Well, I now have one tick on my list of goals for 2009. I've finished the sweater knit from my hand spun llama. It's a longer version of the sweater pictured in the pattern (I need something that comes to my hips). I love the color inconsistencies.
There's crocheted trim around the sweater with picot at the neck and sleeves and metal irregularly shaped buttons. I haven't worn it yet but I'm looking forward to it.
One UFO down and seven to go. END OF POST
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Hi Phyllis,
I certainly enjoyed meeting you today. What a great blog. You are certainly one talented person. I love your cards and quilts. I totally aspire to making a sweater. Preferably one that covers my hips also :).
