I took a felt-making class on Saturday and I just loved it. It is so tactile and so immediate. It does take about 3 days for some stuff to completely dry, but it is worth it. I am feeling very viral and dispirited this week, so posts and emails are running very short. For now, here is a hedgehog prototype - I think I will be trading these at Artfest this year, maybe along with some charms, I do like the charms. I will add my strawberry felted picture and the amazing slice-em-open-see -the-colours ball and rope later.
Something we all need.
Stumbled on this over at colors on my mind and felt that it held a message needed by many of my friends in blogland at the moment. I definitely needed to hear it. Apparently you can wish before you read it.
Saint Theresa's Prayer
May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
As they soar above, my heart soars too
I've just got back from watching Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall. Here is the show that I saw. I'll write more tomorrow, but it was so amazing and breathtaking. At one stage my heart was honestly beating faster, at more than one point probably.
