Have you ever just wanted a YES/NO answer ?

Etsy is fantastic, you can even buy tarot/psychic readings from there. Today I had an amazing reading from a psychic medium couple who use angel cards and contact with spirit guides to provide you with ten answers to all your yes/no questions, 10 answers.. how fabulous is that..! Not only that but the price is amazing, 10 questions for $2.50 is outstanding value for money.  You can find the readings at their shop here http://simplyforyou.etsy.com or they have their own lovely website here: http://www.lovelightspiritualreadings.com.  I had a query and Chris replied straight away and answered my question instantly so I was very impressed with the service. What are you waiting for have your yes/no questions answered today..!!!!

When Angels Speak…

Well there I was coming back from somewhere else, on a bus reading Spirit & Destiny Magazine when I came across an article about reading signs from angels.. seeing feathers, seeing white feathers in particular … So i came on a plan and spoke in my head to the faceless ones upstairs..”dear angel if you are there I want you to send me feathers, but not white ones, big dirty grey pigeon feathers, the bigger the better, thanks”…

 As the bus approached my area I decided to get off a stop early and see if there was anything around to snap. Spying a dirty side road with a bit of junk I rushed over with my camera.. (I love taking photos of junk…) happy days.  So I knelt down to take this photo of a dying weed and glanced to my right and well there it was…..a small white feather blowing on a shrub..WHITE..!…Not exactly thrilled with this discovery I proceeded to make my exit. Then there right in front of me I saw them the 3  glorious just as i’d asked for gigantic dirty white and grey pigeon feathers.

The angels – do not doubt them for they are indeed waiting for your wishes.

Creative ability goes out the window

Note to reader: Never ever attempt to cut glass  and make pretty things when pissed, Ria and I had a few too many glasses of wine and decided to get out the glass cutters… oh yes we did have a whale of a time, getting more and more lashed, glass and glue going all over the shop.. admiring our fine fine creations at every  turn…. popped them in the kiln to see the masterpieces in the morning….

                                                                 ….. morning arrives and so does the hangover..open the kiln and sweet jesus what the hell is that mess.. I couldn’t give these away let alone sell them… So dear reader, let that be a lesson to you, creative ability goes out the window when you’re as battered as a piece of chip shop cod.

Enough of the past.. these are ready to go in right now..

Sad Yellow Bird

A while ago I had the chance to go to Barcelona and was really excited to view first hand the amazing work of Gaudi – now Gaudi was good, great even but his works didn’t even come close to the graffiti artist who sprayed what I now name Sad Yellow Bird. Say hello to him and know that as sad as you may feel you will not be as sad as he.

Someone on Etsy wrote an article about me!

Dizzy Dolly has written a lovely article about my etsy shop on her blog  http://dizzydolly.blogspot.com/  for which I’m forever grateful. Whilst you are there check out the  exquisitely designed artwork she sells on Etsy (Http://www.dizzydolly.etsy.com) , I love it… it’s one of my favourites.

Handpicked item on Etsy – I did it

I did it, after a day of uploading pictures and I turned my machine off to get a break as I’d been photographing and uploading items for 7hours non stop and my brain was wacked… put on the tv… but I couldn’t stop could I, I had to log into Etsy again to read the message boards and as I logged on.. there it was as clear as day.. my pendant.. ON THE FRONT PAGE.. so happy. I got 152 hits because of that so thanks Etsy.

Why did God give me a vegetarian cat?

I love my cat, I really do..but the only reason I got a cat was so I could feed it chicken and prawns and tuna and all those things my mum wouldn’t feed her cats..  I was so looking forward to it, Poppy would have prawns where ever she goes.

So we pick her out from Battersea cat and dogs home one day, everythings all set up and out she pops from the cardboard box, prowling about taking in all the new surroundings and I proudly show her a plate of tuna. Expecting her to purr and gobble it up she takes one sniff and distainfully walks away. 

Not one to be deterred soon after I buy chicken, herrings, prawns and all manner of cat delights, any cat would be happy to eat..no not my cat. Not interested, not the slightest bit. Now I’m not saying she will only eat cat biscuits no.. she will eat saltanas, marmite, ice-cream and lettuce.

Am I pleased she doesn’t like expensive foods and only likes the cheapest brand of cat food and vegetarian fayre. No, because I wanted to spoil her, it’s just as well though because my dream meat eating cat would have been the size of a house by now.

One thing in her favour, she does like to read the tarot cards for me which is always nice.
