It's been a quiet couple of days. It was craft night last night so I got a bit more stitching done on mouse pad #4 and Cynthia showed me how to make Christmas trees by simply folding magazines pages. It was a lot of fun - and would be a great way to introduce kids to crafting.

Thomas Carew

To My Inconstant Mistress

When thou, poor Excommunicate
From all the joys of Love, shall see
The full reward and glorious fate
Which my strong faith shall purchase me,
Then curse thine own inconstancy!

A fairer hand than thine shall cure
That heart which thy false oaths did wound;
And to my soul a soul more pure
Than thine shall by Love's hand be bound,
And both with equal glory crown'd.

Then shalt thou weep, entreat, complain
To Love, as I did once to thee;
When all thy tears shall be as vain
As mine were then: for thou shalt be
Damn'd for thy false apostasy.
