Flying low

I´m still here. Sort of. I think.

I´m having a slipped disc in my back and one more on the way to slip, and a lot of pain, and I´m waiting to find out if I´m going to have an operation or not. So it´s really hard to find energy to be creative... and even positive.

I did have a very good experience during Easter though. I stumbled across Etsy.com and their Homemade section, and came across a LOT of inspiriring stuff. Mostly clothes, which made me take out my sewing machines again  for the first time in years, to make some clothes for myself.

And I bought some very small glass bottles and some leather necklace cords to hang them in, so you can wear them around your neck.

The glass bottles arrived in the mail today, and for a little while I managed to forget my back and leg pain. I put in all kinds of stuff, paper with text, my own hair, animal bones, freshwater pearls, gold glitter, white horsehair. I´m thinking of them as small talismans in some way.
I´m still waiting for the leather cords with anticipation, so I can open my Etsy shop. I´ll let you know here when I do:-)
