More Kindnesses...

Yesterday---I posted about the many little blessings that came my way through the post and internet.

Today I am continuing that gratefulness, because there is more to share!

Last week, I sent one of the Bunny Children off to live with a certain enchanted "faerie whisperer" (who also might be a "mermaid whisperer")--Kaerie Faerie! And here is the cute picture she sent me back!


If you know me, I get all warm and fuzzy inside when I see these sweet little pics of where my dolls go to, and Kaerie's little doll family looks like they are going to be good friends! I am sure they will all have fun!

THANK YOU KAERIE!!

Next, I decided to spread some kindness of my own....as an artist, you probably know we have the capacity to do things through our own creativity, so I took the plunge and made something to help fellow artist Katherine Dunn, another artist and friend. I've mentioned Katherine in the past, and actually linked to my other blog about her story---but the jist of it is this: Katherine writes spectacular stories of her art AND farm (and if you're a farmer at heart who also does art, this is a HUGE inspiration) over at her Apifera Farm blog. Truly, if you haven't read it, you are missing out! She is hosting a Pino Pie Party (named after her beloved and personable mini-donkey, Pino) and she needs you to send aprons and 8 x 8 squares of cloth with space to write on. Why? For people to write special messages to hospice workers, whom she is honoring at her pie day! AND you can embellish the outside of the cloth with your own little artwork, plus make homemade aprons to send. For more details (and probably a better explanation than I'm giving), please see the WHOLE storyat Katherine's other blog: HERE and HERE.

So Farmgirls, artists, and Farmgirl Artists--break out your stashes and swatches and get crackin'! This seems like a wonderful way to express your creativity and love!

Finally--in the states, it's Memorial Day weekend. For many, this is the "unofficial start of Summer," or an excuse for a long weekend. But the true meaning encompasses remembering all of our armed forces who make the ultimate sacrifice...both in battle and often far after the battles have ended. Please say a prayer for these brave and proud men and women who have given so much of themselves.

Have a blessed weekend, Friends!
