<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent"> I have been working very hard to complete
the designs for this new series, Gods and Goddesses, and I have completed the first five
pendants. These are large statement pieces for either wearing o<span class="text_exposed_show">r hanging in your sacred space. I have included a small amount of info on each deity, just for your reference.<br /> <br /> Brighid<br /> <br />
In Celtic religion Brighid is the daughter of the Dagda and one of the
Tuatha De Danann. She has two sisters, also named Brighid and is
considered a Celtic triple Goddess. She is the patroness of poetry,
smithing, medicine, arts and crafts, cattle and other live stock. She is
also associated with fire in all its forms and is seen as a Goddess of
hearth and home. She is celebrated at Imbolc, 2nd February, the Celtic
first day of spring. Animal correspondences for Brighid include the
swan, ewe, dairy cows, bees and serpents<br /> <br /> The Brighid pendant
has a carnelian cabochon set in the center. Surrounding this are the
feathers of the swan which is nestled at the side of the carnelian.
Flames of inspiration lick at the bottom of the stone completing the
piece. This one is not quite as large as the others.<br /> Approx 8.6cm long, 5cm at widest point.<br /> £26 plus P&P</span></span></div>

She is concerned with education, arts, knowledge, intelligence and
creativity as well as agriculture and magick. She is considered the
patron of poetry, wisdom and grain. Animal correspondences for Cerridwen
include the white sow, greyhound, otter, hawk and hen.<br /> <br /> The
Cerridwen pendant has a large oval ladbradorite cabochon, set so that it
looks like the magic brew bubbling away in the cauldron. Finished with metallic black and copper paint this piece has been given a gloss varnish

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Hecate<br /> <br />
Hecate is a Greek Goddess, most often shown holding two torches and a
key and in later times she is often depicted in triple form with her
hounds by her side. She is associated with crossroads, entranceways,
fire, light, the moon, magick and withcraft among other things. She was
one of the main deities worshiped in Athenian households as a protective
Goddess and one who bestowed prosperity and daily blessings on the
family. In modern times she seems to have gained a reputation as a
slightly ‘darker’ Goddess although I am not sure that I agree with that!<br /> <br />
The Hecate pendant is set with a teardrop black agate that has a small
square area of translucent white with a darker circle on it. Hecate is
cloaked and accompanied by a snake and a small Hecate's wheel symbol.<br /> Approx 9cm long, approx 5cm at widest point, supplied with an adjustable brown cord<br /> £28 plus P&P</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Arianrhod<br /> <br />
Arianrhod is a Welsh Goddess of the moon, fate and fertility and her
name means silver wheel. The circumpolar stars, Caer Arianrhod, never
set below the horizon and are allegedly the resting place for souls
before reincarnation. Her silver wheel is often depicted as a wheel of
stars, the wheel of fate or the divine spinning wheel, weaving the web
of destiny.<br /> <br /> This Arianrhod pendant has a round, highly
pollished Devioian coral fossil from Africa (400 million years old) to
represent the moon above her head and surrounding the moon is a wheel of
stars.<br /> Approx 9cm long and 5cm wide at the widest point<br /> Supplied with a brown adjustable cord<br /> £28 plus P&P</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Gaia<br /> <br />
In Greek mythology Gaia was the great Mother of all, the personification
of the Earth.It is written that Gaia was born from the Chaos, the great
void of emptiness within the universe and with her came Eros. Gaia then
created everything: the land, the sky, the other Deities and the human
race. ‘All producing and all nourishing’ she had many, many children.
She gave birth to the Titans, the first race on the Earth and produced
monsters and deities alike as well as populating the earth with
countless creatures. She is honoured in modern times as a possible
saviour of the Earth during these times of pillage and looting.<br /> <br />
This Gaia pendant has a teardrop shaped moss agate cabochon,
representing the womb of Mother Earth. The water of life flows freely
from her collecting in a sacred spiral pool.<br /> Approx 9cm long, 6cm wide<br /> Supplied with a brown adjustable cord<br /> £28 plus P&P</span></span></div>

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">Magical little bottles for your wishes or spells. Also larger bottles for potions, spells or witches bottles.<br /> <br />
Witches bottles have been used for centuries. Originally they were
designed to protect people against witchcraft and sorcery. Nowadays
Witches themselves use them, mainly as a home protection spell.<br /> The
bottle is normally made of glass or pottery and contains items such as
pins, rusty nails, broken glass and the urine of the person making the
charm (this provides a magickal link to the person and although does not
sound pleasant, it is thought to be a most powerful ingredient in a
witches bottle). The sharp objects are used to deflect bad luck and ill
fortune. Salt can be added for purification along with other items of
your choice. (I always say, as long as you know why you are using
something in a spell, almost anything goes.) I have added Hawthorn
thorns from my garden, graveyard dirt, garlic, cactus spikes and egg
shells to various protection bottles in the past.<br /> The intention of
the witches bottle is protection for you and your family, including
family that visit your property and any pets that live with you,
protection against any negative forces, protection against damage to
your property whether from vandalism or the elements and allowing no ill
will to pass beyond your door into your home. The bottle will reflect
negativity and harm back to the sender- you are not sending out any ill
will or negativity, just asking that what has been sent gets returned to
sender. It is important to remember this as you do not want to be
sending out negativity yourself.<br /> <br /> The bottles can be charged up
with chants or during ritual or spell working. They can be buried in the
front of your property or hidden by your front door. I suggest either
re doing them or charging them back up at least once a year to keep them
working effectively. <br /> If you purchase a witches bottle I can supply
you with a list of ingredients and a chant to help you put together
your own bottle- free of charge, just ask when making your purchase.<br /> Luna x</span></div>

