Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

Rosey Hearts...Naughty or Nice


Todays creation is a design team make for the wonderful team over at Rosey Hearts. I am so pleased to announce that I now am a member of this fantastic design team. I am so excited..it's a wonder that I don't pop..lol. A new challenge has just begun and the theme is anything goes with the option of naughty or nice.Why not pop over and join in the fun. All the designs are digis and available to buy. The owner of Rosey Hearts is a fabulous artist called Melissa and her art work just takes this breath away. There will be a new challenge on the 15th. of every month.So to enter the challenge please pop over to the Rosey Hearts Challenge page. If there is anything that you'd like to know just please ask and I'll get any information for you. Later on today, there will be a sidebar link for you to use..hopefully if I can remember how to do it..lol. I got told off by Sparkle yesterday for not doing any computer housework..cache, defrags etc.,I said I didn't know how to..lol..it's enough that I think about cleaning the cooker, let alone tidy my computer..lol.

I decided to make a canvas for my kitchen using this fabulous design from Rosey Hearts. Working with this image made me smile because I was thinking to myself..which is naughty and which is nice. And which I am. And the more I thought about it the more I thought that I'm probably both and can be either depending what's going on or who I'm talking too..lol To begin I painted the canvas with my acrylics..starting with a cream colour all over and then adding pink from one side and blue from the other..meeting in the middle creating a lilac. For the girls, I coloured them with my copics. I then cut them out and added them to the canvas. I then created the bottom piece and added the saying..it is one which I wrote down a few years ago and was looking for something to use it on. I have a book of sayings or poems which I find on my travels and add them and then when I'm looking for a theme..I go to the book. This saying always makes me think back to when I was a punk and so full of confidence..and also when my legs worked..and this saying felt so right. I always felt as if I could rule the world..nowadays I think that maybe I still could but it would take me so much longer..lol. I have always believed that we all have wild hearts but sometimes they just get hidden by life and the things that we have to live through. So my message would be to never forget your wild heart.

I feel like a at round about again today. The weather is fine here in the mountains and all the cats want to be outside..for a moment and then they run back in. And I'm in the middle of it. Sprout has managed to have another fight today..with Hobo. Now Hobo is a cat that arrived in the village a few years ago..he doesn't belong to anyone..I know because I've phoned everyone in the village to find out..lol. Well he has started to come here if he's hungry or has a problem..and I don't mind that but it seems that Sprout does. Who would think that Sprout would turn out to be such a macho little boy. When he arrived, he wouldn't even look at anyone let alone try and take on the world. Well I've told them that come the summer they're both off to the vets for a certain operation. I've decided to take on the vet care of Hobo..no-one  else wants to know so I'll include him with my tribe. I will get him looked over by the vet and get him doctored. He seems quite happy outside so I'll just make sure that he's ok health wise. I do wonder where he came from..I can't understand why people get animals when they don't want to look after them for the rest of their lives...no-one tells them that they have to have an animal..but they still do it and just dump them when they feel like it. It's just not right.

Well the coffee is calling...and Pretty is here today..so I'm being spoilt again. It was such a surprise to see him..I miss him so much when I haven't seen him for a while. His girlfriend Gorgeous is out lambing at the moment..bless her..I bet she's exhausted. So until tomorrow..take care and happy crafting.
