Cairo & Roswell
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling away, lying in the rain, hiding in the winter.
My sweet little guinea pigs passed away and for the past week I've felt like I've just dropped out of the world. It's been amazing how much these little animals have pulled me out of the motions of life and showed me how to value again.
I've mourned my personal loss...no more cuddles or little squeels everytime I open the fridge, but more than anything I've wept at the strong sense of responsibility I held for them and a deep emotion that I let them down. Through all of this I feel human again and it seems like a strange thing to say, but I've been liberated by learning my limits as a human being and how much I really have, or should have, control over in my life. I've started seeing the tiny things again and beauty where it was hidden before...I hope I can hold on to this lesson for as long as possible. Thanks for a lovely life with you both Cairo & Rosswell.
I've really started to enjoy making my own gift cards. With lots of tincy scrap material and some funky words from the local newspaper some of them have turned out quite cute.
I sewed this little pouch for Dave's bonsai tools to hide in. These gorgeous koi should keep them feeling comfy.
Here are some little padded broochs for fun...a stormy rain cloud and 'bird', whatever that means :)
Speaking of birds. I found this whimsical nest when out walking Zephyr. I adore the little feathers left behind by the homeless chickadees.
Here is a little peek at some of the handmade cards I've been whipping up. They have a really yummy lived-in kind of feel.

--- Nightingale --- 
--- Lionheart ---
--- Not made to be b r o k e n ---
--- Because life is ---
This one is a little larger...I'm thinking of framing it in something I find at an op-shop and then placing it somewhere random where it takes you by surprise.
--- Supersize life ---
A closer peek at the wolves in the snow corner of 'Supersize life'.
Anyways...enough mumbly jumbly...it's time for greasy pizza.
Luv Soul.