And my friend made one with me! Although the Sun Gods are done in the same way, The dolls are totally different, with their own beauty and spirits shining through.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">What is a spirit doll?<br /> <br /> Spirit
dolls can be found all over the world in many different cultures. They
can go by a variety of names such as Goddess dolls, art dolls, healing
dolls or amulet dolls. They can be made of almost any material- wood,
cloth, clay, stone, in various forms and can be made for almost any
purpose.<br /> <br /> In several countries in Africa, they have ‘fertility
Goddess dolls’ which are prayed to not only for the safe birth of strong
healthy babies but also the health and prosperity of the whole tribe.<br />
Native American Kachina dolls which the Hopi use to embody the
characters of the Kachinas, the powerful spirits of the earth, east,
west, south, north, the sky and water.<br /> <br /> What they all seem to
have in common is the Goddess and femininity. Goddesses have been
worshiped in Egyptian mythology, Norse, Celtic, Hinduism, Buddhism,
Paganism, Gnosticism, Wicca and Christianity. African cultures, ancient
India, the Caribbean and even European cultures all have sculptures and
figures representing the Goddess and their history and beliefs systems.
Dolls have been used as sacred items in religious ceremonies for many
hundreds of years, normally made to represent the Gods/Goddesses that
were worshiped.<br /> <br /> A spirit doll can be made for any purpose. They
can be an expression of Archetype or elemental energy, something you
yearn or wish for, something to be used for inspiration, creativity or
transformation, for protection and healing, the list really is endless.
By giving the energy you wish to work with a form, you enable it to work
consciously with you and you are able to have something tangible to
work with, a focus for your intent, energy work and meditation. It
becomes a physical representation of the energy you wish to work with or
manifest. You can imbue it with your desires and hopes and it becomes a
powerful tool for manifestation.<br /> I would not recommend invoking an
actual spirit/Goddess into the doll unless you are highly practiced in
such things and are aware of, and prepared for, the consequences of this
action.<br /> <br /> I like to look at spirit dolls like this: Do you
remember your favourite doll (or teddy, or toy) as a child? Did you
whisper your secrets to it? Did you tell it your hopes and dreams and
wished it could speak back to you? Did you take it everywhere with you?
Did holding it give you courage or make you feel safe? That’s what you
can have, on an adult level, with your spirit doll. Work with it, tell
it your hopes and dreams, your fears and wishes and let the energy
created between you help to manifest or banish them. The more you work
with your doll, the more energy created, the stronger the link and the
more powerful tool she will become to aid you in your magical workings
and daily life.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText"> </span><span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">My Spirit dolls<br /> Each doll is made
to order so can take between two-four weeks to create. Payment for
spirit dolls is required at time of order due to the personal aspects of
the creation.Please message me for more details.<br /> Spirit dolls: For
spirit dolls I use branches and twigs, either fallen or cut responsibly,
normally from my own garden, as the base of the doll. I then use
wadding and fabric scraps and add beads, crystals, gems, wire, feathers,
plant stuff, herbs, sigils and just about anything else that calls to
me in the creation of these dolls. I use polymer clay faces and a
variety of wool hair. If you have a specific requirement for your doll,
for instance if you would like a special herbal blend to be added then
this can be discussed. Prices will vary depending on materials used.</span></div>

It was a very horrible start to 2013 and there have been many changes in my world over the last nine months, but I am slowly getting back on track, although it is now a slightly different track in terms of this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have started making polymer clay jewellery again. I used to do this many, many years ago and after making my fairy doll earlier this year i got back into working with polymer clay. I have been selling my creations, which also incude crystal healing wands, driftwood and woodland wands on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lunaartiow" target="_blank">facebook </a>and at local craft fairs and festivals all summer, along with my paintings and art work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This blog will be mainly to showcase my creations as many people keep asking me to set up a website as they don't use facebook and want to be able to see and purchase my jewellery. I may still make random posts or show my art journal stuff as I am still art journalling, i just don't have as much time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blessings,</div>

Hello there! Many of you have probably forgotten who I am as it has been about 6/7 weeks since I last blogged or visited any of your blogs. Apologies for that, all I can say is that it has been an awful start to the year in our household and as such I have not had the time, energy or inclination to blog. (I will try to get round and catch up on your blogs in the next two weeks.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in an effort to pull myself out of this funk that has descended upon me, I have forced myself to do my rocking post because there have been a few shining moments, nothing huge, but then it tends to be the little things that add up doesn't it? And I have to remember that all is not bad, there are lots of gratefuls to be had, they are always there even when you have to look harder to find them and that's the whole point of <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Virginia's Rocking your world Friday!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here goes...</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This will be a very short RYWF post as this is the first day I have managed to get out of bed since Christmas afternoon. What started out as a headache and stupid cough on the 23rd Dec, had turned into Bronchitis by Christmas day evening and I had to have the doctor out as I could not breathe. I have been in bed since, I don't think I have ever been this poorly before, its totally knocked the stuffing out of me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhow, enough of that, if you want to play along just put together a list of all your gratefuls in the last week and link up with our host <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Virginia</a>.</div>

*After watching the sun come up we all went for breakfast together at Weatherspoons. You can't beat a nice veggie breakfast after you've climbed a huge hill in the dark!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Our friends had asked us to do some Yule stuff with them at their yoga studio so after breakfast we all went back to the studio where we did a Yule meditation, made pomanders with oranges and cloves and made wishes on a yule log. It was a lovely morning spent with wonderful friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*In the evening it was our Yule Celebration which went really well followed by a lovely dinner with my pagan family and exchanging Yule gifts. We each give something handmade, I received a scarf, clay ornaments with seeds inside-you plant the ornament and when the clay disintegrates the seeds start to grow and a bag with altar tools inside- really wonderful imaginative gifts! </div>

For the Yule gifts I gave, I made books of my pagan poetry and art work.The group I belong to always ask for copies of my poems so I thought I would put them all together in a book each for them. I had some help with the order of printing the pages as that really confused me, but other than that, all my own work! The book covers were done with grunge paper (I would have liked to use leather but couldn't afford it!)</div>

*Christmas day- thankful to see my kids faces when they opened their gifts, thankful that my kids were grateful for everything they got. Thankful that our whole family spent the day together, thankful that my sister helped cooked the Christmas dinner with me, not so thankful that I had to go to bed by 4pm, extremely thankful that a wonderful doctor came out to me Christmas night and helped me breathe again!!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
* Extremely thankful to my amazing, wonderful husband and my wonderful son who have been running around after me, checking on me, bringing me tablets and cups of tea, changing dvd's for me and doing anything else I have asked them to do. My daughter came down with a cold on the 27th so they have been running around after her as well, plus looking after our friends two dogs. Now my hubby has a cold and my son is not feeling great but they wont go to bed as they are still insisting on looking after me. They are the most amazing family in the world and I do not know what I would do without them.They are the ones that rock my world, not just this week, but every single day.</div>

Hello! It's Friday again and that means taking a look at all the positives of the last week, no matter how big or small. If you would like to play along you need to link up with Virginia over at her <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">blog.</a></div>

* I decorated my altar for Yule this week. Now, I am going to post photos of it because it makes me happy. In the past when I have posted stuff about being pagan, I noticed I lost a couple of followers so I don't really post any pagan stuff now. But I thought, Sod it!! It's my blog, it's who I am and if i lose followers so be it! Hopefully most people are tolerant of other peoples beliefs and if they are not I don't want them following me anyway!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yule or the Winter Solstice as it is also known, celebrates the return of the sun to earth. The 21st Dec is the shortest day of the year and the longest night, but from this point on the days will get a little longer, the nights a little shorter until we reach Litha, the summer solstice when it will reverse again. At Yule we also acknowledge the end of the Holly Kings rule and the start of the Oak kings rule.</div>

