I Dream A World

Langston Hughes

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn

What a character!

I made myself smile making this (the yellow tint, not the book's baby blue).

I also went to the shop and considered buying the hug-est bar of chocolate, but left (smiling) with a bag of wafers - although the sugar is probably the same..

Did a love language quiz with my pals- hysterical 🤣 - it was fun, informative and also a real giggle to do. Lots of giggles today- thanks for the prompt 🙏🏽✨

Your Primary Love Language® is: Physical Touch™

Your Love Tank overflows with Physical Touch. You long for hand-holding and hugs. A warm embrace or a simple pat on the back helps you feel connected and cherished. Touch creates a bond of connectedness. And, for you, it communicates love and affection more than words ever could.

Now that you've discovered your Primary Love Language, don't miss the opportunity to upgrade to The 5 Love Languages Premium Assessment to unlock all five percentages, your specific Love Language dialects, and SO MUCH MORE. As a bonus for upgrading right now, we'll automatically transfer your free quiz results so you're already 20% complete!

In the vernacular of Quality Time™, nothing says, "I love you," like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there - with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby - makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. The love language of Quality Time also means sharing quality conversations and quality activities.

Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an "Acts of Service" person will speak volumes. The words they most want to hear: "Let me do that for you." Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this love language their feelings don't matter. Finding ways to serve speaks volumes to the recipient of these acts.

Actions don't always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, "I love you," is important - hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten. Kind, encouraging, and positive words are truly life-giving.

Don't mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this love language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous - so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly.

Meet MC (from mouse+cup). She is called Mary Cassatt and has hung in my mum's sitting room since I was 3 (mum paints less now). She loves the red flowers and the white choc-coconut-almond mix when she drinks her Earl Grey with lemon (she may be American, but has travelled lots in Europe). She "makes dentelle" like in the rhyme (I had to do French too). She is more 'proper' than I am - maybe.

Not exactly sticking to the brief lols. Anyhoo. My son is a far better portrait artist so I will share a wee digital drawing he did of me for our website. It’s wonderful how others see you. I will keep working on a self portrait but it will take me a while I reckon.

Attempting to draw this wee cheeky, chonky, chappy. Has he had too much holiday fair or are his feathers just fluffed up??? Also, has anyone noticed that whenever you see a Robin, there are rarely any other birds around? This one didn't make much sound, so now I am challenged to see if I can hear a Robin sing! Thanks for the prompt!

“A problem is something you make, life is something you live” Eartha Kitt

Good Morning, I say.

Whether sunny or grey.

It’s important to check in,

at the start of the day.

Whether by prayer or reflection.

Or with a book from the shelf.

Whatever the tool you decide to choose,

only you can truly inspire yourself.

Whilst I am inspired by the amazing Eartha Kitt, her inspiration serves to remind me to inspire myself.

I would need to go back to basics again, and make sure I follow the spirit level. I would need to have all blocks ordered to get the right look, but definitely keep to the lines and ask for feedback.

You took me in when I was a pile, shaken and confused, and you will be there - to inspire me and guide me so I don't get messed up again.

Thank you!

One of my favourite prompts so far, using bias binding that belonged to my late mother-in-law, and patterned paper threaded behind this. I wasn't sure what I was going to end up when I started but I really like the end result!

within is peace

the warmth of home

My besties love-language is gifts. I already keep a small bag of 'lucky coins' she gave me in my purse.

For all the things I do not know,

I liked making up a word!

'werry'

Part worry, part planning.

To edge case the sh*t out of a task or goal to make sure it gets done.

To visualise problems of a task ahead of the task, in order to void them.

An internal plan or thought process that helps one feel more confident to achieve it.

Thinking about possible problems ahead of time, so feeling able to achieve a goal in a smooth, unhindered way. Preparing a task in your head, focusing on avoiding negative outcomes.

Thinking about a task and the best way to do it. Finding edge cases that will ruin a task as part of planning it.

To werry.

Werrying.

I spent all morning werrying about my ftp test, so now I am totally ready for it.

This was an interesting exercise grabbing for sounds, recognising the familiar and trying to avoid it. Stealing from other languages and googling so as to avoid inadvertantly causing offense.
