My sister healed herself with music once. She was very sad after an unexpected miscarriage and the simple act of putting a CD player and some CD’s on her kitchen counter slowly helped her come to terms with her loss. New genres and old favorites wafted through her kitchen as she went through the motions of feeding her family. The music she chose eventually lifted her spirits and helped her realize how blessed she was and how bright her future was. Although it didn’t make her forget her loss, she felt better able to cope with it. She still loves music more than anyone I know. I don’t think I was born with the right kind of ears for music. I like it but I don’t have to have it, at least not all the time. The subtleties and nuances in music never seemed to make much of a difference to me and most of time I have classical music playing softly in the background or just peaceful silence. For years I’ve been listening to a Boston classical station and I have learned a lot about that music. A lilting, tinkling piece playing in my car or as I pad around my bedroom in the evening cheers me but I wouldn’t say music brings me the joy it brings my sister. I also like showtunes and anything that reminds me of the easy-listening music my grandparents had on their old hi-fi at dinnertime. Songs from high school are fun sometimes but for a very long time I couldn’t listen to love ballads – they made me feel things I didn’t want to feel anymore. But I’ve abandoned some old notions about music this year. At one of the many bric-a-brac shops around town, I found a used copy of the soundtrack to the film Mona Lisa Smile and I swear I can hear the movie theme speaking…not in words, but in strains and inflections. There is one part that seems to be telling a story about something lost and the next part – the lilting aria part – gives back that everything will be alright. It’s uncanny that I hadn’t known before that music could do that. And when I wait for the deliverance … that hopeful answering part … my heart aches just a little bit. It is truly beautiful… Now I feel it with lots of music – soft harmonies that are filled with substance and meaning… and promises of good. Some of it leaves hollow echoes that I can’t quite define and yet, I always feel better for having listened. These are the pieces that give back an intimate feeling to the listener and make us feel less alone. My sister was right…music can heal and like a good book, it connects us to the composers themselves, the very authors of music. Robert Frost once said that a really good poem starts with a lump in the throat. I think the same could be said for certain music too. ~ For lumps in the throat, listen to: To Kill a Mockingbird soundtrack Peyton Place soundtrack John Williams – Saving Pvt Ryan Ennio Morricone – anything

Hello my dear friends, unfortunately I hurt my back whilst shoveling snow on Sunday morning. That meant that I had to rest a lot by lying down, because sitting was the worst thing I could do. So whilst lying down I took the time to write up a tutorial of my hymn page feathers for you. I love these feathers so much! When I look at them I imagine being embraced by them and any worries being taken away from me. I also imagine feelings of comfort, warmth and safety. I chose to use hymn pages because this is how I imagine Angels wings to look. What better choice than paper written with songs for God, made into angel feathers? Of course you can make these feathers out of music sheets, book pages, dictionary pages, or any other kind of paper that would suit you or your creation best. The feathers are very easy to make, they take a little time, but you will love them when you are done. I have made a few feathers out of different papers so you can see what they will look like. Some more hymn page feathers. This feather was made from a very old German book. The writing is called "Alt Deutsche Schrift" ~ Old German Writing. My grandmother used to write like this and taught me how to read it. This feather is made from a dictionary page. Now let us start ... this is what you will need: - Hymn pages (music sheets, dictionary pages, book pages) - Scissors - Tacky glue - Wire cutters - Cloth stem wire wire 22 gauge (mine was 45 cms long) - Piece of card for the template - A pencil To start off with, print out the template. I have given you 2 sizes, a larger feather and a smaller one. I will have all measurements listed for both of them. Cut a piece of wire 35cms/20cms long long and bend the wire in half, so that one end is 3cms longer than the other. Take a piece of paper of your choice, and draw a line of glue down the center and place your wire into the glue, leaving the single piece of wire of 3cms out at the bottom. Now place your second sheet of paper on top of the first, press it down firmly and leave it to completely dry. After it is dry, cut out your template and lay it on your sheet with the wire centered and draw around it ~ now you can cut the feather shape out. Next cut a fine strip of paper about 5 mm wide and the length of a page, spread some glue on it and wrap it around the uncovered wire, starting at the top. When you get to the end of the wire, wrap it around one last time, cut it the excess off and let it dry again. Now comes the fun part! Taking a pair of sharp scissors, and cut fine diagonal lines into your feather towards the center where the wire is but be sure to not cut all the way down to the wire. Cut all the way around your feather... and voila you are done!!! Sit back and take a look at your beautiful creation! I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial as much as I have making it for you and just remember that these feathers will be delicate after you have made them - they are made from paper after all! And last but not least ... ... a new pincushion I would like to share with you. Made from a vintage baby cup, some old lace and a boot button for the center of the flower. I love the look of old tarnished things! I always wonder who they used to belong to so many years ago. Have a peaceful and creative day, Karen B.

This paper garland is made of vintage yellowed book pages (1950s - 90s). The stars come in three different sizes (2.7'', 1.9'' and 1.5''). They are cut from different old books, so each will be unique and their content will vary. On each end of the garland there is a loop (for hanging). To make it 3D, you will have to fold the front and back sheets along the stitching. All vintage book garlands will be similar as the ones in the photographs. These garlands could make very original Christmas, party or winter wedding decor or even unique hanging over a bookshelf or window. It could also be a great gift for someone special or a person who loves books and reading. Please contact me for custom length sizes. Have a look at other offers made from yellowed old book pages https://www.etsy.com/pl/shop/moffka?section_id=34031893 For more listings you may visit https://www.etsy.com/pl/shop/moffka Thanks so much for visiting my site