I find most of my inspiration for my art and creativity comes from my beliefs and the nature all around me. Making the candle spiral and the little suns for instance, such fun but I didn't want to post them on here for fear of what people will think. A lot of the stuff on my altar has been handmade by me, like the painting, the Goddess dolls and the clay Goddess statue and prayer beads. So now I am coming out of the broom closet and I hope I don't offend anyone by showing things I have created for my beliefs, as I would like to be able post ALL the things I make.<br />

* On Saturday I dragged my Son to St. Thomas church to make a Christmas wreath. We have been doing this for the last three years now but I was not going to bother this year until I saw that I had a comment on last weeks blog post from the lovely Janette (check out her <a href="http://ajsartjournal.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> to see her amazing art journals)Janette lives in the same town as me, just around the corner from the house I grew up in, but we have never met although we have been following each others blogs for a while now. She mentioned in her comment that she was going to be at the wreath making all day and was taking her art journals along to see how much interest there would be for a workshop she is running next year. Well, I couldn't miss the opportunity of meeting her and seeing, in real life, her fantastic art journals so I went along and am so glad I did! Janette was so lovely and we had a great chat about her journals and the art retreat she had been on where she took classes with Teesha Moore. I got to spend ages looking and touching all her journals, which was amazing. Hopefully we are going to meet up for a coffee and chat some more, it will be so nice to have an art journal friend in real life!!!!</div>

* My fairy is coming along nicely at Fairy club. She is painted now and I have started adding the clothes. I have also bought some purple hair for her. She is nothing like what I wanted to create. I wanted her to be a green lady of the forest with green flowing robes and oak leaf shaped wings with leaves painted onto her face. Instead she is turning into a mischievous fairy with a huge padded bum and great boobies! She is going to have big stompy DM style boots, a leather under corset with see through blouse underneath so you can still catch a glimpse of her boobies and hopefully dragonfly shaped wings. Menna, the lady who teaches us, says the fairy emerges as she wants to emerge and she is definitely right.Paige also said that she feels there is an aspect of your personality that comes through as well, sort of like an alter ego and I have to say-Yes! If I could dress like my fairy and stomp around the woods all day I would!</div>

Well, that's enough from me this week! I probably won't post again until after Christmas as next Friday it is Yule and I will be up at stupid o clock to walk up to the Longstone and watch the sunrise with friends, then we are off to have breakfast at Weatherspoons to celebrate my birthday, followed by a meditation in the afternoon and Yule celebrations in the evening, on the Saturday it's my birthday so I am going to chill out with family and friends and then my sister is making me dinner, on Sunday we will have to battle Tesco for the Xmas food shopping and then its Xmas eve!!</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you all have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas, however you celebrate and a good start to the New Year!</div>
<div align="center">
Blessed Be!</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a day late for RYWF, if you want to link up go to <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Virginias blog</a> to play along. She is our wonderful, inspirational host for this weekly look at all our gratefuls.</div>

You are going to have to read this post with your head cocked to the right as blogger has put my photos on the wrong way round-all but the last three! I don't know why it does this to me, I have tried five times and it still wants to put them on sideways!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*On Saturday the kids and me put the Christmas tree up. Amazingly the tree lights worked-every year we put them away working and when we get them out the next year they no longer work! We changed our colour scheme this year as all our decs were looking a bit tatty-they were given to me by my mum 15 years ago and they were on her tree before that! We have gone with pale green and lilac for the baubles and it looks lovely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*We took the kids up to Busy Bee, our local garden centre to get their new ornament each on Saturday. Every year the kids get a new ornament for the tree and then when they move out of home they will each have their own set of decorations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*On Sunday we went to the Christmas Market. This is the first time anyone has attempted to hold a Christmas Market on the IOW. They have done it at the Tank Museum in Cowes. Now, lots of people have slated this event on Facebook but I found it ok, not as big or spectacular as it had been made out to be but It was free entry and free parking so that was a plus. There were stalls, but not really any handmade/crafty items which I would have liked to have seen. They were mostly stalls from people who own shops and had bought their stock over to sell there. There were maybe 4/5 stalls outside, all in little wooden sheds and there were about 6 food stalls which were quite expensive. In the museum they had created a Dickensian High st which looked lovely and obviously a lot of work had gone into it, but again, the sellers were not great-more shop stock. There was a Santa's grotto but it was £8 to see Santa and another £4.50 if you wanted a photo which I thought was very expensive, especially if you had more than one child. Outside they had built an ice rink which I thought was a lovely touch and you could go skating until 11pm at night. There was Christmas music and a fake snow machine blowing snow everywhere and they had a band playing Christmas music. I thought it was a nice atmosphere, a lot of work had gone into setting it up, the stalls were not great but for an hours free fun on a Sunday afternoon it was fine.</div>

I paid for Shelby to hold a huge Eagle owl- she thought it was amazing and I got lots of photos. The money went to the bird rescue place that had brought the birds to the market so I didn't mind paying the £2.</div>

* I have new purple suede gloves I bought at the Christmas market</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* We went to Shelby's parents evening this week. All of the teachers we saw were very pleased with how well she is doing. They all said such lovely things about her-what a delight she was to teach, a lovely child, wonderful manners, hard worker, popular- it is so lovely to hear such nice things about your child!! Her grades are all spot on and she is a whole level above most of the class in French so we are really proud of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Me and Caleb went to see his school's production of Jesus Christ Superstar on Thursday. It blew me away!! It was so professional-just like a London Theatre performance. The students were amazing, fantastic acting and their singing was out of this world. The set was spectacular and the Cross at the end was on a hydraulic lift so when the actor was put on it, it was then raised 16 foot into the air. The whole performance was dramatic, visually stunning, intense and I cried at the end.Even the programme was done superbly-it was written like the bible and on the last page was a photo of the boy who played JC and underneath was the funny quote from Monty Python-'He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy' which had Caleb and me in stitches. We had a fab evening and now Caleb has to write a review for the school magazine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
* I sent my secret Santa gift off this week for Carmen's Secret Santa swap and mine arrived on Tuesday-I really want to open it but am trying hard to be good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Also arriving in the post this week and the postman had to listen to my excited squeal, was my Gelli Arts printing plate. I was supposed to wait until after Xmas but I thought what the hell and ordered it when Stu ordered my birthday present from Art from the Heart at the weekend.( which are set of the new Montanna acrylic pens, which I have stroked but am not allowed to have until my birthday-Boo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a wonderful time on Thursday playing with the gelli print plate, i had paint everywhere, every surface was covered in prints or painty stencils- it took me over half an hour to clean the mess up when I had finished, but worth it as I ended up with some lovely pages to use.</div>

