i believe in angels...(she's nutty as a fruitcake that Tif)

for all those 'just like me' crafters out there who needed to know, here is the book that i showed you the skirt from yesterday...talking of 'said' skirt, i ventured out in mine this afternoon to mail some parcels and to buy cookies for the four hungry children.

(i'm not even going to mention the fact that the mirror in our #1's room needs a desperate clean, plus that it took me thirty one attempts to get this shot!)

i like to think they were admiring glances that i noticed, but really they were "what on earth is she wearing" looks. so dear readers, the old cogs in my brain have started to turn...do you think the world is ready for rescued thrift store skirts to be turned into 'dottie angel apron skirts', just watch this space!!

and on to Thing Number 5 ~ ANGELS, yep you guessed it, i do believe in angels...now hear me out first before you label me "nutty as a fruitcake".

angels fall into three categories, you have your Domestic, Guardian and In Disguise...

Domestic : just like you and me, trying to do the best we can in a sometimes bad and often sad world, just doing our little thing, caring for our families, caring for the planet, in the hope that we can make it a better place...(i know it's a bit soppy but there you go)

Guardian : they are all around us, you just can't see them. i know this to be true because we had one that cared for our #4 in the first weeks of his life...he even has 'Angel' as his middle name, lest we forget how fortunate we are...

In Disguise : then you have angels like Tasha , who by day works in a cubicle in the bank but at night crafts away burning the midnight oil, this angel hauled twenty eight slips for me on mother's day. out of the kindness of her heart she has added to my 'chinese laundry look' that is over taking the house. some are now green and brown, some a wonderful 'granny knickers' color and others are awaiting their turn...

so you see i am not a complete nutter, just half way...

and just before i go, i must just tell you about the lovely Kim, who featured me on 'todayscreativeblog' a few days back...of course i was delighted, but it also made me laugh, a) because people actually think that i know what i am doing with this blogging lark!! b) because i have a daily fight with flickr and my grainy photos and c) because i still don't know how sometimes i get a double space between my lines when posting, (just take a look at todays effort) it drives me insane, but i am now going with it being 'an endearing feature' of my blog...so thanks Kim for feeling that my blog was worthy of a mention!

so it just leaves me to tell you that tomorrow will not be a gray day..."why's that Tif " i hear you cry...well dear readers, first it's 'Show and Tell' ("horah", you say) and secondly, i'm getting my hair colored!! ("at last" you all yell) ~ Tif
