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.

Cat in the patch


Todays card is from Halcyan Days by Crafters Companion. Of course I had to make this card...it had a cat on it..lol. This is one of the quick and easy cards that are featured on the cd...it's just a matter of cutting out and layering...but it makes a really pretty card. If you didn't have any notelets and just wanted to drop a friend a line...this would be perfect.

A really quiet today..I've had my next injection and touching wood  ...I have no headache so far. I have my evening planned..sausage and chips for tea...it's what I really fancy..and there will have to be salad because I love it. Fresh fruit for pudding, watching the athletics as planned. A little card making and it will be a perfect evening. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that it goes as planned.

Well the weather has really taken a change for the worst. When I came home from wheeling Reg...it was a very wet little group that walked into the kitchen. It was pouring when we first went out and even worse when we came back. Now Reg was the only one that doesn't mind the rain...he happily skips alongside the chair whatever the weather...where as me and the cats are a little miserable. I had my waterproof on..so hips up I was lovely and dry...hips down it was if I'd been dropped in the river...lol.On the way back we had torrential rain and wind...the wind kept pushing me backwards..I'm sure that Reg ended up walking twice as far as normal...lol.You had to laugh...as soon as we walked through the door..everyone decided to shake themselves..all over me..so any bits that had managed to remain dry up to that point were suddenly wet. My first port of call was my bedroom to get a dry skirt and I have to say it feels a lot better..

Well the coffee is calling..I'm looking forward to Saturday..a new challenge begins over on the Gruffies and guests challenge blog. Even more exciting times ahead. I will have to start entering challenges again..I really enjoyed entering them last year but haven't felt up to it this year...so I think I may start again next week.So until tomorrow..take care and happy crafting