I might join the mail art challenge over at Collabor-art now I have all these wonderful backgrounds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Wonderful reiki share at group on Wednesday, which I needed as my back was playing up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Coffee- I have been drinking so much coffee as my craft room is soooo cold. My computer is in my craft room and that's where I also do all my Equals work as I do the admin side of my work from home. So I spend most of each day out there in the cold. I have taken to wearing my dressing gown over my clothes and wearing the fingerless gloves my sister made me last year! The coffee is helping to keep me warm so I am grateful for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* As always, grateful for my wonderful kids and hubby, great family and friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it for this week, hope you all have a wonderful week,</div>

Apologies, apologies, apologies! I have been a very bad blogger for not posting in a month and for not even managing to find the time to come and check out all the blogs I follow. I have been so busy with work and home life these last few weeks, anything I do for me has just slipped by the wayside.</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, catching up on Rocking your world Friday, hosted by the lovely <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Virginia.</a></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In no particular order as I am just trying to remember everything...</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Park of the Dead was a fantastic experience, luckily I didn't get eaten by any of the zombies although they did scare the hell out of me! The event was put together so well, even the tiniest details were thought about to make the whole night fantastic. Will definitely be signing up for next year.</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I have taken some of my art work to a gallery on the Island, scary and I don't know if anything will sell, but the owner liked the stuff. I have another four paintings at a Christmas event at Ventnor Library, so possibly will have a little cash to buy art supplies after Xmas...I really want one of those gelli art plates!</div>

<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Finishing the body and face of my fairy that I am making at fairy club and painting her face so she looks'real' now. Just have to dress her and give her some hair.</div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The reason for me being so neglectful of my blog-funding applications to keep my job. Have managed to secure funding for a little while longer, so the group keeps going and I get to continue working with such a wonderful bunch of women.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Getting my Painting back from the Collabor-art 'Pass the painting' swap. It looks fantastic and so great to see all the layers each person has added.</div>

We each made wishes and were given a blessing each and then one of the women sang for us. It is so amazing to be able to celebrate and learn about all these different festivals and celebrations with such an amazing group of women.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Getting tickets for Damh the Bard in January</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Completing all my Yule gifts and my Secret Santa present for Carmen's Secret Santa</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Great dinner conversations with the kids over the last few weeks, ranging from 'do we believe in the tooth fairy still' to 'being pressured into sex'- very big leap! (Shelby lost her last baby tooth and Caleb has just completed training at school to teach the younger children about peer pressure and sex in their PHSE lessons)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Seeing Shelby perform in the annual show put on by the Dance academy school she attends. She was amazing, even if I do say so myself, doing a Hip Hop routine with the rest of her class.

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that time of the week again and for the second time in a row I am actually posting on a Friday! pop over to Virginias<a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Blog</a> to find out more and check out the other Rockette posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept a daily list this week to help me remember everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Making wedding stuff with my sister and Teresa. My little sis is getting married next year and we are trying to make as much as possible for it. We have already made and sent out the save the dates, we have finished the invitations, discussed the alterations for the bridesmaids dresses so we sat down on Saturday to make the 'guest book'. She is not having a traditional guest book she is having a branch arrangement on each table and then we have made leaves (on the cricut) which the guests will write their messages on and hang from the branches. The leaves will also double as the named place settings for each table. We had a production line going with Teresa putting the cardstock on the cricut mats, me cutting them and Zoe punching the hole in them. Then we sat and threaded jute through each leaf so they can be hung. We also made some extra little leaves to put on the branches already for decoration. We were going to use vases to put the branches in but Zoe found these beautiful little table arrangements at Dunhelm mill that look like little nests so we are going to stick the branches in them. It should look fab!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* A good friend cheering me up on Saturdayy, I have had a really down couple of months for many stupid reasons, but a good chat with her and I felt a lot better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday:
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I was a naughty girl on Sunday and used some of my art money (the money I have made from selling my artwork) to go and buy an iPod touch. I really wanted an iPad but that was way out of my price range and most of the things I wanted the iPad for I can do on the touch, like facebook and Instagram. I also bought a purple case for it. Paige came over and helped me set it up (or I should say did it for me, I am not very good with the technical stuff) and added all the apps I wanted and my music. This resulted in bursts of happy dancing all day, much to the amusement of my family! What can I say, little things make me happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Watching Prometheus on Sunday night with Stu and Caleb. I didn't know if I would be able to follow this film as it's so long since I saw Alien and it wasn't really my cup of tea, but I enjoyed the prequel and thought they had done it really well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Watching a huge flock of birds, hundreds of them, swooping and soaring right above my garden while having my morning cup of coffee. I don't think I have seen so many birds before and it was amazing to watch them twisting in and out of each other, creating these huge sweeping patterns in the sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* On Tuesday the Equals Culture Kitchen Project (which I run) went to Medina House School to provide ethnic dance and cooking for the pupils there. Medina House is a school for severely disabled children and I was worried that I might find it upsetting but it was the most uplifting experience. The staff there are amazing and so dedicated and it was so wonderful to see all the children participating in this event. All the children got up to dance with the ladies and the staff twirled the children in wheelchairs around and helped them clap their hands. The dance session overran by 20 minutes as the kids were having so much fun! We had to adapt our cookery as they have no cooking facilities and the children were not allowed to use knives, but we came up with a good menu of ethnic food for them, Kimbop which is a Korean dish similar to sushi, rice and vegetables wrapped in seaweed, and Dadar Gulong which is Indonesian sweet coconut crepes. All of the kids tried the food and some were able to help put the vegetables in the Kimbop and make their own crepes. It was their harvest festival this week so we also took in a big box of exotic fruits for them such as dragon fruit, star fruit, cape gooseberries etc so the children that couldn't help make their own food got to touch and feel all these fruits. It was such an amazing day and projects like this make me really appreciate the job that I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wednesday:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I woke up Wednesday with a stinking cold and felt really lousy. This is the second cold this month, I really need to up my dose of vitamin C! I managed to package up all my affirmation cards which I am taking to the gallery/shop next week along with my paintings and prints and then I went up to bed at 2pm as I just felt so awful. Stu came home from work and cooked tea for everyone and took Shelby to Tesco to buy some things to put in her shoebox for the shoebox appeal she's doing at school. He is such a sweetheart and I don't know what I would do without him, so am grateful this week for how he looks after me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* My Dad turned up a day early to put my new cabinet on the wall. I was given a lovely display cabinet for my crystals by the wonderful Menna (the fairy workshop lady!) and my Dad was going to come on Friday morning and put it up but he had some free time yesterday so turned up with his drill. After it was up, I spent a good hour arranging some of my collection of crystals in it until it looked perfect and then sat on the floor just looking at it for ten minutes with a big smile on my face! Thank you Menna, Thank you Dad!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
* Caleb and his Lego have made me smile this week. We have enough Lego in our house to build our own legoland! Caleb has been collecting Lego since he was four and he is fifteen now. I love the fact that even though he is a teenager he has not outgrown it and still sits for hours putting together the most amazing creations. This is one of his 'small' creations he designed on Thursday evening. It opens up and has computers, guns, lasers, teleporters, blast somethings etc all inside. I just love his creativity!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
* And the biggest and bestest thing to rock my world this week was hearing that Carmen had finally had her baby!! The lovely ladies of the Wednesday Whine group have all been on tenderhooks for the last few days, checking our FB page every five minutes for news and finally last night Carmen's daughter posted the first photos of Bubba. Way to go Carmen, big hugs and lots of love from us all! Considering I have never met any of the ladies from WW in real life, the support, kindness and laughs from everyone is amazing and I think we were all clucking like mother hens waiting for news of Carmen's bubba!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I found out that the Equals Friendship group have been successful in their funding application so that means that the group can run for another year and I still have a job!! It is such a relief as I have been in panic mode the last few months, knowing that our funding is running out, hating the fact that that would mean the end of our group and my job. I can breathe easy for another year now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I am going to <a href="http://www.parkofthedead.co.uk/" target="_blank">PARK OF THE DEAD</a> tonight and I am so excited. It is the first time they have run this event but the effort they have put into the publicising of it has been amazing It's all over FB, they had an entry in this years carnival to promote it and today we have been getting updates all morning on FB saying things like 'one of the experiments has escaped' and 'one of the park security force has been hurt in an incident'. It's really helping to set the scene for tonight! I know I will be screaming a lot and holding tight to Stu, telling myself 'it's not real' over and over again! We are not allowed to take photos on the tour but maybe Paige will manage to sneak a few with her phone and I can post them on here next week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that's it for this weeks Rocking post, not a bad week all in all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This bit of the post is for Carmen who wanted me to post the painting I did for her and it's the least I can do today as she has just given birth!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sent this to Carmen a few weeks ago as a gift for the Bubba. It is called ' May you always be watched over'. There is a lot of symbolism specific to Carmen in it, which I wont go into. Anyway, she said she loved it so that made me happy!!</div>

