we are searching for starwhales


shhhhh they like whispering ♥ and soft purring. but you must wait.

they will attend to each petal. but only one at a time. that is best.

too many and it all gets in a rush... we must protect our hearts from being too busy... that makes them rush... then they dont work as well. they need time to breathe in the cold air that comes off of the snow.

today i am taking time to do things slowly. like watch for starwhales.

from now we will only do these things one stitch at a time ♥

Let your New Year be full of love, inspiration, quiet days and lovely music! And all the things you are dreaming of!

Your blog always makes me want to slow down and whisper, one stitch at a time (stifling giggles along the way)!

Is the heart on the crystal made of labradorite? Is it fortified with unexpected shimmers and witchfire inside, like all good labradorite stones are?

My own heart will do summersaults if it is, I love them so.

if only my snoopy-lamb would listen. he rushes about helter-skelter everywhere. whilst daisy moomin looks bemused

Stephanie, faery finder, thanks for this post... the kids are all snuggled in with books after we arrived home barely safe, caught in a snow storm, when we should have been home looking for star whales. I am shaking. I love that your owl in the dark is here for I think the salt water wants to come down my cheeks right now instead of staying in the oceans where it belongs. I am worn a bit thin by the travel we just had and you give respite friend. Thanks and love to a faery girl with the changing hair. Love and kisses,and oops there they go over my cheeks (and husband is gone on business so I will go find a flaxen haired daughter or son to dry them, those sneaky salty things)from Amy from snowy Wisconsin. Thank-you.

Pauline said...

Oh and can I please rummage through your wool stash PLEASE?????

Well, feel much better after a good rest... thanks for the soft landing here to fill my head with white kittens etc. Off to get ready to teach, but, just thought I would thank-you again for comforting place here. Blessings dear one.

hello

i just came over to see what you and your sweet kitties are up to and as there is no new post yet i began to nose around and realised something.... this is where i saw 'dusty archives'! i thought i had dreampt it and wrote dusty archives on my blog archives and now i have remembered where it came from. i think i may have to change it, i don't want to be a copy cat. will have to think of something else. musty archives doesn't sound nice, cobwebby archives doesn't quite do it, i'll think of something (hopefully). well, it just goes further to prove what an inspiration you are ;o)

warmest hugs xxx

Stephanie, I do believe it kindred girl! You know this lamb represents so much to me in terms of how I saw the world. Stay soft, think clean, bounce with joy like only a new lamb can... have you seen it? when a new lamb jumps just because? Joy, rapture to behold and never grow to old to snuggle. These little things define me and silly one that I am I swear it was this darling lamby that kept those feelings in my heart. I am so glad you are a child at heart, as well. I find your name so appropos friend, faerie finder. Glad to delight in your friendship, too! I am lucky. Soft blessings.

I have just flown over here to give you some New Year blessings for 2011! ;-)
Your white cats are very beautiful and I love the Labradorite heart. It is a real fairy stone when it catches the light.
I thought of you when it snowed in the village. I saw a snowbird on a thatched roof!
Speak to you again soon. :-)
Love,
Jo.

Came to you from knitterant. LOVE your kitties. I have an all white with both blue eyes, named Radar. He is of course, genetically deaf.

I am having a charity knit drive. I am asking knitters to knit a small acrylic blanket and send it to me for our shelter's kitties. If you mail me one by 2/28 you are entered for some wonderful yarn by Moosemanor handpaints. I am at harpnut@gmail.com. I can send you my snail mail if you wish to send a blanket. Thanks

Thalia said...

I definitely needed to read your blog again, especially about protecting my heart and not rushing about!

Thank you. :)
