Well...it's THAT day again...the one where folks get all upset if they aren't loved :o(
How bizarre is that?
Why does the date dictate how much love a person has or gives?
I HATE this day...but I LOVE almost everyone and everything...so...from me...
You are all loved...promise...someone, somewhere loves you...
You may know them...
You may not...
One day...you will...it just takes a little patience...
So...lean into the 'puter screen and I'll blow you a BIG Elf kiss...
Just so that you feel loved...(*blow*)
I'm not christian so I don't do the whole V day thing...but my Giant Troll does celebrate the Roman equivalent...(sometimes...if he feels the need)...he's a little 'Old Fash' my Troll...and he will insist in writing doggerel poetry for me...sigh...you know how big Trolls are...how can an Elf stop a Troll?
Needless to say...it made me laugh...
I s'pose that's love for you...;o)
Oh well...for those celebrating...may love trickle over your toes like the lovely stream in springtime...(?)
For those who are V-Grinches (like me)...kiss the mirror and say 'I love you'...
Well if it was good enough for Oscar Wilde...:o)
Hello everyone...hope you're all enjoying the New Year!
It's still a little dreary here...I don't think the sun has shone for months...apart from when it bounced off the snow!
Still...the fire is blazing and the sooty smell is filling the house ;o)
Ah...the joys of the countryside in winter.
I thought you might like to see my poor greenhouse...just before New Year...
I know it's not the best time to be thinking about planting this year's veggies and herbs...
But at least I can get the doors open now and chop off all of the poor frost-bitten growth :o(
One good thing to come out of the enforced 'indoor activities' is that I have had less in the way of distractions to keep me from painting...although it doesn't take much to distract me...
But making a fire and keeping it alight all day means the tiny sculpting has been put on hold until the sun comes back to us...polymer clay and soot are not a good mix!
Charcoal on the other hand...no problem ;o)
I could make my own!
I'll try to post some pics soon...sooty fingerprints included...
Happy New Year folks!
My it has been a long time since I posted anything...truth be told...it has been a little trying here in the mountains...long story...very boring so I'll leave it there!
I just wanted to wish my nan a happy birthday...for last week...see I even missed that!
My nan is no longer physically with us...but she still visits my thoughts...and was my first introduction to anything at all creative...she could make anything from very little...a true artist...
As I have previously written a post (on my other, older blogs) about her I will just add this direction for anyone wanting to pay my nan a little visit...it is a little self indulgent on my part so please forgive my ramblings...but you would be most welcome to pop in for a nice cup of tea...click here to visit
I'll post something new when the mess here is tidied up...promise...but for now...
Happy Birthday Nan!
She looks a little like "Alice" in the old photo...how times have changed...