* On Sunday it was Oakley's 2nd birthday (the black and tan cocker spaniel in the photo and the golden ones Willow, his older half sister).He is such a little dufus dog but we love him dearly. They had just had a bath in the photo so still look a little damp!They had a big meaty bone each for Oakley's birthday treat.</div>

*Also on Sunday, Caleb and me took the dogs to this little secluded beach we know so they could have a good run and a swim in the sea. I also needed to collect some more sea glass for the mobiles I am making. The beach was deserted and we spent a lovely hour watching the dogs having fun and searching amongst the shingle for glass.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
* The rain has really been coming down this week, but I did see this beautiful rainbow from my back doorstep. The photo isn't great, the rainbow was really vibrant and huge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I also spent some time with my nephew this week as he was down for a few days from Crawley. He will be 17 next month and I have to wonder where the time has gone when I see him and he's so tall and grown up now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* My new hoody finally arrived this week. I have been waiting 7 weeks for it to turn up. It is a beautiful purple and turquoise patchwork type one from Joe Brown and I just had to have it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I ordered the first of the Xmas presents this week from Amazon and they have arrived and been put away from prying eyes! I do need to get more organised as these are all I have bought so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I have been working on secret Yule gifts for my pagan family the last couple of weeks. We always make gifts for each other to celebrate Yule, rather than get caught up in the commercialism that is Xmas!! I do think a handmade gift can be so much more thoughtful most times and I have enjoyed working out how I am going to put my gifts together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's about it for this week, it's been a very quiet week with me mostly working and not getting much else done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished a painting I was working on last week. I am pleased with the end result and find I am really enjoying the freedom of this abstract style art.I used acrylics, ink sprays, texture paste, stencils and paint pens.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Friday Rockers. I have fallen behind again, both with my blogging and with catching up on other peoples blogs and have not joined in with Rockers for a couple of weeks...sorry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pop over to <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Virginia's blog</a>, our wonderful host, to join in with us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So digging very deep this week for my silver linings, my list of gratefuls and things that have made me happy, but I have managed it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* My son, Caleb being chosen for vice house captain for his senior prefect role. I am so proud of him, he is the perfect role model. He applied to be a prefect and was then asked to attend an interview and give a presentation as he had been nominated for a senior role. I think he did extremely well to be chosen for one of the positions as there were lots of people who applied and didn't even get a prefect role. Also at 7pm on the day he found out, the head teacher of the school phoned me to tell me how wonderful my son was, how proud the school was of him and how he is going to achieve amazing things this year! I was gob smacked that the head had taken the time to ring all the parents and say such lovely things, obviously in his own time too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkI7ZUnRFYPCFJrT2DdSkrNPAhkd44G6CaKBK4T9WwvAvSAGU6Pp4LJxcFJXu5e25WKEFE-Z98Ao0hq24OSAzBrUNs0_supuMayCOB-ipMJPntYGo-AUxb_n7Yqk0D7HfiPfm9mTWaagk/s1600/PA080030a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkI7ZUnRFYPCFJrT2DdSkrNPAhkd44G6CaKBK4T9WwvAvSAGU6Pp4LJxcFJXu5e25WKEFE-Z98Ao0hq24OSAzBrUNs0_supuMayCOB-ipMJPntYGo-AUxb_n7Yqk0D7HfiPfm9mTWaagk/s400/PA080030a.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Caleb with his vice captain badge, he's still waiting for his prefect badge to arrive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The Equals Friendship Group that I run held a very successful curry night on the 29th Sept. We did this to raise the rent money for the scout hut we use for our weekly meetings. We offered two different types of chicken curry, one Thai and one Indian, a vegetable curry, Aloo Boona (dry potato curry), onion bhaji, prawn crackers and four different types of rice. People could eat in or just come and get a takeaway and we served nearly 100 people on the night, raising £469 and £39 on a raffle. Everyone commented on how wonderful the food was and asked when the next one would be! It took two full days of food prep, we peeled 20kg of potato's and 10kg of onions between us, so I think we will leave it a few months before our next one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Also, our first Equals Friendship group baby was born on Thurs 4th Oct. Both mummy and baby are doing well and we can't wait to meet the new edition to our group!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The generosity of the women from the friendship group. We have not been able to meet at our hall for the last 6 weeks as a new roof is being put on. We could not afford to hire anywhere else so the women have taken it in turns to hold the meetings at their houses. Not only have they opened up their homes to all us, they have also each prepared lunch for the whole group each week. Hmm, not sure if I want to go back to the hall now for our meetings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The wonderful reiki share ladies for an excellent session this week which left me feeling a lot more positive than I have in a while. Everyone has such a lovely energy and I always get so much out of our meetings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Watching my husband Stu teaching our daughter his dance moves this week. Shelby does hiphop lessons and has done for the last four years. She is currently working at her level five certificate and had to put some moves together and choose some music for them. Stu is much more 'hip' than me when it comes to music so they started going through all the cd's and then Stu put some music on and started showing Bea his moves. Now, Stu is a really good dancer, that is how I met him. I saw him dancing in a nightclub and his dancing really impressed me so I was stood watching him and when the song finished he came over and asked me to dance. Watching him dancing with our daughter really brought all those memories back and made me think how lucky I am to be sat here watching these two dancing round the front room together 15 years later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* My friend Paige for giving me a huge pile of clothes this week that she no longer wanted. I hate clothes shopping, it depresses me no end, so now I have some lovely new clothes and I didn't have to put myself through any tears or tantrums! Thanks P.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*The wonderful Wednesday Whine group. You ladies are all fantastic and I wish I knew you in real life so we could all get together and have a few glasses of wine! Thank you x</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Re watching Supernatural right from season one. I love this show and was ill with a really bad cold/flu bug last weekend and I thought what better to cheer me up than a bit of Dean and Sam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*My kids, who do or say something to make me smile everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* My hubby, who always does everything in his power to make my life easier. I am so blessed to have him in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Seeing that the little Robin family is back in may garden for the winter. They have been here since we moved in 8 years ago but I was worried that they wouldn't come back this year and we had the hedges cut right down really low this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I managed to list 12 things so that's not so bad is it? I must try harder to do this post every week because there is ALWAYS something that has been a positive, even if I have to look harder some weeks than others!