happy to you

the swirl of the snow has stopped

but he dark brown limbs of my tree has ledges of thick white

inside i listen to the carols play

upstairs two girls play
spys?
intrigue?
mystery?

long hair and limbs and rosy cheeks
almost lunch

tip tap type

new year coming
hanukah candles glowing

sitting meditation today
mixed with little yoga wake up body stuff

doodling on the computer
words and pictures
dipping in

luxury of nothing pressing
time stretched out like flora, the cat, on the bed
in the hottest of weather

so much possiblility
breathe in
breathe out

energy intensity
quiet
time

merry making
shedding needles of our tree

sincere wishes
good thoughts

and mostly
love

happy holidays to you

happy
to
you


as i drift onto the next...

Violetta

Violetta, originally uploaded by Kim's Suitcase.

Violetta went to the home of a little girl that does the ballet and loves dolls. I am sure they will be the best of friends.

Violetta is made of recycled fabrics. She started off as a human but her bunny nature came out very strong, she has a tulle skirt of turquoise and a cashmere sweater vest, her arms are apron fabric and her legs are reclaimed vintage, which i guess is from the 1950's.
Her ears are wooly and her head is made using a recycled blanket.

I love her and she was hard to part with, but I am certain she found the right family.

Ahh

Hello. I have returned from the odyssey called The One of a Kind Show, featuring over 800 vendors.

Yep it was big,
and long.

I am very happy to report that my work was received very well, smiling faces and kind words abounded.
I sold some stuff too, which was very nice. Thank you to all those that visited my booth and all those that bought stuff.

Much thanks goes out to my wonderful sister, who was my roady, my delightful husband who temporarily became a single parent,my awesome daughter who took my absense in stride ,my dog who held his bladder a little longer, my cat who knew everything would be alright, my fish who possibly didn't notice, but didn't complain, my mother who had very noble intentions and lox and cream cheese bagels, my friends Sandy and Rhonda who helped me and allowed me to clear my head by stepping away. Kate who cheered me. Krissy who listened, encouraged and drove my tired bones home each night and thank you to,
All the supportive and encouraging and good intentions of the many people too numerous to list, and even to that nice man who was so nice, and i was so tirered that I cried.

I did stretch, honest I think I must be at least a half inch taller, if not on the outside, on the inside.

Thank You All!

Love,
Kim
