Its such a beautiful day I took my goodies outside to experiment with my digital camera.
Hyanciths (I believe) and a spring has spring tag.
All I need to do is add a binding to this table mat. It is made from Hoffman Bali Pops.

Sometimes we are in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. I feel it is out of our control, it is meant to be for reasons we may never understand. I have always been clairvoyant and I never know when something is going to happen or why it does. I look at my gift as a sixth sense. I often try to ignore it for it puts me in some very unusual situations. That leave me asking why me? This is one of those situations and also of being at the right place at the right time by only a car length on a busy express way or maybe the wrong place at the wrong time at the same time.
While driving home from an appointment on my hour ride home I decided to call my sister whom is also clairvoyant. I’m talking to her while driving on speaker phone chatting about daily mundane stuff when out of the blue I tell her I have to go ,because a man has just died in front of me . I end the call with a click as I see the traffic swerve and everyone slamming on their brakes around me. I hear the sound of mental crunching in front of my car. I come to a sudden stop with my foot firmly depressing the brake pedal to the floor. In front of my car is a two vehicle accident I feel it is bad but it really does not look that bad at first glance.
I sit for a few seconds and watch as people get out seeing if everyone is alright. I begin to get out of my car to go help. I see an older man run up to car closest to me and pull the door open with great force. He leans into the car and I hear the older man yell “this guy is dead “as he protrudes his head back out from the first car. I’m confused the front of the car looks intact and the doors too. The other car looks worse it has no front end left to it. The other driver emerges from the front end damaged car saying “I’m ok”. He walks towards me and stands by my side. I feel inclined to go see what I can do for the other man. I start to walk toward the older gentlemen standing beside the car with the man that died. I ask “Is there anything we can do?” he says " no he is dead there is no pulse and we best not move him.” I can see the deceased man he is a young man around 30 ish he is wearing a wedding band and I notice there are children’s toys in the back seat which is now mangled into twisted metal. But I do not see a car seat. My heart sinks into my stomach. I walk back to assist with the other gentlemen who is now rubbing his chest. I look into his vehicle to see the steering column is bent and no air bag has deployed. I softly ask him “would like to sit in my car and wait for the ambulance sweetie”. He says “I need to get home to my kids”, I understand shock and irrationally thinking so I tell him to sit on the hood of my car. 911 had been called by a few people so we wait for what feels like forever. I decide to sneak in a few pictures of the scene with my I phone. I don’t know why I did this it is totally out of character for me. I tell everyone around me to feel free to come sit in my car to keep warm for it is a gloomy damp cold day. I offer bottled water which is in a case on the back seat for anyone. I wait for a reply but no one moves or takes up my offer that I can see. Soon the paramedic’s arrive. I tell them to go to the mangled car first as they hop out of their still moving vehicle. I say “I feel he needs your attention first.’ Within a few more seconds more EMT and Firemen arrive. I Tell them to check out the gentleman on my car, sit rubbing his chest. It takes a bit to talk him in to going to the hospital he soon accepts the offer realizing he is more hurt than he thinks he is. They have now got the other young man out of the other car and are working on him frantically performing CPR. The police that are now swarming the scene tell me to hang tight until they can get a statement. They begin to block the area off in both directions.
So now everyone involved is on their way to hospital, just I and a few witnesses are left standing around. I decide to get in my car to wait. I sit patiently waiting a little shook up with what has just happened. I soon realized I was not alone; there was someone whom decided to wait in my car for help. It was the young man whom was pronounced dead at the scene by the older gentlemen. I saw the paramedic s take him away on the stretcher while trying to revive him. I was shocked he sat ever so clearly beside me in the passenger seat, looking totally confused and lost. He leans towards me and is about to speak, shocked and confused myself I say "you have been in a bad accident you are fighting for your life right now, you need to focus on staying with your body and trying to get better so you can live" He sits and stares at me confused and scared as if he can't believe what is going on. I now try to help him by asking for help from my angels and his guardian angels. To take him to where he needs to be. He sits beside me in a state of shock, I wanted to help someone I just didn't know it was going to be this way. Just then I get a knock on my window it is an officer he is ready for my statement he opens my door and waves his hand to guide me towards his car. I get out and go to his car not wanting to deal with what is in my car. The officer tells me with a shaky voice “it is a fatality accident the young man has died.” I give the officer all the information I can on what I witnessed except for the part where the young man appeared in my car and he takes all my info and says that I can go now. I share my concern and grief with him and thank him for doing a great job as I get out of the patrol car.