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just wanted to also share some art work I have managed to get done this week. They are all acrylic, spray inks, stamps, stencils and pen on watercolour paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's rocking time again, the time of the week to dig deep and find all those positives and gratefuls. I am linking this up with our wonderful host <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Virginia</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* My Dad was 60 in April and on Saturday night him and three of his friends from school, who all turned 60 this year had a huge birthday bash. It was great to see him enjoying himself, fit and well after his cancer two years ago. They had live music from a very well known band on the Island and they were fantastic. (Unfortunately after the party when they were loading their van back up with their equipment, some little moron jumped in the van and drove off with it. One of the band members who was in the back got thrown out into the road and had to go to hospital. The police later found the van burned out with the equipment still inside-a 1970's original drum kit and amps. But that's enough of the down side as I am supposed to be concentrating on the positive!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*My DS, Caleb, got a letter from the headteacher to say that he has been accepted as a prefect. It also said that staff were asked to comment on his suitability for a senior role (head boy or house captain) and could he attend an interview for a senior role and do a 3 minute presentation on Thursday for the headteacher and head of year! He spent all of Wednesday night preparing his presentation on what he could bring to the role and he was really nervous Thursday morning when he got up! When he got home from school i asked how it went and he thought he did well. The teachers commented on how well prepared he was and what a good presentation it was. He went through what questions they had asked him and what his responses were and they impressed me! He should hear next week so fingers crossed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I have a job interview next week, on the same day that I have a family funeral to go to. Fingers crossed for me as well, that the interview goes well and I get out in enough time to attend the funeral.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I had a little trip to the crystal shop on Wednesday with Paige. I only spent £4 though so am in no trouble this time from my hubby!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Paige's Hubby photographed all my paintings this week for me, as the shop that is going to take two of them wanted photos first. The photos look great and I will be able to make prints as well from them. Thanks Trav, I owe you some beer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Watching Avengers Assemble with Stu and the kids. We never made it to the cinema to watch this so we bought it on special from Tesco. I really enjoyed it and I didn't realise until I saw the credits that it was written by Joss Whedon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Autumn is on it's way, the sun is still shining but theres a chill in the air. This is my Fave season, nice walks in the woods with the leaves falling, hot chocolate, cosy jumpers and boots!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that's it for my list of positives this week. Check out the other rockettes to see what lifted them up this week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally managed to get some work done in my pair journal. I didn't even pick it up throughout the school holidays so it was hard to get back into it. I am doing this pair journal with Sue over on the <a href="http://collabor-art.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">collabor-art blog</a>. I was working in my journal this time and the theme is round and round.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added the freaky skull like drawing to this page with Indian ink and a few more words</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9rie6Kzuaj4u7WTP18QYIVSFia3jY1Woxi89qOBrlXoRaypOrpNCvuEEXB5EwtwlWr36sm56SwNGeglnaChnU7jZF8F8uCFeXtiLcb4ijCClk0Ls2lyACUGJmtaH6rcaOJKfG0pEQijQ/s1600/P9210306+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9rie6Kzuaj4u7WTP18QYIVSFia3jY1Woxi89qOBrlXoRaypOrpNCvuEEXB5EwtwlWr36sm56SwNGeglnaChnU7jZF8F8uCFeXtiLcb4ijCClk0Ls2lyACUGJmtaH6rcaOJKfG0pEQijQ/s400/P9210306+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some doodling of seed and pod heads</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_SaOIuBMOH0egFnoZ7foOTD6LXPQYinkgIN0ccy08ykQvLGuhxGOnqjQC7vKgIIR21LA9BQJkb4rRkKG1O1zC_YGm6_vB_a3ql3Ukl7pld4pxyTucMj-nHHggK5gqg7t7TTVcbkpH0k/s1600/P9210309+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz_SaOIuBMOH0egFnoZ7foOTD6LXPQYinkgIN0ccy08ykQvLGuhxGOnqjQC7vKgIIR21LA9BQJkb4rRkKG1O1zC_YGm6_vB_a3ql3Ukl7pld4pxyTucMj-nHHggK5gqg7t7TTVcbkpH0k/s400/P9210309+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sue had done this page with the fab googly eyes. I added the speech bubbles and some red circles in the background</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iFoMY5qJEQtIyOQp0mCB5KzGarYS5IFDtkj-nXGoMN1DQVmaOn8q2PQMvTqLjw73Ysflb9cmvmEVhna1st8LDnem1W4Vwl6PbcM2ehv852j4mjt-ebpZl-lMYRjqUhHOciSIRGQ1_hE/s1600/P9210310+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5iFoMY5qJEQtIyOQp0mCB5KzGarYS5IFDtkj-nXGoMN1DQVmaOn8q2PQMvTqLjw73Ysflb9cmvmEVhna1st8LDnem1W4Vwl6PbcM2ehv852j4mjt-ebpZl-lMYRjqUhHOciSIRGQ1_hE/s400/P9210310+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved this magazine image, I thought she looked like a giant sea anemone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPQ1dkwAc7Xhh5R41JpKagrEvCgHlaaK8UajKRAFBgV239hyphenhyphenNedntFBwguG0XiHRnOJfZqbxlaQJ0W43LajHEETkWga_A6Nv58S8xi59Di0dBzFf0EvffDwjh7IUW6VQ84yvoHSrnXgk/s1600/P9210312+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPQ1dkwAc7Xhh5R41JpKagrEvCgHlaaK8UajKRAFBgV239hyphenhyphenNedntFBwguG0XiHRnOJfZqbxlaQJ0W43LajHEETkWga_A6Nv58S8xi59Di0dBzFf0EvffDwjh7IUW6VQ84yvoHSrnXgk/s400/P9210312+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sue had started this page with the yellow background and the journalling spots with black stems. I added the word flower (which I am not to pleased with, I may have to paint over that!) and the little leaves to the stem, some washi tape 'grass' and darkened the background with ink and a flower stencil.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg68RiuDjOD2ECtfN68TnNAsW12-0ikhwJ8YxMrn-k-QV38UnFWkNL-7lCTa3Va-4YdTuWjxzAHy-RR50KnWtd_2G3Dnt0qVqjNOkggaNHO8es9WOkqwXWpV2XAYVOwKGCZZ9BhHGFl92E/s1600/P9210315+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg68RiuDjOD2ECtfN68TnNAsW12-0ikhwJ8YxMrn-k-QV38UnFWkNL-7lCTa3Va-4YdTuWjxzAHy-RR50KnWtd_2G3Dnt0qVqjNOkggaNHO8es9WOkqwXWpV2XAYVOwKGCZZ9BhHGFl92E/s400/P9210315+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another of Sue's started pages. I added the clock hands, the stamped clock and 'time flies' image on tissue paper and the words.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5oyj8ftAT3PehT1YqdUm1MBF-4XUFmeWX8JFI-6TXOMprkmP8_eYdC1Tleyen4b6MVSehZKK6bXU3wnnrRpS-c4BG9sqVw9lsll9FOwOH9GEhIV-0aTQCToIOQq2AHIaJohyphenhyphen6rvO2Q0/s1600/P9210317+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5oyj8ftAT3PehT1YqdUm1MBF-4XUFmeWX8JFI-6TXOMprkmP8_eYdC1Tleyen4b6MVSehZKK6bXU3wnnrRpS-c4BG9sqVw9lsll9FOwOH9GEhIV-0aTQCToIOQq2AHIaJohyphenhyphen6rvO2Q0/s400/P9210317+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had done the background on this page with paint left over from another project and then added a spider web and dandelions and some journalling.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVoFEOnY-_yv71qlue3g_h71T6WxHmwg6SOVsp7Jz4O-gjXiaeA9Z9YTknion6NbK1CFvgm1qaEEzsi87PCJttX1lzM6tlEs_AwjYKlhcZeF5NolbfwBxWnBZDaOdp2gaoY7s9yTH1oc/s1600/P9210318+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXVoFEOnY-_yv71qlue3g_h71T6WxHmwg6SOVsp7Jz4O-gjXiaeA9Z9YTknion6NbK1CFvgm1qaEEzsi87PCJttX1lzM6tlEs_AwjYKlhcZeF5NolbfwBxWnBZDaOdp2gaoY7s9yTH1oc/s400/P9210318+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used printed scrapbook paper for the background on this page, covered with paint and stencilling then added the balloon from an old book page and a compass and the letter stickers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhESNfI2pBZs2OJfOWFQpS0jpv_BWwRGgDlaEXv7N35GkyWOO-lgSf38ZXGC1dTh5KHxkdEyvBytsKdXa9xmfEyXirrYaKTiD6GVQov6f70QtgsI8zb4xuiABVTP5Uih69HYGjcZt3wGNM/s1600/P9210320+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhESNfI2pBZs2OJfOWFQpS0jpv_BWwRGgDlaEXv7N35GkyWOO-lgSf38ZXGC1dTh5KHxkdEyvBytsKdXa9xmfEyXirrYaKTiD6GVQov6f70QtgsI8zb4xuiABVTP5Uih69HYGjcZt3wGNM/s400/P9210320+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sue had started this page off with some yellow cogs so I just continued on that theme, layering up with masks and ink and stamps on tissue paper and then outlined the cogs to make them stand out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie2o8_cuYG72u9EVuOoW3eNCPkqoxh9bNeEtbTpIUa-MtYhWYzrhaj2aMzO5nZYvnHWmW4QWwAZSupizOWH6dAmo21RcbzZi1QYiii93jtvbXFdJ5-QwywhnrdGhxKOh7hRezQjvkNLSc/s1600/P9210322+(Small).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie2o8_cuYG72u9EVuOoW3eNCPkqoxh9bNeEtbTpIUa-MtYhWYzrhaj2aMzO5nZYvnHWmW4QWwAZSupizOWH6dAmo21RcbzZi1QYiii93jtvbXFdJ5-QwywhnrdGhxKOh7hRezQjvkNLSc/s400/P9210322+(Small).JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another of Sue's pages. I added the ruler stamp, tape measure washi tape and gave it a very light wash of watercolour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the two paintings that I am taking to the shop in Cowes. Trav took the professional photos for me!</div>

