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......Coffee, Tea or Me


Here I am again with a new design team make for the wonderful company of Jiggery Makery. I just adore this image. And it always makes me think of the terribly funny books of the 60's...the coffee tea or me collection about the first air stewardesses. I loved the books..they always made me laugh out loud and I have always thought that it was such a funny title...perfect to use for the person in your life. I have to say on previous relationships, they would have probably answered.I'll have a coffee..thanks...lol.

For this card, I used my promarkers to colour the image and added some small tapestry stamps to decorate the teacup. One of the great things about this image is the fact that because the cup comes undecorated..you can really personalise it to suit your mood. There are so many ways that you could decorate it..you could even put the name of your special person on it.

The kittens are in so much trouble..lol. As I'm sat here writing, they have knocked over one of my pen pots and are now spreading them all over the parlour floor. Shouting has made not the slightest difference..lol..I will just have to pick them all up when I've finished. I am hoping to finish a lot of work today and then I intend to do some sewing over the weekend. Bathroom curtains are calling and of course I need to finish the patch rats for the cats.I have a long list of sewing to do..so we'll see how I get on.

Well the coffee is calling again and then it will probably be time to think about dinner...we are having quiche tonight..probably with mashed potatoes and vegetables. For tomorrow we are having a three bird roast, which has sat in the freezer since Christmas. It should do at least 2 nights..I'm hungry just thinking about it..lol. So until next time..take care and happy crafting.
