Time somehow escaped me...

... and it's July already!
I know I haven't blogged in a very long time, and I have thought about it sometimes, but never quite felt like it. I think I may be ready to start again! I've made a few cards in the last few months I'd like to share so once I get the photos on my computer I can start posting some fun stuff.

P.S. This photo is from last year, but my boy is at the snow at the moment, so I thought it was kind of appropriate.

Birthday List

So I just wanted to add some things to my birthday list. This is mostly for my benefit, so I can keep track of the yummy things I would like to own eventually. I'll probably just have to tell mum and dad in person since I don't think they read my blog!

Found a beautiful spiral necklace on Etsy:

Be the Change spiral pendant by lpjewelry

I think it's wonderful. I've had a fascination with spirals lately and mandala images keep coming up in my life so I just really want to pay attention to that for now. Also, such a great message, the quote 'Be the change you wish to see in the world' has really stuck with me recently, so this is just perfect!
It will convert to a bit of money in AU$ and I've been unemployed for so long I really can't justify it. So, birthday list it is.

Last week in college we watched a video interview with Ram Dass and it really gave me a lot to think about. I don't want to try to explain it because I just won't be able to do it properly and probably ruin the message. But I found his book in Borders today, Remember, Be Here Now:It was written in the 70's and is not just a book with heaps of text to read. It has illustrations and seems to be quite simple and easy to understand, it looks awesome.

There are loads of other books I want too but I just can't read them fast enough! So I'll just try and work through what I've got now.

In the middle of reading:

Visioning by Lucia Capacchione - about creating vision boards, set out really simply, what I've read so far is great!

Make your Creative Dream Real by Sark - I just love Sark's books, they are fun and creative and inspiring! This one has simple steps to work on your creative dream/s in an easy way.

Your Sacred Self by Wayne W. Dyer - I found this to be really relevant after watching the video at college last week! I haven't read any of his books before but I'm enjoying this one, about getting in touch with your spiritual self and bringing that into your every day life.

That's my boy!

Cute kid, huh.

Fairywren on Etsy

Fairywren is me! Woo!

So I finally listed some of my cards:


Please go have a look and tell your friends!

My next big challenge is to get the word out there and let people know what I do, so if you have any free marketing suggestions it would be much appreciated!

Clark property

I had a wonderfully relaxing and productive day at Josh's today!

Even though I've been everywhere already I love exploring all the places on his property... this building out the back used to be kennels but is now used by his parents for their office. I love the colour of it and how leafy it is.


This is the little flat around the side of the house... when they were building the house they are in now this was their lounge room, kitchen and bathroom. It hasn't been used for a long time but there's still lots of stuff in there, books and drums and lots of craft stuff, and I love how old and worn the place looks and it just makes me so happy to look around at all the odd bits and pieces inside.


We called this one 'Man and Dog'.

What a wonderful message

Yes yes yes"i really think that we create our own thoughts, and we can create new habits for ourselves with repetition. this print is a visual interpretation of this idea-- we can create more positivity and abundance in our lives by simply changing our thought patterns!"

Jess Gonacha on Etsy, and her abundance blog.

Sarah Gardner - wowee

It could be because I'm pretty tired at the moment but Sarah Gardner's prints almost made me cry when I found them. I'm just so excited and in awe that artists are creating such beautiful works that feel so right to me.

I would love to be supporting these artists who I really believe are spreading such wonderful, positive messages by buying more prints but I just don't have the spare money for it at the moment.

Also I am feeling a little bit intimidated by all this amazing work I have found recently and don't feel like mine compares at all. But I guess I should just start somewhere so I'm doing something. Nothing will happen if I never start because I'm too scared.

You can check out more of Sarah's stuff on her Flickr page.