<div align="center">
It's been a hard few weeks this end, but I have pulled myself together enough to list some of my gratefuls. Loads probably got lost along the way but I will do my best to remember them.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
* First up, a huge thank you to the Wednesday Whine group. You ladies are fantastic! I can't tell you how much your support and kind words mean to me. You Rock!!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
*My DD was pictured twice in her school newsletter this week, enjoying the end of term festivities.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
*Helping my son write his formal letter to the head teacher to apply to be a prefect. He didn't want to 'big' himself up in the letter so I did, that's what proud mums do isn't it?! He has heard he's made the list and also got a couple of ticks for the head boy position. Fingers crossed, he should hear next week.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div align="center">
*My DD, Shelby, took part in the IOW scooter rally a couple of weeks ago with her Grandad. She bought herself a scooter tshirt and wore my very old cherry red DM's to look the part. She had a great time and made it there and back in one piece. It's a standing family joke that I worry so much when one of the kids does the rideout with my Dad, so I got a text from her that said 'I'm alive!!!' when they arrived at their destination.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
*The kids going back to school! I love my kids dearly, I love spending time with them in the holidays, I love the lack of routine for 6 weeks, but the silence in my house on the first day back to school was wonderful!!!</div>

*Watching the Hunger games on DVD and then reading the books. I enjoyed the film, I thought it was well done, but I didn't realise how much it would upset me. Kids killing kids, very disturbing. The books I really loved (weird as its still the same as the film), I suppose because you got to read more of how they felt and the back story.</div>

