Sarah McLachlan - Full of Grace  Link to YouTube

Today I've been listening to Sarah McLachlan, and I just can't get enough of her sensational voice and music.  Some of her lyrics can be sad but breathtakingly beautiful at the same time. 
I particularly like this video because it displays the lyrics which paints a beautiful picture of the story behind the song.  
To whomever is reading this blog I hope you're having a good day and you can take 5 minutes to listen to Sarah.  
Click on the pink link above, pause the video if it's running slow on your computer and get yourself a cuppa.  When you come back, press play and watch the video in its fullness taking a moment just for you. 
BTW, I can't do any of my crafty stuff without music in the background, it's my inspiration.  My current gorgeous selection is getting a bit tired.  I stumbled across Sarah's music by chance, I was not looking for new music inspiration but "since she found me" I purchased a couple of her albums. I can hardly wait to see what interesting crafts I will produce over the coming weeks.
Currently at this present moment, I'm listening to her album "Laws of Illusion".
If you already know about her, I'd love to hear some of  your song recommendations for Sarah McLachlan.
Does music inspire you creatively, like it does me?

Spring has sprung in Winter in Australia

I was out walking, as usual, with camera in pocket and two dogs; not in my pocket but on their leads.  I came across my first Wattle Tree in bloom along my walking route.  

The sun was shining and it was a perfect Winters' day, crisp, clear and beautiful.  My great fortune to be out on this fantastic day was not lost on me. 

 I think the moment might have been lost on the dogs, their noses were always to the ground.  Each to their own!

If I planted a flower each time I thought of my family and friends my garden would bloom forever

What's on my mind today is my Scarecrow

 What do you think of my Scarecrow?

Should the hat stay or go?

Every day I talk to my seedlings and ask them to grow just a little bit more and every day I yell at my dogs to stay away from my little green babies.

Spout The Plushie Lout

It’s time to release my latest little one, 

I’m a bit apprehensive!

He didn’t take long to make, an hour or two and I was through.

But there’s been so much doubt about releasing Spout,

He has an outrageous attitude,

I’m ashamed to say he’s turned out to be somewhat of a lout.

Every day he runs around the house, knocking things over,

He gives me such grief and the dogs run for cover.

When a visitor comes to the door,

Spout runs up and gives an almighty roar.

Thankfully, all this activity makes Spout a tired toy.

So it’s nice for all of us when we can hear him no more,

Well, just a quiet snore!
