Song of my heart

*

dip into

your own soul.

find your own truth.

what calls to your heart ?

what moves your spirit ?

make your life dance

to the song of your own essence .

*

I guess I am a process person

and I like to try to find words for the process

called ...... writing .

I spend a lot of time thinking and searching 

I spend a lot of time re-living the past 

For a good purpose ....

 To learn and understand 

and go on .

That is a good thing , for me .

I learn a lot , 

about myself 

about how I survived

about the choices I made 

(Had to make )

and I am doing this 

ordening my house, my things

re-reading my notebooks , letters , postcards 

and notes .

Just thinking is not my thing

I have to be creative with my hands   

and than there is ordening in my head .

A while ago I saw a heart-garland 

on pinterest.

and I started by making one myself .

Being creative and using

beautiful materials and bright colors

always makes me happy 

And than I made another-one and 

anotherone and I started to hang them 

in my house .

I used golden yarn and very little 

glass beads because 

I am fascinated by the moving and the glittering 

of the garlands .

making things always makes me happy

and I always get inspired and find new ideas.

other ways , other things to use ......

I am not a shopping-girl and 

I always look in my own house 

because there is more than enough here.

so 

when the little beads were used,

I used beads from bracelets and chains .

and I started to use little cuttings of 

the beautiful colorful felt pieces that were

leftovers after cutting the hearts .

and so I devaloped my own unique 

heartgarlands .

it's always about 

being busy , making things.......

that make ME happy .

You can imagen that there comes a point 

when there are too many garlands ......

and than I decided to send them by mail

to friends ......

just a little thank-you for being my friend .

they are easy to send by mail .

if , by the way , you are reading this,

and you like to have one 

let me know !

and than I got a present from a friend

who lives in France ......

glimmeringglitteringthings

I started to use in my garlands too !

and than my daugther ,

who always brings me the wonderful , colorful felt 

asked if she could try to sell the garlands

she likes to be creative too

in her own time

( She works at Waldorfschools

with dyslexic children )

once a year they have fairs at Waldorf schools

and she has her own stall !

she bought a larger size of

matchboxes when she was in France

(we do not have those in Holland )

and we now use the empty boxes for

the heartgarlands .

of course after giving the boxes a make-over .

and 

people realy buy them !

for themselves

or as presents .....

When my granddaugther

is with me 

she loves to help

and play 

With all my hearts

I wish you all well
