We Belong to the Earth

Good evening my dears,
Today has been such a wonderfully gorgeous day, filled with the perfume of Spring on the breeze and a sky so clear and blue I could gaze at the moon on my way home from school. I was in school all day, gazing out of the window at the dancing golden willow tree outside. When I walked past the Willow on my way to class I saw the clearest Dryad I've ever seen in my life, so clear I almost thought I had seen a person standing beside the tree. She was wonderfully sweet, filled with joy and dance.
I was able to give my dear friend Lisa the birthday present I had made for her, a scarf in bright yellows, oranges and reds that she absolutely loved. I also gave another of my classmates a Snood I custom made for her, one of the things I absolutely love the most is when I see people's reactions to my work. They both just held their pieces close to their face and buried themselves in it, smiling and looking so happy and contented. It warmed my heart so much, when I get to hear that breathy whisper of 'oh I just want to cuddle it forever!'
I have another full day of class tomorrow including an assessment, I feel strangely nervous and calm all at the same time thinking about it. I had the realisation today that no matter how nervous or worried I am about it, it will still come just the same, and tommorow I will still be doing it. So I have decided to embrace it, do my very best, and cast worries to the earth.
I think in a way my mind is also a little scattered because my Dad is very poorly at the moment. He has been fighting with a terrible chest infection that resulted in him having to have a chest x-ray yesterday and quite a few trips to the doctors because he hasn't been able to sleep, eat or breath very well at all. I can't bear the thought of him being sick, it makes me worry. I love my Dad very much. Luckily my Mum is very insistent on looking after him and making sure he takes all of his medication and goes back to the doctors if he needs to, so I know he is in good hands.
So for tonight I am going to rest and be quiet, and trust in the universe to take care of everything as it always does. I thought I would pop in and share some photos from the past week, a little quietness from me to you.
My current dreamboard, very rudimentary as you can see! I have it taped to the side of my book case in the bedroom so that I can always look at it. Lots of bikes, vegetables, dried and fresh herbs and pigeons!
And, since I haven't shared photos of them in what feels like forever, here are some photos of two of my best beloveds! Bear is always hiding somewhere, that little secret fiend, but Kingsley and Sev love the camera so they'll always come out when they hear it.
One of my favourite outfits recently, a fuzzy grey cardigan I got in Glastonbury, my 'plant print' dress and two of my favourite necklaces.
