The Lavendar Tree: My Friend

My Friend

Sorry I've been absent for a few days. My life has been pretty crazy and I've felt like it's pretty out of control.

My "work" (full time day job) has been overwhelming (spent about 9 hours yesterday [Sunday] on "work" and didn't get much of a weekend) and my home jobs haven't felt much easier. I also anticipate that I will be bringing my work home with me most days this week as well. Basically, I'm just on overload. So I have a feeling that you won't see much blogging action this week either.

So, please bear with me - I think I just need to sit down a little bit and spend a few calming moments cuddling with my friend. :-)

She is a keeper and she loves to cuddle when we're sleeping. Good thing I like napping as much as she does. :-)

Why The Lavendar Tree?

Where did The Lavendar Tree come from? Well, let me explain.

LAVENDAR: I've always had a purple passion. I think it arrived the day I was born. It was only natural that purple came into play somewhere in "my name".

I like the way "lavender" sounds - but for some reason, I think everyone else spells it wrong and it really should be spelled "lavendar". :-)

TREE: My grandmother was an incredible fiber artist - I believe way before the words "fiber artist" ever existed. She was an extremely talented quilter, knitter, crocheter and could embroider like no one's business. She had a talent for the satin stitch to die for! My grandma helped encourage my passion for crafting and stitching when I was very young.

I fondly recall one sunshiny day, standing at my grandma's kitchen window and seeing the tree leaves sway back and forth in her orchard. She said the leaves were "waving" at us. I loved that. (Note: I have found that birch trees make the happiest wavers!)

THUS: The Lavendar Tree.
