Dotty Angel & WOYWW 126

A huge Hippy Birthday to my elder daughter who is 41.... she took her time coming into this world and hung out until All Saints Day so I made her an angel instead of a card. Sadly, this week her gorgeous cat died and when my angel arrived in the post, my 4 year old grandee named her Dotty, the name of the cat. Aaaah! 

WOYWW 

My table looks so sad as it is cleared and bare down to all the old paint from when my DD1 used it 20 years ago as an art student. No! I'm not going to scrub and clean it but it has been cleared ready for a metal top to be fitted by my lovely neighbour, who has a sheet metal business. I want to make more jewellery and the metal top will be an ideal surface for that and all my other crafts. 

The little house is a thimble display box which I acquired for £1 in a charity shop and it might just get altered one day!

I've had a busy day making so many things..... these guest or kitchen towel hangers that my younger DD asked me to make....

Close up ... for Wipso and Twiglet ... might be useful for you two to make.

Just finished a hat for my grandee who will be visiting from Germany next week! So excited they're coming!! Nice warm earflaps for Winter.

I made three HangAbouts

 I tried out a new style one with a round top and a flat seamed bottom which is so much quicker to make than setting in a round base but I must make it a bit deeper next time. Another close up pic for Wipso and Twiglet.... good idea ? 

Lots more faces moulded from paper clay to make quirky angels.

Sandy Denny wrote one of my favourite songs in 1967, just one year after DH and I married and it was sung by, amongst others, Judy Collins, Eva Cassidy (who changed the words somewhat), and Fairport Convention. It was voted the most favourite folk track of all time. Very poignant words and so many songs ask the same question......

Across the evening sky all the birds are leaving

But how can they know it's time for them to go?

Before the Winter fire, I will still be dreaming

I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?

Who knows where the time goes?

(For the rest of the words and to listen to Sandy singing there are lots of versions on YouTube)

Well I know!!! WOYWW sucked the time into the ether and brought us to another episode of Julia's saga which has rolled into 126 episodes, so for the full story... visit Julia's Stamping Ground.

However I've made up for lost time with all I've managed to produce today and my knitting was completed in what would have been waste time... as a car passenger or TV watching, so I'm satisfied with myself and today I feel good and that's not bad.