*Getting ready for the big secret fairy party a few weeks ago. We went to a friends house to get ready and made a day of it. We finished the last details on our costumes, had a BBQ and the wonderful Menna did all our face painting. Unfortunately the party was not as expected, but the least said about that the better!</div>

*Getting tickets for Park of the Dead at Halloween. This looks to be an amazing interactive zombie experience and I can't wait! Tickets went on sale at 8.30am the other Saturday and when we got there at 9am to buy ours they were already half sold out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
*Meeting up with the friendship group ladies after our 6 week break. We can't use our normal hall at the moment as the roof is being re-done so we met at one of the ladies houses and were treated to a full on BBQ and curry delight!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*My friend arranged for me to take some of my paintings and prints to a shop in Cowes this week. She is always asking in shops if they would be interested in seeing my stuff..I am just not brave enough to ask myself! Anyway, I took my stuff over and when we walked in it was more like a gallery than a shop with the most amazing art work on display. I thought I would be laughed right out the door but the lady was very complimentary about my work. She said some of the work was not really them (the pagan/goddess inspired pieces) but she loved two of my paintings, a small mixed media one and a bigger abstract one, and she wants them for the shop but I have to get them framed first. She also wants all my prints, my affirmation cards and my sea glass mobiles for Christmas! I was totally gobsmacked!!! Paige's hubby is going to photograph everything this weekend and then I shall take the stuff back over to her. I hope it sells!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*As a thank you to my friend for pushing me into taking my work over to the shop, I did some painting lessons with her. She has been asking for ages for me to teach her some techniques so on Saturday she came over for the day and we had a play.</div>

This is her second piece. I had her just make marks on the canvas, dribble paint and use water spray to create an abstract piece. She was over the moon with the results.</div>

* On Saturday my sister, Paige and I spent the day making wedding invites for my sisters wedding next year. We had sort of a production line going and managed to get all of them made by 4pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* On Sunday my sister invited us to spend the day with them at the beach. We went to sea grove bay which is normally quite quiet as its out of the way of the tourist path. It was packed though, with everybody arriving on their boats and wading with all their beach and BBQ stuff through the sea! I had my nephew with us as well and we had a great day swimming in the sea and making sandcastles. I even went in the sea after some clothes swapping with my sister as I had not taken a swim suit.</div>

* On Monday we finally got our hedges cut. This has been an ongoing saga for the last year with our housing association. When we had to move out last year the hedges got so huge that when we moved back we couldn't manage to cut them our selves. They came and cut one side for us and then found a wasps nest and never returned to do the other side. I kept ringing and they kept saying they were coming and never did. I started ringing them again in April and its taken till now to get something done. They cut 8 foot off the top of the hedges on Monday so now I have sunlight in my garden again. It's up to us to keep them cut now but as we can actually reach them now that won't be a problem....that's if Stu doesn't cut through the cable of the hedge trimmer again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Because we had lots of cuttings to burn, on Tuesday evening we decided to light the new fire pit I had bought a few weeks ago at Tesco (half price £12.50...bargain!). We bought marshmallows and made an evening of it. Shelby had her friend round and we invited Zoe and Alan up. Caleb kept telling the girls to be careful of the fire as they were dancing round so we made him fire marshal and made him wear a high vis jacket! It is true that the yellow jacket makes the power go to your head!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a simple but really enjoyable evening and once everyone had gone Caleb and me just sat and watched the mesmerising flames.</div>

*Great GCSE results for my nephew...well done Rhys! Great half GCSE results for Caleb as well. Caleb is in his final GCSE year this year but as they are taken in stages now he has done parts of them and got his marks..A*'s and B's for Physics, history and English. All the 'parts' get put together at the end for his overall results next year.</div>

*I managed to get some art work done this week, inspired by Flora Bowley's new book which happened to fall into my Amazon shopping basket a few weeks ago.</div>

It's a wonderful true story of how the author went searching for the existence of faeries in England, Ireland and Scotland and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I then found her <a href="http://signepike.com/" target="_blank">website</a> with all the photos she took while exploring so it was lovely to see the images I had only imagined while reading the book.</div>

It is Rocking your world Friday again...where is the time going? I am posting late again, sorry, and am linking up with our host <a href="http://celtichouse.blogspot.com/">Virginia.</a> Pop over to her blog and see what has been rocking every ones world this week. This is a chance each week to list all your positives and things you are grateful for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
* On Sunday my Mum, sister, Shelby and me went to the Isle of Wight Healing festival, held at Ventnor Botanical gardens. There were lots of things going on like Belly dancing displays and hula hooping, which Shelby loved. There were many people there promoting different healing therapies and you could have a session for a donation. We all had a tarot reading from a lady called<a href="http://ejlovely.wix.com/me#!"> Elizabeth</a> who runs the meditation group we go to. It was a very positive and uplifting reading and she was spot on about so many things. The weather was lovely so I am grateful for a lovely afternoon spent with my family, just chillin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I am grateful for having had two weeks off work. I have not had any time off since I started work for Equals 3 years ago. I was very good and didn't check my work emails at all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* I am grateful that Stu had 2 weeks off work with me so we could spend some time together. We didn't get up to much just sitting in the garden with the kids, playing poker with the kids, walking the dogs, playing Rockband, going to the beach and going bowling.</div>

* We have been making fairy costumes this week for a secret summer fairy party that we are going to. Our lovely friend Menna (the fairy lady) has been helping us. I will post pictures when they finished. We are altering dresses we already had for a handfasting a few years ago, so we are going to be more like Renascence fairy's! I am so grateful for Mennas help, she is so talented!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* On Monday, the wonderful Menna took Paige and me through the secret fairy woods at the bottom of her garden. These are privately owned and she managed to get permission to take us in. They were amazingly beautiful with such old trees. It was lovely and unspoilt as they are private. I really felt like I was in another world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Making my sisters wedding invites. They look fab and didn't take nearly as look as I thought they would. It was lovely just sitting together with everyone with a sort of production line going on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Took the kids to Firestone Copse on Friday with Paige. It was lovely wondering through the beautiful woods. Paige and Caleb decided to have a sword fight with some sticks...it was all fun until Caleb bashed Paige's knuckle in!</div>

I don't think their sticks are very evenly matched, seeing as Caleb is holding my very sturdy walking staff and Paige has a rotten branch that Caleb found on the floor for her!</div>

*I spent a whole day this week making this Shared journal for a new group I will be attending. The hope is that this sharing book will become like a book of women's wisdom with every group member contributing to it with poems, quotes, words of wisdom, art, healing remedies, homemade crafts, recipes etc. I am very excited to be going to this new group and wanted to contribute something for us to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the book out of canvas which I first stitched into the cover shape and then decorated. It has loads of pages inside and a canvas pocket to store things in.</div>
