...on a canvas.
...these seven singing boats are carrying the notes of Bach's 1st Symphony, as printed on the vintage pages of my mother's piano book back in 1962.
...loving crafting and paper crafts, she donated me two of her books some months ago.
Thanks to lovely, talented and creative Smaranda, who also played with music sheets recently creating beautiful butterflies, I thought of a new paper to be making paper boats with, other than newspaper pages in favorite shades and tones , also holding a special, personal importance.
Thank you mother and thank you Smaranda :)
To both of you and all dear flickfriends here:
May your weekends be filled with the nicest of musical symphonies
....and if there's not a particular one you like currently....write your own! :)
Love
Ivy xx

I came to notice that music plays a big role in my life.
I played both the piano and trumpet when I was younger. Although I dreaded the times when my parents made me practice, I now appreciate that fact that they did. I learned a lot from music. It gave me a challenge to work up to, and it also gave me a chance to express myself. I've met a lot of great people though music who later on became my closest friends.
I'm glad that I was introduced to music so early on in my life. Although I don't play now, my experience in music definitely defines who I am today.

...our souls are eternally travelling in time...destined to reach "There Where The Light Shines"
...two, little, singing paper boats representing here two souls, travelling together in time.
....goodmorning and have the nicest of days!....it's dark, grey, cold and rainy again here, which pushes me more to find the light and sunshine inside.
....working for my shop is such a case. The current stage is that of framing and styling the printed pictures, so that in a while some new items appear on the shelves.
...eventhough it's a home based and online based tiny business, it gives me all the pleasure of the world to deal with it and all the steps that it involves, enjoying every one of them, not hurring and just being tuned to myself while working.
I know I love my work and I'm doing the right thing when the following happens:
I can loose myself in my work & at the same time I can find myself in it.
And they both do :)
Have great productive days, wherever your work and jobs might be. It's worth to give the best of us, even when we are not in the most favorite of positions.....and I' ve been there, too...for quite a long time...as mentioned before....Patience is a virtue. Let's learn to adapt some.
Always all the best
Ivy xx :)

I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes
She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed
You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget your own agenda
Get ready to be sold
I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwaking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame
And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
See you and me together
And how it should have been
I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear.

This animal once walked in and sat down right next to me when I was writing at the desk. Being an oversized cat it gave me quite a fright when I realised that something big and dark was sitting next to me staring at me...

I've been playing the piano since I was probably around 6 years old. I took lessons from a woman named Mrs. Waggoner who lived down the street from us. I quit lessons as soon as my mom would let me, which I think was probably sometime around 6th grade. But I never quit playing. I simply taught myself the songs I wanted to play.
This piano is actually my mother's. I used to tell her that I wanted to take it and put it in my own house since I play it more than she does, but her response for as long as I can remember has always been "everything will be yours one day." Talk about morbid.
Now I play whenever I visit my parents' house. I'm fantastic at the songs I know (though since it's been years since I've had solid time to practice, some of my favorites are a little rusty), and I can teach myself any song I want if given enough time. But I'm nowhere near as good as Andy. He used to play piano in competitions. Whenever his folks went out of town during college, he'd have everyone over for a party and sometime around 2 or 3am, when he was good and drunk, he'd sit down and start blazing away at the piano. That's back before we were dating, when we were just friends. And I still remember watching him in awe as his hands raced across the keys, playing beautiful, complicated music at the wee hours of the morning. I think I may have been falling in love with him at the time without even realizing it.
