I am passionate about things. I always have been. I feel so much more strongly about the arts and about nature than a lot of people and I sometimes struggle to find ways to communicate those feelings. The people in my everyday life are amazing people but... I don't have much in common with them (except one or two on certain subjects) but I really have a hard time with this.
One of the things I struggle with most is how much I want to talk about music- and not just talk about it- feel it and have discussions. I want discuss that feeling of falling in love with it.
To me, music is the only way to feel life sometimes. It's the only way to communicate feelings and to just be in the moment. It bridges a gap and I don't know what I would do without it (that's why I studied Audiology in school- so I could help people hear music).
So- this Aurora is one of those musician/artists that I am falling in love with at the moment. And true to myself, I am doing it passionately. You see, I go for a period of time where I listen to the same stuff and it's all good but I crave something new. Not just a new song but a whole album. Something with emotion and work and just ugh- this was it:
Aurora - All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend
I linked it above.
I listened to a song I just happened to come across on YouTube and then I dove into the abyss- I learned about her- where she was from - watched documentaries and fell in love. I love her style, her view on life and most of all her amazingly wonderful sad but happy music! :) I'm content for the moment. Until I need more... more music ... new music and that need to fall in love again :)
Ok- this post was supposed to be about my worry cacti that you can find in my store link in the navigation bar above! I hand make each one of these out of felt, buttons, glue, thread and a whole love time time and love. They are not perfect but they are so much fun. You can set them on your desk at work or at home. Write down your worries on the paper that is provided (I also have extras you can print from the printables tab above) and place it in your cactus's mouth so they eat your worries before they eat you! You also get "care" instructions.
These are my favorites that I have made so far below. They are one of a kind since I do not use patterns. I get bored when I use patterns. Please check out the store as I will be posting more as often as I can :)
The bottom one I still have some last minute things to do but it has turned out to be my favorite. It's a shelf you can either hang on the wall (yes it has hooks) or you can set it on your desk and I got some lights that go on the inside to give it a special touch- yep- cactus lights! :)
Okay-I'm up way too late for a work night- enjoy the music and my cacti I have created! :) Night and thank you for reading!
My favorite so far... still have to do some finishing touches but I'm pretty pleased!
