new game, okay, lets see" and then next thing you know you're staring at your own corpse as your companion freaks out because he just saw you dead and you're staring at yourself dead and you have zero explanation for this and just have to move on and forget you saw that

I'd love to hear that song!

Hello! Can Esme sing? What instruments does she play? Thanks and have a good day!

Fun fact: Originally, I wanted to end the Esme quest with a song written by her for Tara. So yeah, she can definitely sing and play the lute.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees
