Finally! Another Caturday!

~ humoringthegoddess ~ 4 Comments

It’s been quite a few weeks since we’ve celebrated Caturday and Doggerday!

How’s your cat doing?

How’s your dog doing?

How’s your pets and kids and friends doing?

Cats and dogs and hamsters and toddlers and friends all live in that same stratosphere. That same aura. That same world.

The world of love. The world of friendship. The world where, no matter what they do, you are there for them.

No money need be exchanged; no favors given or taken. No shouldas, couldas or wouldas. Just plain friendship. The buddy system times ten.

Caturday and Doggerday are just reminders that your best friends need you.

Don’t limit your love rays to just your dogs and cats. Spread your love and affection to everyone around you. Hug your kid. Even if your kid is 40 years old. Call your bestie and talk for an hour. Text your friend from work and say hi.

You all know what I mean.

Share the love. Even if you don’t get it back. Doesn’t matter. Loving is what feels good. Share your heart’s wealth.

Especially when it translates into petting and cuddling fur babies…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faerie Paths — Wonder

~ humoringthegoddess ~ 9 Comments

 

Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.

Welcome Back

I have been running around the past few weeks and am very glad to be back on solid home ground again.

You heard of my camping fiasco — just got done planning it again for next year. Never give up, I say.

Last weekend was my escape to our family cabin up north and participation in my first craft show of the year.

I must say that with all the “North Woods-y” arts that surrounded me this year, my sparkling strings of crystals kinda stood out like a fish driving a van. But they seemed popular, so my first escapade with the buying public went fairly well.

Offering your homemade creations to the public can be a nerve wracking experience. Whatever it is you make, you wonder … does it  look professional? Well-made? Will they fall apart the first time someone uses it? If you knit, are the stitches straight? Do the colors blend right? Painting, maybe you’re an abstract kinda person. Is it too abstract? Too colorful? Does it say anything?

Ack, you did just fine. I know ~I~ did fine. They were homemade, not expensive, and made with love. Just like (I hope) everything you make is.

You may wonder what this “fantastic thing” is that I never shut up about. It’s my granny hobby; my old lady creative outlet. They are called Angel Tears Suncatchers, which are single strings with rhinestones, embellishments and crystals that reflect the sunlight.

This project, this hobby, is what creativity is all about. It challenges my imagination, gives me a scheduled play time that is all my own,  and brings delight to others as well. 

Your art should do the same. Whether it’s sculptures out of old silverware (I saw that at the fair and loved it!) or painting boat oars (loved that too!), you should enjoy what you do.

They say it’s not the destination that counts, but the journey. And I am loving every minute of this journey.

I promise I am working on a website to show you what the madness is all about. I hope you have or are making a site of your own too,  even if it’s a showcase and not a salescase.

Show off your madness! I’d love to see it.
