Love all that raggedy wonderful! It reminds me to hint to you that I'm working on some clothing at the moment with a definite Stevie Nicks/Havisham feel. All shall be revealed in time...
Second up- I've been blessed with another reward- The Premio Meme Award! The lovely Lisa from Cecil and Co has tagged me to write 7 things about my personality and then pass on the award to 7 more bloggers, in the hope they choose to do the same. So here we go:
1. I almost always throw away the instructions for something when I buy it, thinking 'I don't need those...! They're for stupid people!'- only to fish them out of the bin 5 minutes later when I (unsurprisingly) can't figure out how to work whatever it is I'm using.
2. Six months ago I used to be so anxious about leaving the house that I would do everything I could to avoid going out. But now- it's gone. In fact the only time now that I get annoyed about having to leave the house is because I would rather stay home and tinker about on my hobbies! I know the biggest reason why this changed, but I'm not telling anyone what it is because it's a little bit dorky and rather embarassing. So there. :P
3. When I was a kid I used to believe I had special powers. Even now I can tell time without a clock, make it rain (and stop), secure car parking spots, make the wind blow harder and get flies to leave the room.
4. I am terrified of wells, falling through cracked ice, and something else that scares me so much I can't even bring myself to type it out. Suffice to say Poe shared my horror.
5. I'm not much of a sweets person, I'd rather have seconds/thirds of what we had for tea, or maybe some cheese. It's rare that I want something sweet, and if I do it's usually more of an afternoon tea thing and even then it's probably lemony.
6. I can play the guitar- bluegrass and early folk melodies mostly. I'm good enough to do something with it but I don't expect I ever will. It's more of a self-amusement.
7. I collect scissors, union jack flags, ridiculously huge keys and things with old ships on them. I'm not the sort of collector who will buy something just because I collect it though, the actual object really has to speak to me. It's probably more of a predilection than a collecting habit. :D

xo,
merle
p.s. my donkey rosebud shared your fear of cracks in the ice-winter was so hard for her and i so wish i could carry her over any icy patches but there was no way-she weighted 400 pounds-she would lean on me to the point that she wanted me to carry her though! i think i can carry you if you need me to though!
You're afraid of ravens that say "nevermore"? :)
I'd love to come sing while you play... I'm good enough to do something with it, but probably never will as well :)
Make that another award x2 :)

Finding parking spaces what a cool power, you'd make a mint round here,
Lovely insight
Gorgeous treasury...but the list held even more booty...
ps you must tell us the dorky secret to getting out and about..
I think I want to be your friend. I dress in dyed clothes, I handstitch everything, I love bluegrass and I love dark stuff but love life too. I have a ridiculous amount of stuff I have collected. Not vintage, just aged and worn and tired and so beautiful to me. I am gonna get me a coffee and have a good read today and peruse ur flicker. I think you are a woman after my own heart.
