to my bestie

Friendship bracelet for my bestie i.i.s "My best friends are the people with whom I feel safe to talk about mad, sad and hurt feelings. Most other relationships stay at the feeling levels where everything is 'fine,' although we all know that's not true. But my best friends never shy away from those times when we feel the neediest—when our feelings have been hurt, when we are so angry we could spit fire, when we are grieving and depressed, when we feel unacceptable. Over and over, those are the times that have made us feel more bonded." — The Rev. Ed Bacon

...they come through you but not from you...

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. Kahlil Gibran

Thing A Day

This year i have joined "Thing-a-day". Thing-a-day is a yearly creative sprint where participants commit to creating one new thing a day and post it on a collective blog. You can post anything in any media but remember this is an exercice in creativity, it's about the process of making stuff, not making finished impossible stuff. Your main challenge is to stick to it for all 28 days of February! Pick a theme for the month or for the week, spend around 20 minutes a day on your piece and send it out!   thing-a-day.com I decided to choose the theme flowers :) and I've made another blog  suddenbreeze.posterous.com to post all my creations. Since we love the idea so much, a couple of friends and I made our own little collective blog called  arisan.posterous.com where we divide the days of the week and share our creations with each other :) I am hoping we continue it throughout the years! Happy Crafting! :)
