Coming out of hibernation is getting more difficult.  Yawn! Yawn!

"What On Earth?" Day

Still cranky and cold, but the sun is shining.  I think it is the sun.  I am very perplexed today by the humans that  walk upright around me.  Im absolutely positive you are questioning the sanity? of this planet as well.   Lets have a deep breath and be grateful for it. (breath that is)

Thankfully my chore list is endless and my "not quite complete" crafty projects are becoming fewer.  During a recent "Cold from HELL" I finally was left to suffer uninterrupted.   My "Thrum Mittens" that I was baffeled by,,, seen me through my fever and delirium. Thank you Lise, the yarn and pattern was a challenge and a delight.  I learned a great deal (I do not have your skills lollolololo) www.myzenitude.blogspot.com  Perfect example for Earth Day!


Wading through "Lake SnailBox".....I have been perked up by kind creative♥s and their fun Art swap just for ME!!!!!
 
Linda♥....Wisconsin USA...............Doll Dreams


 
Monique♥...........The Netherlands...Doll Dreams

 
They fill my inspiration board with Bright Creative JOY!!!!!
 
Rosa Lily...  www.rosalily.blogspot.com always provides just the right indie shops on Etsy.  I took her exquisite advice and visited www.beadishdelights.etsy.com .  I found something I have always secretly wanted. 
 
 
This amazing piece arrived 5 days after ordered from England.  I am very impressed and applaud the excellent customer service and exceptional value / talent  of this artists ,work! 
 
 
 
Visiting crafty classic artists around our World will inject the spirit of Hope everytime.  So off I go, clicking down my blog♥s list.  A new perspective thats the ticket*
 
 
 
In times of questionable human behaviour I search out what has always saved humans from themselves.......................helping others in need* (as seen during the Boston Tragedy)
 Thank God, not all is lost. ♥
