Amazing work, isn't it? (via Neatorama)

sunday

The weather this weekend is half as nice as on Thursday,
so I'm postponing the work in the garden. I worked with
some natural materials inside.



I don't know why I always have to do something with my
organic waste before I finally throw them away. Probably
it's part of my childhood memory - I was impressed by
the creativity of the poor people in Indonesia. They create
their toys out of organic waste and other litters, e.g. a
boot made of citrus peel and used skewers. Creativity is
unlimited to the origin of the materials.



I hope, you're having a wonderful weekend!

shadows

The sun was out these two days - spring is finally here.
When I went home from school yesterday, the shadows
of some fences attracted my attention. So, I took the
camera with me today.

Just look at the right photo - isn't it amazing, how a
simple fence could make shadows with three different
patterns?



I miss crafting so much. The school takes away a good
amount of my energy each day. So, it's Euro week at
Etsy and I only managed to add two Furry Berries in
my shop.



I hope, I'll have more energy this weekend to finish some
new designs. Hopefully the weather will stay warm, so
that I can work on the torch again. My poor neglected
garden needs my attention as well. I need a better time
and energy management, I guess...

a long day

It was a long day (after a stressy week). School, work
and choir performance for me and for my boy it was
school, visiting his friend, accompanying me at work and
choir. He took this bit of video of us (if you want to hear
and see more, you are welcome to our next concert in
summer ;)).


(Do you recognize the song? And have you found me? ;))

I'm wishing you a great weekend!

learning

Yes, I'm back to school the next weeks (started two
weeks ago)- as a student. That's why I rarely have time
to blog or do something for my shop. But I've learned
a lot and collected a few things on the way.



I didn't learn only at school. This week I've learned from
the nature as well. About letting loose (still an issue for
me) - to let go of a fixed idea, to let go of life, to let go of
feeling guilty -, but also not to give up.

In other words I've learned..

1. never try to cross over a bridge in a middle of a
heavy windstorm especially if you weigh under
50 kg,

2. but if you notice the situation a bit late, then don't
give up, keep on going, as the storm (or the bridge)
will be over (and this applies to any kind of storm
in life, I think..),

3. nature gives life and nature takes life away and
sometimes you can do nothing but to accept it.

I was walking near the forest with a friend today, talking
about death, funerals and so, as something felt just about
a meter in front of us. It's kind of a ball made of moss.
I first thought it was a bird nest. My friend rolled it and
a naked mammal baby felt out of the ball. I was really
shocked! She rolled it further more and we found another
one underneath the ball. So she rolled it further, so that
it doesn't lie on the street anymore and we grabbed the
(probably squirrel) babies carefully with the moss and put
them on the ball, covered with moss and twigs we found.
As I stood up, my friend shrieked as she found another two
babies just behind my feet. She carried them to the others.
I wanted to cry - those tiny, naked bodies, I don't think
they will survive. For a moment I really hated the windstorm..
