afterglow


an other worldly light casting its shadows
in my kitchen this morning...............
all is calm & o' so bright,all is well today

precious inspiration


this is hilda.
she is an exceptional human being.
kind,strong,funny,honest,positive,in the know.
today she and her older sister,my great aunt soph,
are featured in an article in the st.louis post dispatch.
this is not the first time that she has been the focus of
media attention,for years she has volunteered her positive
energy and been given many awards for it.but she does it
because that is how she is made...that is how she lives,she
needs to give,just as she needs food and air.
my 101 year old grandma.
she knocks my socks off.

uncommon ornaments....



....of a most fabulous variety:
  • a gigantic mercury glass star from pat,at the annual ornament exchange
  • a brilliant,unique polymer clay design from the creative hands of corey
  • a supremely adored kitty,by the name of sissy
can one adorn a home better? i submit that one cannot!
falalalalalalalala

coming and going



a reminder to self.
take time to smell the mistletoe.
don't dwell on the uncontrollable.
lighten up.
today is all i have!
on with it.
: )

o the humanity!






the drippy,grayness of the day
kept no one away from the rrcs,
in fact it was the best antidote for
it....all brightness and light seemed
to radiate the event and it was a
real treat to have all my kids there
at the same time...no small feat let me
tell you!

a magical hue






the vip party for the rrcs artists,sponsors & friends was last night.
what a hoot.
these girls reeeeally know how to create a heady atmosphere,they have
gathered a wide and varied range of crafters that will knock your tightly
knit socks right off!
they did mine.
i came home with a bag full of outstanding goodness and a heart full of cheer,
and a full belly after a fabulous dinner at frazer's with tom.
some night's take on a magical hue....last night was one such!

items in my bag included:
  • "rudy" a generously stuffed,lovingly stitched bird by mitch huett a silly man who owns a cool st.louis shop called panorama 314.772.8007 [located here]
  • "super spy" mint flavored cyanide capsules....necessary stocking stuffers!
  • fuzzy,frazzled black kitty by "surreal estate"
  • various buttons and a photo strip from a trip to the photobooth
