Wake up I wait for your heart!

Upcycle

I love the challenge of found objects that I can upcyle into a sale.
This vintage bag had a filthy rope handle when I found it. I hung it upside down in bleach to restore it. Sold on Etsy.

My First Loves in Life

Bakelite which I was collecting as a teenager. And those wild, Czech glass pendants in gold plated filigree.

1/2015

Sitting in the sunbeam with her face raised to the light. Her love of sunlight makes me think she was kept in a box or garage. She was up to 41 pounds in this photo. She'd surrently at her correct weight of 58 pounds: The worlds smallest Golden due to being forced to breed at 6 months and never achieving her adult body size. This also happens to humans.

Dream

What woke me: Dreaming of a male doctor straddling my body with a hot iron in his left hand about to descend and 'burn the cancer out of my chest'. I'm talking about an ironing board iron. I was screaming at him that we needed to discuss the treatment when I woke.
I much preferred the amusing hummingbird dream of yesternight.
The poor hummingbird circling my head thinking sweetness was in there. No, I don't have cancer but a friend is currently in treatment.

Me: That has to be odd.
Her (looking me over): It really is.
