domesticatedbee: Getting back to my roots
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2014/01/getting-back-to-my-roots.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. Getting back to my roots. Its been two years since I hung my heart stitcheries in my little spot. In cyberspace. And for two years I have wanted to post again, I have wanted to stitch, but I just couldn't! First it was crippling nausea that prevented me. How to stitch and how to post when all you want to do is HURL? I can barely find time to take a shower! All four of my grandparents hail from villages of Mt Parnonas. Post) where I made my first Greek friend. She was a lit...

domesticatedbee: “No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.” -Virginia Woolf

Thursday, September 18, 2014. 8220;No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.” -Virginia Woolf. When I became pregnant the second time round, I had a chat with myself. 8216;Get ready’ I said. 8216;Prepare to disappear’. I knew that having two children was different from the portable one. I could sense that my time was going to be squeezed beyond my then comprehension. I could feel a very great change coming on. And once I had the baby disappear I did. He was based in Athens.

domesticatedbee: June 2011
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Take me out tonight. Today I will tell the story of my night life. Actually, the story of my post baby. Night life, as that. Can be summed up in a few short paragraphs. My initial response to any offer of going out is positive. Yes! Of course I would LOVE to come! Especially if its a friend's party or anything put together by Blueworks. The children of Sally Spektra. And then I think. Can I do it? I start to do the math. My brain starts to whir. What time does it start? When the f...

domesticatedbee: December 2011
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. A while ago, I began considering maybe selling some of my stitched stuff. Not such a big deal eh? Every crafter alive seems to be doing it. I was very confused about how to price. And when I asked for advice I got so many different opinions! Don't undervalue your art, mark the prices up high! Was one. But I felt funny about asking for a lot of money. Then again, each piece takes so many hours. Of love! So what is the right price when the value is sentimental? Wow, time. tea...

domesticatedbee: The return of the evil eye
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2011/11/return-of-evil-eye.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. The return of the evil eye. Were they afraid that everyone would be jealous of their fancy pants car? I felt full of disdain and above it all. So its been a few years since then. And I seem to have developed a strange fascination with the eye or mati. To use the greek. It was one of the first things I tried to make as a newbie embroiderer. I was not pleased with the outcome. I moved on. And that was the end of my career as a mati. Here I am again. But why? I can't do this.

domesticatedbee: September 2011
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 4, 2011. A heart that's true. Ok so I lied when I said I was going to stitch a dvd player cover. What I was really stitching yesterday is in these pics. The occasion? I'm going a bridal shower! As I am totally unfamiliar with the tradition I didn't know what to get. I thought it had to be something like handcuffs or a whip so I was stalling for ages. When I told Maria. She laughed at me and said underwear or sleepwear is traditional. Phew! Toolbox for tee-shirt stabilizer. Its about pri...

domesticatedbee: January 2012
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 23, 2012. Its still January so I'm guessing its still ok to say that. Its been over a month since my last post. I had meant to post before Christmas, let everyone know how my visit to Klimaka. Is a very good way. They take donations in the form of food, money, clothing and/or if you have time you could do volunteer work. The situation is really severe. How shall my heart be unsealed unless it be broken?

domesticatedbee: July 2011
http://domesticatedbee.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 23, 2011. Everything is coming up roses. So just before christmas I bought all this felt supposedly to make christmassy tree gifts. If you've been following this blog then you'll know that never happened. Since then I've used the felt to make a skull bracelet, a bunch of owl coin necklaces, a heart tattoo necklace some sailor girl stuff. And I still have loads. Left, especially black and red. LOTS of RED. To make LOTS of Santa dollies. Yeah I guess that was never really going to happen.
