I've just received the saddest news. Martin's mother has passed away and is now a new star in the firmament above us. She's watching over you Martin, I'm sure... This is a moment of peace and inner solitude. Death is the only thing that can give us that. We must be respectful in times like these. But I so believe in rebirth, afterlife, maybe not in our current human form, but in a new way, a way we can't even imagine now. Because we know only a small part of the marvelous and exciting scary experience we call living.. Even at the center of fire, there is cold, and the coldest ice can burn you. Now, that's my theory and if you don't want to know, kindly step aside and make a way for those who want to go.
I've finished a new doll, but there's more to come.. The rest of them are away to get cotton filled. This one is called Scissor Sis. She likes to hang around, eat vanilla glazed cupcakes and watch the new fashion shows on Fashion TV. She's a real hedonist bohemian.

I also just registered at the cool-creative site CraftStylish featuring a wonderful new tutorial from Diane Gilleland on embroidered cards.. Simply be-you-tea-full!
The necklace for Martin VanMassenhove is almost finished, the pearls are fantastic! But I'll introduce you to them next time..

Just had the loveliest Whiskey Extravaganza Singles Night, with Maxine, Jonna, Bere, Gaetan, Marcsje and Martin. There was only one cocktail, a Manhattan, but without the dry Vermouth, instead I used Martini and a zest of lemon, and ice. Very strong indeedy! But so much fun. Talkie-talkie until the morning. And now of to bed, but not without my favorite song of today!
And remember;In order to see the rainbow, you'll have to deal with the clouds.
I was rediscovering my Memory Lane this evening and I bumped on this video I made some time ago. The lovely thing about it is that the music from Polly Paulusma I used in this little video is simply wonderful. And it so happens, by my utterly honest surprise, that Polly herself put this video on her favorite list on YouTube. Well, that makes me smile! I hope you enjoy this little tutorial 'The Seasons of a Tree'- a felt application.

I loved Bette Davis in Dark Victory, it's one of my all time favorite movies. I still cry at the last scene where she slowly looses her eyesight and prepares her death with so much grace and truth. Sometimes the truth is hidden in between the lies people imagine, create and live by. There's always a secret blessing blossoming from each situation.
And here she is playing Margret in The Star, I guess rumors are of all time.. and are in way a compliment to the one it is projected to. Some will always stay in the shadow of another, and some will be the shadow of the other. All is fair, just as long as they don't stand in the light that casts the shadow. I can imagine such would be quite irritating.

Tonight when I got home from work I've found this strange little email in my inbox;
Digibudi, digibudi, on the prawl did you really fuck them all? if i steal your daddy soft do i get a greater loft?
It's from a person who calls him or herself 'digilover'. Is that freaky or what?! Do I have not only a secret admirer, but also an obsessed stalker? Am I thus finally acknowledged as a blogger?
