A special present for me, from a special friend.........

Here is a gorgeous old chap, that was made especially for me by my very dear friend over at Bramble Magic bears, you can find her on etsy, facebook and in my blog list below. I am sure she would happily make more hares to order !

I will treasure him for always .................

A thoughtful pose...........

He sits and scratches, feeling the warmth of the sunshine upon his furry body.....

 He thinks about what it must be like to have freckles...........

He thinks some more   .....................

and then in a flash he is gone.

Time for Reflection........

Ok its that time of the year again, spring cleaning of mind, body and spirit.
I have taken a week out just recently , to take stock and plan and fine tune my year ahead.
My website is nearly complete, etsy nearly how I want it, I plan to re-arrange my blogg a little, and get my life and work back on track.
Its easy for us to over do it on many levels and to drown ourselves with worries that are beyond our control, as are other peoples perceptions of how things should be. We have to be true to our selves , and take time out to heal and be strong again.
Time to face our demons and turn them into angels.......

The March Winner is.........

And the winner of my march give a way, is the lovely Jenni Long, (your little kitty will be whizzing its way to you soon )
Keep your eyes peeled for the April giveaway, ......................  :)
