Ponder this....

OK! OK! I jump around to all sorts of topics...cats, selling, giveaways, you name it. My mind doesn't stick one one thing, it wonders around. Most of the time half lost in another world.

Let me ponder this.... Books and TV seen by the general public!
JK Rowling / Harry Potter.. Charmed, OZ, and many more...
Oh! A good read! But are witches really like this? NO!
I am finding myself taking offence to books and movies that do this to us Pagans. The truth never comes out about us. Have you ever wondered why we are treated like demons, like scum, like trash.... TV and books.
No, we don't fly on brooms. No, we are not evil. No, I did not go to Hogwarts!
Perhaps a "Christian" has approached you in public with some crazy question about devil-worshippers and the like. I have found there is no good answer...they will continue to beleive their way...and that's OK.
At some point you are asked....If you don't worship the Devil, who do you worship? Hmmm very good question but here is where the trouble begins.
So many religions have strict...this is how you beleive rules. We don't.
We have a Rede..."And it harms none, do what thou will". Sort of like "thy shall not...."
Where do you go to Church? You are standing in my church... it is all around you!

But at times I may do harm....naughty me! Threaten a loved one ... and I may get mean! But I always remember the rule of three.....

Now you wonder why Pagans stay in the Broom Closet.
Know that your own inner spirit will help to guide you in your life journey.

Now did my mind jump around too much?

My online and Blog friends all brighten my day!

Let's see I am to write something about my blog and what it has achieved. Having to think about this.....

First I began to blog to help promote my art but it has become something different...

It has become a place where I have met and hopefully continue to meet many wonderful bloggers (and artists!). A place where I may drop a line on a thought. A place where I may voice an opinion without too much judgement. But most of all a place where people with many hopes and dreams can come together to discover and explore.

Thanks for being my friend!

Painting! I'm painting!

What a beautiful day out....until I went outside! Brr cold, is winter trying to return!!??!!
Over the weekend we got a ton of yard work done....we keep trying to make yard work time simpler by redoing things for less labor intense future. Getting there slowly....ever so slowly!
But the last few days I have been making time to get the paints out! I have found the more I do this the more I feel like painting. I guess it's just getting into it that takes the time. And there's always 'something' else that needs done that creating is set to the side until it gets so far back that it's hard to get back to. And I have come down with a giant case of the dreaded "humm-drumms" Oh hummmm.
This morning I have reworked afew Halloween items, added a splash here and there. By splash I mean splatter of paint to some items. It was told to me that maybe some of my art is 'too clean'....I donno'. But I guess I can always give it a try.
I need to get my act together and get things listed and some cash flow going...... doesn't everyone! My cat family has grown and I need to visit the vet soon to be a responsable pet owner.... I just knew I should had gone to school to be a vet!
Lynda

.... and More!

Here's my ...and more part of Haunted Swamp...as promised! Green Faerie Enchantment Necklace! I just listed it on EBay!
These little clusters of beads are Faerie Enchantments!
Think Spring as you wear this beautiful necklace! Made with a gold tone chain and beautiful glass beads. Each glass bead is wire wrapped by hand. Made with a variety of bicone, seed beads, pressed and lampwork glass beads. The clasp is a small but very strong magnetic clasp. It is 17" in length, can be shortened or lengthened upon request.
Please wish me luck!

Cats! Kittens! Catzzzzzz!

Wellllll.... More kitty news... I heard some wailing last night while watching TV...kitty cat cries.
I went to my back door and looked out, then looked down. There in the cold night, right in front of the door laid a newborn kitten, cold and crying! I want out to figure out what was going on! There in my cat house made from a rubbermaid tub was a very small cat giving birth to kittens! OH NO!!! No more cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went out this morning and clean out the cathouse, adding new clean bedding. 4 kittens and mama.....anyone want a kitten?
