Tea Party Time

Im late..Im late..Im late..for a very important date,

the weather is cold, its winter Im told, so layers are on the plate...

Ohh a party indeed!...

let me invite some friends xxx

thats including you too!!

BEWARE!

extreme cuteness follows! You have been warned!

We have treats made with love and filled with sugary goodness...

Sweet scented roses and fruity pink tea, from the fairies tea pot... would you like a cup quickly???...

oopps too late!!...

maybe a rainbow treat because your so sweet x

we have plenty to go around..lots of sugar to be found...

Miss Indi is pouring you and me a cup now...

chin chin my blogger friends...

enjoy your bubbling sweet tea and thankyou for stopping into our party..

Miss fairy Rosie is nibbling, some sandwiches of jam... quick you better grab one, and try it while you can!..

Ohh that doilie collection is out...its party time I hear them shout!

gobble gobble gobble, this party is going fast, the weather is setting in but Miss Mayya wants it to last

in no time at all, the weather has turned sour, the children have all run, Im left in the shower

as I make my way back home, a colourful tent I spy?? this was not here before, or I wouldnt have passed by!...

Hmmmm a closer look I need, so quietly I creep..What is in the tent??? shall we take a peep??

Peeking thru the door, I see a woman sitting there, she has some kind of animal, covering her hair...

"Come in my sweet, Ive been waiting here for you, there are messages to be told, and life lessons too"...

the room was filled with smoke, from burning plants and herbs, so much glowing glass and feathers from great birds...

by the warmth of her candles, I sat in my chair, not knowing what to say, not feeling I was there...

do I speak now??? is she waiting for me to start??? maybe just sit and watch her, with a fastly pounding heart..

I watch the smoke drift gracefully, to the roof and out the door, maybe I should run, she wont catch, I am sure??.....

thinking how I got here, what paths led me to now, this chain of events which happened, was this a dream somehow....

will she do my Tarot, I see the cards are here, Indi for indecision..P for paitence my dear....

Then she spoke...

"You brought me to your life..I go where I am needed, I heard your nightly prayers and your messages are heeded"..."now be still and try to think, lets think about your life, has it really been that bad, going thru this strife"???

"I have here some tea, its leaves will tell a tale, then you can take the action, so from now you cannot fail"...

she poured out a cup, of the strongest smelling tea, was I really going to drink it, did I trust in what I see???

sweetend up with sugar, it took a different smell, something rather earthy with a hint of rose as well..

Taking it to my lips, she watched in much delight, I shut my eyes and swallowed, it tasted sweet and light...

as she watched me finish my cup, she filtered sugar thru her fingers, a strange energy came over me, a feeling that still lingers....

Passing the cup back, she gave it a swirl, flipped it on the saucer to see what it revealed...

"Aahh I see..your life is but a mess, clear in the section of Mars of course..This tells to 'go for what you really want', this life is now all yours

"Take this heedy potion, it will reveal your hidden words, in a book upon the shelf of life, a mermaid story lurks, when you find this parchment, pour out from this vile, a river of red to paint and reveal your lifes denial"

Umm OK? whatever that means??

So I took the potion and went to go...

"Ahh but we havent discussed payment!!  Im looking for jewels you see, I love all things colourful and sparkly and silvereee"  "What is this you wear"??

Well it was my granmothers bracelet but I guess I can pass it on, one thing that I have learnt of late is that nothing lasts for long, so take my Nana's bracelet, if you really must, I have other things to remind me of her, all her crafty wears and stuff....

She bid me farewell and would be back if I called, I wasent sure what to say I was still so enthralled..

I retreated with my bottle, leaving the animal woman behind, when I looked back to where Id been, the tent I could not find???

much searching later for mermaid tales, I came across this book..

when turning to the fishy tale upon paper I did look...

I poared the potion carefully and smeared it round the page, the letters appeared swiftly, a discovery I had made...

It was a message to my heart to keep on looking ahead, though much time lately has been spent, curled up in my bed..now what to do with such wise words, how to end this tale, I have to look at where to go and set my boat a sail...

Thankyou to all who came here, to have a cup of tea, and thankyou to all who come her and see me regularly...

You got me thru a rough patch, and this party celebrates life, its nice to know we are here together, thru the good times and the strife.

I love you my bloggy friends, thankyou.

and thankyou to sweetest Miss Vanessa for making the whole world party.

Not too mad I know, but Ive had quite enough madness here lately!!

Party On!

Treats From Friends

How wonderful to be given gifts that I can use to make more gifts, for the gift that keeps on giving.

A wonderful friend was given a set of silver knife forks and spoons, so she has sent them my way

I make these sets called witchy poo forks, which hang in windows, I will hopefully have these done by next week, and then you can see...

So I need to get out my hammer and pliers and this time I will have the knives engraved...

Im loving my creative work at the moment, I love working, so keeping busy busy keeps me a bit sane, I have done relaxing to death the last few months and can sit still no more!

So this fork in my road is leading me down a huge healing path where Im learning so much about myself.  Although it has been a scarey ride, I am loving this stage for what I have been shown...

and let me show you these....

another wonderful friend brought me a whole heap of doilies at a market she held.  Doilies have become one of my favorite finds over the last few years....

Someone made these... and yes most are probably in a factory somewhere but the other ones have been carefully embroidered and laced and knotted by old and young hands, taking care to match sets, find the right colours and fabrics, follow patterns or just their own designs....

While they work they are thinking so that their thoughts are woven into every piece they do.  How amazing to be able to use Phychometry (visions of its history from holding objects)...

and they are womans stories from womans lives, just every day thoughts.  I hope they know how much I appreciate theyre work and love remaking new things with what they have created...

Our pasts all sandwiched together...speaking of pasts, I had a past life regression done last week and have spent the whole weekend trying to relax while all the energy we released left my body, not an easy task when it was all anger.  Grumpy cow alert!!  In a nut shell the life we went into was that of a boy, he was young and lived on a hill with his parents, the father ran the town below of peasants and farmers, all I ever wanted to do was go and play with the kids but was not allowed to associate with the town folk, I was taught to not trust them, and so had a very frustrating lonely childhood and was very angry at my parents.  When my father died I took over his job and ran the town very well, finally I was going to interact with the people, but it was still not to be because they were nice to my face because they had to be but bitched constantly behind my back and I knew of everyones dislike of me.  Pretty sad really and explains so much of my life.  Its nice I was regressed by my Reiki healer and she went in and found the story so it could not be over interprepted by me.  Poor woman, as soon as we were done I was so angry with her, I had no idea till Sunday what was going on because all my past stuff has been releasing as pain and sadness, anger was a whole new ball game.  But thankfully that is gone now....

I then found a book on her shelf called "Past Lives, Future Lives" by Jenny Cockell, an amazing story of understanding how reincarnation works, this is one of my favorite books now.  i loved it.  and I read a book! for the first time in 2 years, Im sure most mothers know this feeling....

And because i cant help but destroy books in the name of art, here is my new obsession... beautiful covered books with gold patterning...

and then I set to work with my knife and cut for what seems like forever, they are shrine book that will hang on your wall or just be in your book shelf, whenever you need to pray or talk or be thankfull, all you need to do is open the cover....

So far this one has only been cut, it has alot of work to be done, and that is Tara dancing around in her beautiful glowing sari...

So lots to do... I am doing my first photos for the tea party today, mine is rather weather permitting so hopefully the weeks weather holds out, how nice for you all to be doing this in spring!!!

have a wonderful week getting your parties together

much love
