thanks to Mo.........http://www.janetboyer.com/Druid_Animal_Oracle.html

there is no other way than the own way ( Spinoza

it sounds simple but it takes lots of effort to walk the way while you know you don't have influence

that you walk only for yourself, not thinking....do they like me...etc

it is not simple

10 years since Noud died and Blaf was born

a year after Noud died we, the people who loved him, made this cloth.

I like it very much because there are so many elements showing the relations to each other

on the day Noud died, Blaf was born

the picture here was at my former sudio...we were felting she was demolishing

thank you all our friends helping us where possible,

Excuse me.............

Lots of pictures but......

I'm so tired

Sososo very tired 

There is so much fun to do but

Even stopping by at my favorit blogs is too much

Sorry

Luckely they found a cause, i had a stomach bleeding, so not enough iron in my blood. I got it in a infusion and soon  i will be present again

Yes

What is the plan this year?

We are going to have lots of fun with the doezen

But what will be my focus this year

What do I really want?

We'll see

Keep your animals safe.......

Thanks to the makers of the illustrations 

Surprises of 2016... Soon to be seen

 

      

                             

                            

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perchez in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all

Emily Dickinson

Solstice....the light comes back

Actually mankind wants the same

Love and respect

Please look at the things that are the same

Not to the differences

Help each other

Please....?

Het licht komt weer terug, of wordt geboren.

Het wordt me steeds duidelijker hoe we als " mensheid " toch allemaal hetzelfde willen.

Liefde erkenning respekt warmte

Maar hoe we elkaar de ruimte moeten geven???

Alsjeblieft respecteer elkaars gewoontes

Kijk naar wat verbind

Niet naar wat anders is.....

Alsjeblieft........

Guilty conscience

We make faults ,do the wrong things but that's how we reach the goodness.

Miracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary what we know about nature

Wonderen zijn niet in tegenspraak met de natuur. Ze zijn slechts in tegenspraak met wat we over de natuur weten.(Augustinus)

I love this!

But it came as a surprise while working with leaves and cloth.

Storm

Here is it's going to storm so hold each other firm

These fibers hold each other so strong  they became felt

 

                                                                    

To me this cloth looks a bit like a tree.......

Now

Peace is the end of ego

In the name of god

Woof walking on golden carpet.....how happy can you be...

All souls

It was your time but I still miss you so much

wishes coming through........Wendy Golden-Levitt

years ago when i discoverd felting

i instantly felt it was my tool to heal

while working at my big cloths i became in a different  state of mind and time

all my feelings of depression suddenly were in another world

i could work for hours forgetting everything around me

so it healed me

the finished cloths were often bought by people who recognised themselves in it

not long after the death of my husband , who needed care which i could give him fortunattely being a former nurse and with help from friends

in 2006 i  got an accident and treatment after treatment, operations, revalidation. i found myself here, now not  being able to felt  any more. not being able to sit more than half an hour before the pain got too severe

But i discovered blogging and through my beloved Jude Hill from http://spiritcloth.typepad.com  i "met" Wendy. ( again via Jude you find the links to articles Wendy wrote in Handeye magazinze and others)

Wendy Golden Levitt iis a   Jungian oriented Therapist  who works with traumatised children and she uses cloth as a medium to heal the children

wow

one of my last big pieces of felt wanted to travel to a brave brave girl.....

Wendy told me the girl feels the energy of my life and it helps her looking at her own pain and realized she is note alone in it

and you know what...brave..brave girl.....

you gave me back the strenght to felt again......little pieces that i can manage while i rest to unstress my back, my wish of healing through felt is coming back......

thank you Jude, thank you Wendy, thank you brave brave lovely beautiful giving girl!

time to focus I hope

 let fall bring me my focus back please

one project to work on

the others in the bag

leaves fall so sun shines bettter through the branches

     

Tovke for luck  

little bubblies are early fallen acorns

tovkes are little talismans for luck....

I like when you smile, but i love it when i'm the reason

Chiffon, merino, wenslydale, silk waste.

The yellow color is from goldenrod.

Want to be your funny face

Een miskoop, de zitzak. Not my best bargain

Maarrrrr Felix, aka daddy longlegsde, de eerste geadopteerde galgo, in onze familie ( door aanhoudende liefde voor Felix van mijn schoonzusje en een aarzelende broer )

Een goede verstaander begrijpt nu de rolverdeling in het gezin...

Felix dus vindt het een absoluut geen miskoop maar een zeer gewaardeerd zonnebed!

Felix is addicted by the softness of the sunbed.

Blaf houdt het zeer eigenwijs op de bestuurdersstoel!

Dit zijn toch laugh suckers instead of tear suckers

If i feel worthless, people say that the best you can do for the people around you is to show my sunny face and simple jokes mean something for the world.

One sweet dog  picture sent by my my sweet friend to make me feel as happy as possible, to and this post

The dogs and their tree friends

If one thing helps you when you're very depressed is walking early in nature and my girls earned it so much

So no morphine

Get in the car and drive to the treefriends we are worried about after the storm

The itchy tree is ok

The tree that make me always think at Jude's stray cats is ok

But the Martine tree (last year) is down..can you see blaf left next to the tree?

 Immense

We were forbidden to go into the bush but would't it be nice for the dogs to play and make holes....

Immense

Tjaaa....

We are so tiny 

But walking in the wood there was noice of helicopters so ....

A woman was missing in the water in zandvoort and the people on the beach spontane made a human life line

( thanks for the unknownphotographer )

We have forces too!
