Giveaway # 12 - Time is a Companion

And, indeed, time does pass

and, hopefully, this will all soon be over and we can return to normal

whatever the new normal will be

for I feel sure it will never quite be the same as before

This is very much a copy of a piece I did a few years ago and has been the only ever piece I was happy with

I had longed to do it again but have no need for two so was very pleased to reproduce it as a giveaway 

Another project done on an old piece of tongue & groove from the rummage box

I do so moan at hubby for keeping al these offcuts

but they do come in useful so ought to cut him some slack

Most of the metal embellishments are genuine old watch parts

There is the odd random cog thrown in and the flourishes are made using one of Finnabair's moulds and resin

Giveaway #11 - Hanging Heart

Week number 11 already ... can you believe that?

It is most odd that, on one hand, time seems to have stood still

yet on the other it is simply flying by

There is a lot going on in my mind right now

just when I thought I had calmed down a little and was getting to grips with

all that is going on along comes a whole new wave of emotions

utter sadness for the now more than 41,000 people who have died

FORTY ONE THOUSAND 

just can't get my head around it

anger & rage at the utter idiots who think it ok to congregate with no 

thought to social distancing - isn't that a horrible, horrible phrase?!?

anger & rage that this is happening in the first place

despair that it will ever go away and I will get to hug and kiss my family

again ... all of us crammed around the dining table sitting kneee-to-knee and

elbow to elbow as we share roast dinners or pizza

& grief for all that is lost and for what now never will be

But I know it's not just me feeling like that

even the most strong people I know feel the same

So, for now, I shall continue with my little giveaway project

for it surely has helped me enormously

giving me something on which to focus & be motivated

& a routine to the week

Giveaway #10 - Collect Beautiful Moments

Well I am certainly longing for the sea so figured some of you might be too

so this weeks offering is a little shell

The small shells were gathered from one of our favourite beaches in Scotland when we did, indeed, collect beautiful moments -  but are now given away with much pleasure and love

I have one of these that just hangs on the wall as it is but if this does not appeal to the winner then I am sure we can mount it in some way but it’s too deep for a frame.
