Nobody wants to go outside. The rain that fell over the last week or so is now evaporating and the humidity is at suffocation level. A good excuse to stay inside and redecorate my blog.
And make more quick craft projects. This is very good for my soul.
This doll head (bought on etsy) is old and broken, found at the site of a doll factory in Germany. It’s remarkably satisfying to take something imperfect and discarded and give it another life. I’ve been reading Spirit Cloth for months now and Jude has been reminding me of the importance of old and worn things; of the need to value their imperfections and honour them.

By the way, if you click on my photos, they will take you to my flickr pages and you can see more photos! There is a flickr widget available for sidebars but I can’t figure out how to get the &$$*%&^(*#$$@ thing to work.
Ooh, that reminds me of a good joke.
How do you get a sweet 80 year old lady to say “FUCK!” ?

blog looks good. your feed has gone spazzy on my bloglines though, you are listed as http://twolimeleaves etc instead of just as Two lime leaves. Doesn’t matter, link still works. just saying.

Love the new look, and that doll is amazing.
And don’t you just hate it when something that worked before you fiddled around with your blog stuff now won’t work … this very thing happened to me last week and I had to get my host in to fix it, I felt like a complete twit.

YUMMERS!
I am fascinated with your snowflakes from the previous post. They are beautiful!!! I often get motivated to create for Christmas… after Christmas! This year I’m wrapped up in Valentine’s Day projects for my series on my blog.
Hugs,

I actually guffawed at that. Loud enough to disturb my daughter’s sleep 2 rooms away heh.
Doll is indeed gorgeous.

I love the new look of your blog. Mine is in dire need of an update too.
Hysterically funny joke. Everyone’s still sleeping and I had to put my hand over my mouth not to laugh too loudly.

I hope I am still swearing when I am 80… if I live so long.
Nice doll. Love the really old ones.

My grandma plays bingo. With intensity. She doesn’t take losing well. But so far, hasn’t blurted that out. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if she tripped the winner.
Love the header. Are your books organized by COLOR? That’s intense.

I too can’t figure out how to add that darn Flickr widget
and loved the joke.
I just finished reading Everyday Sacred by Sue Bender and in it she talks a lot about how the Japanese culture cherises their cracked and broken bowls and tea cups.

What a great story that is about the doll head. It must really be quite old, then.

Nice Blog remake. Since your base is wordpress and mine too, maybe this will help?

I’m just glad I didn’t have a mouthful of Dr Pepper when reading that joke…because it would have been all over the monitor!!! ROFL!!!!!
The doll is beautiful!

hehe, re Meggies comment…. I don’t want to live to 80, so I’m making up for lost time now!!
I also love the feeling of rescusitating abandoned stuff that others think of as junk. Often use them when renovating houses or designing furniture.
