June's Jumpin with Activity

Are you ready for June? Wow, it's starting off with a blast, the New moon and a Partial Solar Eclipse on the 1st. Then the Full Moon brings a Lunar Ecl1pse which will occur on the 15th. About the time things start to settle down it will be the Summer Solstice is on the 21st. Oh and definitely don't forget Father's Day the third Sunday of the month. Saturn goes direct by the 3rd week which will help us along with decision making and catching up on things we've allowed to lag. Watch out for some storms as the eclipse will turn the tides and bring in the winds. Many things could change very suddenly if your not paying attention.
Join me in keeping those in the south, from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, in your prayers daily. Michigan and Illinois as well could use some prayers. Our planet is attempting to heal and could use all the help she can get from us (and maybe from the little folk as well). Enjoy the month and think good thoughts. . .because thought become things. . .

May Storms in the Midwest

There was a terrific storm front that blasted it's way through SE Wisconsin last night.  As I watched the storm clouds move in at work I went outside to take a closer look at the situation. Winds at approximately 70 to 80mph nearly lifted me right off my feet so I scurried to get closer to the building while I watched it go from just windy to total darkness. The lightning lit up the skies like the forth of July but there was an eerie message being carried on this wind and I can tell you that it was not a friendly greeting at all.
Burlington, WI and much of SE WI saw tornadoes and the end result was what is left of my barn today. Another storm like that one, will take out what is left of it as the  north east corner of the foundation is giving way and the rear side of the barn has a huge buckle in the barn boards, which shows the stress it is under, while it tries to hold onto what is left of the roof.
There was much activity in the universe yesterday, Iceland's volcano erupted again which was the last newscast I saw before the storm rolled in.
Our planet is going through a series of healing tremors and I don't believe we have seen the last of this transformation. I will send healing energy and love to all those effected by this storm, I ask you to please join me and meditate for a few minuets everyday, to help heal our beautiful planet. Together we can do this. . . TY
with love and light

Graduation

May 20, 2011,

My Granddaughter graduated high school on Friday. Jayce is the oldest of my three children and a most wonderfully talented artist. The years move so quickly and as time has been rushing past, she has become all grown up. Oh, how they spring up like flowers in the garden and time certainly does not stand still so that we may enjoy them a little longer. Such a sweet sorrow, it is.
I am so proud of her and her parents as well. They have spent their time schooling and teaching their children along the way. So now life will take her on her own journey forward into the unknown. And as the years unfold I'm sure there will be many more gifts brought into her life, as it has for all of us. Rejoice my sweet and welcome to the fantasy of a lifetime. . .

So Many Idea's, So Little Time, Meet Debealia Bunne'

May's full "Pink" moon is heading in on the 17th of the month and my head is just swirling with idea's of little creatures each bearing it's own name. Oh the little one's.  As they begin to come into my reality, they are manifest into form as if they just walked through the front door. The show's will begin soon so we need to keep creating and stock piling until it's tyme to take them to market, to be adopted. These are the treasures that fill my dreams and nonworking hours. And as they fill the shelves of the loft for a time I enjoy their presence while it lasts. I truly love my life and the gifts I have been blessed with. Joy abounds more and more every day as I prepare for my favorite seasons of craft and whimsy. It's an ode to spirit as I sew away the hours and bring joy and laughter into someone else's world.
Stay tuned for a preview of the next edition of the Wonders at Oakridge Primitives, where hand and spirit come together. . .

May, May Beautiful May

I love May. Still cool, not too much rain and the days are starting to get noticeably longer. As the landscape turns lush and green everything starts moving including the visits from the crows, which to me are a sign of abundance. The little ones start to surface and creatures play and dance in the sunshine. It's truly a sight. The moon and stars are wonderful as the skies are clear at night.  Wisconsin is a wonderful place.
The flee markets and outside festivities have started and my wanting to craft fills my soul with such joy. Starting to see many garage sale signs going up already and by time Memorial Day rolls around the streets will be alive with treasure seekers. Oh what fun to find treasures in someones junk. "One man's junk is truly another man's treasure". Starting with May Day all the through this month is such an adventure. And into the delight of the summer months. Many of my friends sell at flee markets and county fairs. As for me, I'll work my job and prepare for the Halloween and fall festivals as that's where my heart is most of the time. But I do take the time to visit places for treasures to use in my art work. An occasional old potato masher or candle stick is always welcome along with some old wooden boxes or rusty metal piece. You just never know what you'll find out there.
Anyway, enjoy the month and the holiday. . .be safe and have fun

Days Pass So Quickly

Hard to believe how fast time moves forward. The days turn into months and years pass so fast, before you know it the kids are grown and the grandchildren are teenagers. I could have great grand children any time now,  that's reality and could happen at any time.

 I am most grateful. . . my life has been blessed with wonderful people in my life both friends and a terrific family.  Each and everyone bringing a new texture to life's tightly woven cloth. . .

Then there's my art work which takes on a whole different world than the one I live in most of the time. It fills me with a child like wonder, which is where I love to be. Creating the next little one is what I truly get excited about as they seem to come out of no where. A piece of muslin starts to take shape and walla, a little one is born from my imagination into my perception of real life.

Fall time with the pumpkins and witch hats, oh what fun and it will be here before you know it. . . so I'd better get busy. . .

Winds of Change

With the incumbent weather we have been experiencing of late I know that I am not the only one who feels that the winds of change are blowing as well.
My room mate moved out last week and I find myself joyfully alone. It'll be interesting to see  how things pan out. I love the place where I dwell and hope that I may be able to generate enough extra income to stay here. My artwork has taken on a new and different look as well. The images that float through my head are very, let's say, out of sort for my usual work.
That's not all of the change that's going on though. It appears that the planetary aspects are in alignment to bring about much more change. Obama spoke of change all during his election process but few of us understood his message. Most of the changes in government have not been what we, as the American people expected because it hasn't been for the betterment of us as a whole. And all the troubles around the globe has left us with a giant compassion vortex that has opened where there doesn't appear to be an end to all the grief in the near future. But what this vortex has done is bring our love for others to the surface and that is where we need to focus ourselves. In the love for others as well as ourselves. Outside our families and extend that love across the entire universe allowing all to heal and to bask in it's glory. This is true unconditional love as it is meant to be and when we reach out and share our love for others we are in unity with God's purpose for our lives and existence.
Many more changes will come to pass and as we sit and dream to manifest our future, remember to include those who really need our love, prayers and energies of healing.
