Ukulele Book!

Ukulele Book by Peter and Donna Thomas. Inside the cigar box is a diorama which tells a story about the historical allure of Hawaii as an archetype of tropical paradise. How fun is that?

Christmas Music and Etsy Kits

Dscn4727_1_1

Wednesday evening pulled us a little more into the Christmas spirit with my daughters flute concert... Its been a challange to feel the 'spirit' this week, and we continue to struggle, me especially... Yesterday the lights went up on the tree, and a few gifts were wrapped. Today we hope to do a little baking and quiet yule-time reading. I have re-stocked my kits in my Etsy Shop (sorry for the delay). I have lots of things to post for you, and will try to add a few more later today! Blessings...

Kathleen of Liquid Sky Arts organized a CD swap that I am participating in. Who would have guessed that mixing ones own CD could be so addictive! (Only one disc, I made two designs - couldn't decide so I used both!) I have already started another, tentatively called 'Sirens of Summer'. The French title gives you a hint of what I filled this one with... Birds indeed!
(Jill, Yvonne and Cori K. are my other 'swap buddies'. They go out UPS today girls - hope you enjoy it!)

A musical dream come true.

I have wished for a folk harp for years, and now my dream has come true. My dear husband found this beautiful 'Wood Nymph' in Oregon for me. Now I just need to learn how to play it...
