December 25th 2015 Full Moon in Cancer

December 25th 2015 Christmas Full Moon in Cancer and it's happening at 11:11am.
This is the first full moon on Christmas Day for 38 years, the last one was in 1977
As I sit here and chow away at my spoon full of peanut butter dipped into granola, my mind is just racing as I think back to 1977. WOW! What a time that was. My son just started kindergarten in Sept and I was starting a new job in Mt. Prospect, so we had to move as it was too far to travel back and forth to Dundee, since I had no one to care for him after school except our German shepherd, Joe.
I was working as a Rental Consultant for an Apartment complex so an apartment was part of my salary. Moving was a given with this type of job, so onward we went but not for long, I hated living at the end of Ohare Field. The planes looked like they would fly into my front picture window, the power lines hummed outside my back door and the traffic was unreal. This was no place to raise a child that's for sure.
How things just start to flood your mind as you drift back in time. Funny how things are so much more clear to you now, all the learning experiences of the past and how well we maneuver along through our lives. It is amazing how the planetary influences effect our lives, things we don't even notice on a daily basis and how our lives run this parallel course through time, where we keep going in the same circle, learning the lessons over and over until we finally master them, then we can move on to something new. I know this is all about Mercury, Pluto and Uranus which always takes us back to take a look at the life lessons  we have past through before we transmute into new dimensional aspects. 
Have fun celebrating the Winter Solstice tomorrow and enjoy the Full Cancer Moon on Christmas Day

Many blessings to you this Winter Holiday Season. . .

Primitive Folk Artist-Penny Crane-Brings Winter Blessings to ETSY & Ebay
Yep, I've been creating up a storm over here and the characters are just flying off the sewing machine

♥This Santa guy is dressed in a piece of an old Bemis Feed Sack that is made from Hemp. They are pretty cool and on EBay and Etsy right now for sale, so check them out, he's called a Cupboard Tuck doll in the world of Primitives and the other Santa is a make-do, he is built on a vintage textile beehive bobbin♥
 Ebay is under seller Oakridgeprims, here's a link to access this listing then you can click on See Sellers other items to get to the rest of them http://www.ebay.com/itm/172008526719?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
 and etsy can be accessed in the side margin of this blog, My  ETSY Store is www.etsy.com/shop/cranesnest


♥The two little snowmen are constructed on an old
rusty bed spring as a foundation and they are dressed in flannel robes with dirty felt hats. (cinnamon sprinkled is called grungy) It's a fun place to dwell in the Primitive World as you get to play with these little guys before someone takes them home. I love doing this, it just doesn't pay like it used to as people would rather buy junk made in China from Walmart or Target than to support a local Artist. So sad. I'm an OOAK Primitive Artist which stands for "One of A Kind" which means I create each and everyone of these from scratch without the use of a pattern so everyone of them are different with their very own little personality and even if I am making lets say 6 pair of Elf Shoes, they will all be different as well because you just can not duplicate something exactly, not ever

I'm going out tomorrow to try again to find a job even if it is only part time as I haven't figured out how to pay the rent and not work outside my home. In the mean time, I'll just keep talking to God and sewing until something better comes along . . . ♥

Till next time, many blessings this winter holiday season
