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.

Jiggery Makery...Presents Penny
Todays card is a design team make for the fabulous team at Jiggery Makery. Let me introduce you to Penny. She is a digi created by the wonderful Adele over at Jiggery Makery. I just love her and wanted to do her as a rock and roller. I really enjoyed playing while creating this card. I created the background paper. I remembered that I had bought a stamp featuring a line of music, which I hadn't used..so the first job was to find the stamp..lol. I then stamped the image onto some pink card. I then decided to make some 'records' just using some black card and then a beige card for the centres. For Penny herself, I coloured her using my promarkers and then glittered her underskirt, shoes, beltand the top of her dress.I then also decided to add a bit of glitter to the records.There are a real wealth of glamorous ladies over at Jiggery Makery...why not pop over and take a look.
Things are definitely moving here in the mountains..even if it is only the furniture..lol.I am replacing a chair in the parlour and because of that it means that a lot of other things had also to be moved. Even Regs basket had to be moved...and he's still sulking..lol. The chair hopefully is coming tonight but we shall have to wait and see. Virgo came and moved the big pieces for me..bless him but now I have to sort out my craft stash. Now that's a moment. As I've got lots of work to do this weekend..I'm making plans for next week. If I can get all the work done this weekend then I will have all week to sort stuff out. The weather here is definitely telling me to stop in. It has been so windy all night and even now is blowing a hooley. The cats have taken a look and all gone..no thanks and are now scattered around the house in their special little places.
At the moment, I'm thinking what to do for dinner. It may be quiche, fish pie or even something else. I shall have to talk it over with Sparkle. I also intend to make some muffins for a change. No doubt I will have lots of eager little faces watching me...hoping that something will drop on the floor..lol
Well the coffee is calling and so is the kitchen. Please don't forget that there is a giveaway over on the Decoupage Delights facebook page. Why not pop over and have a go. So until tomorrow..take care and happy crafting.
