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.

JiggeryMakery...presents Fay and a Freebie


Todays card is a design team make for the wonderful Jiggery Makery. This design is called Fay  and is available to buy from the Jiggery Makery page. I just love this design...I don't know what it is about her, but she always makes me smile. I loved the way that Adele over at Jiggery Makery has designed her hair and just felt that it called to be zentangled. I do admit to going through phases of wanting to zentangle everything  and I think that I'm in the zone again..lol. But I couldn't not tangle her tangled locks. I also wanted to work the tangles onto a colour. I coloured her hair with three shades of pink using my promarkers.

And I have to share the great news from Adele at Jiggery Makery....she has decided to do a freebie Friday..if you like Denise that I used last week,,then make sure to pop over and like the Jiggery Makery facebook page, like the page and she will email you a free digi of Denise. I have shared the card I made using her again so you can just see how versatile she is. If you do go and claim your free digi..then please, if you would like, share your makes with me and if you do I'll share them on the blog.



I'm amazed that I'm managing to blog at all today. With the cats using me as a roundabout because it keeps raining on and off and BT keeping cutting the broadband connection...it's enough to drive a person insane. Luckily for me I've always been a little off the wall..lol.

My friend the pa is off on her way to London. Her husband..the builder..is running in the London Marathon. I shall be sat here watching, shaking my pom poms in support. Goodness only knows how he does it. It's not that long ago that he did a marathon in Barcelona.My legs would still e recovering, but off he goes again.It looks as if it's going to be a good weekend viewing for me. I have the womens triathlon on Saturday, the marathon and men's triathlon on Sunday and a canvas to work on. That is, if I can find it..lol. I managed to find my glue yesterday but I've looked for the canvas and just can't find it. I've found my larger canvases but not the smaller one that I want to work on. Again it's driving me mad. I have everything else ready to go but no sign of the canvas. I shall hope to keep calm and find it..lol

Well the coffee is calling and a caffeine top up will be very welcome. I've had my meat order today, so the slow cooker is one. It's going to be steak and onions tonight with mash cabbage and gravy.I'm thinking of doing burgers tomorrow with coleslaw and chipand then Sunday will hopefully be Roast Pork dinner. The smell of the steak and onions is driving me mad..it's drifting up the stairs, past all the cats that are sat there with their noses in the air..lol. They seem all determined to not take their eyes off the slow cooker. So until tomorrow..take care and happy crafting. And don't forget to pop over to Jiggery Makery and claim your free digi.