I get back into my car and prepare to drive back home. I put the car in reverse and begin to back down the road for the median is too high to drive over and the road is blocked in front of me by the mangled cars. I put my arm over the seat to back up and again I see this young man now sitting in the back seat still confused and scared he is leaning towards me and asks “what do I do?” I tell him “go with his angels they know what is best for you”. I exclaim to him “you cannot come home with me, you need to be with your family and your angels, trust them, go with them “and I watched as he looks around and then appears to see something, he focuses his attention to it and fades away. I ‘m relieved he is gone and pray he finds his way. I called my sister back once I was on the road home. I tell her that there was a bad accident and a young man has died, she is confused and tells me “you have already told me that”. I answer her as I recall some of what I had said “how did I do that I just found out the gentleman was dead.” She repeats my last conversation with her before the accident. I was in shock for the accident did not look bad from the beginning. Then she says “so did he find his way or is he still with you in the car.” I tell her he has left and realize she already knows everything. I tell her I will call her later and hang up.
When I get home it is still consuming all of my thoughts. I try not to think about it, it is out of my hands. I can't sleep so I get up and decide to download the pictures I took and review them. To my surprise I see something in the pictures I did not notice at the scene. I see two shadows or wet spots maybe just marks on the barrier wall where one or both cars made contact with it. I cannot explain them or figure out what they are, Why they are shaped the way they are? I feel they are something or someone but I am not sure if they were there to help or what their purpose was. But I feel they are the reason I took the pictures without really even seeing them while I was there. From the news a heard the young man lived on life support for a few days and later died after being unplugged by his family.
I have thought about this young man often and hope he found his way. I feel he came to me because I could see and hear him and him me. I’m glad I could help this lost soul I wanted to help who ever needed help that day, but I never thought I would be helping someone that had been in transition of crossing over and be a witness of the whole thing, seeing it from both sides of the spectrum. I share these pictures with you hoping you see what I see, I have not doctored these pictures they are straight from my I phone. There are no graphic details in these pictures other than the crushed vehicles and people whom were there helping such as firemen, police and bystanders. They appear as shadows but they are in every picture even when no one else is in the picture. Feel free to leave a comment... Written by keeperofdreams

I guess I'm in some weird nostalgia place right now, because the past couple of days things keep popping into my brain that I miss, and I started a list.
Maybe it's the position of the planets, moon phase, or some other cosmic occurrence that is causing these random thoughts; two friends curiously report the same.
Please feel free to add comments with your own things you miss, too!

Kicking butt and taking names in the world of podcasting
Most don't. Kick butt, I mean, or take any names. Most make me yawn.
It is a brand new year, and I boldly make the statement that podcasters must step up the game
if they wish to maintain an audience. Listeners are no longer flocking to a name.
Time is valuable and everyone is busy, giving up an hour to listen to someone is not the
easiest thing anymore.
Bring the meat and potatoes to the table, or don't bother showing up for dinner. It is that simple.
I may adore you as a colleague, but if your podcast hour is a waste of my time, I will see you on
twitter.
So what's to do? Bring not just the meat and potatoes but the full course meal.
Bring value to your listeners. Who is your audience? If your podcast revolves around
eCommerce, bring good solid eCom info to the table. Info that can be actually used immediately
Quit using my time for an hour long commercial for someone's product or service
Manage the mic - the most irritating thing in the world is to hear several pople
speak over each other
Mix it up, make it interesting - no one wants to eat bologna everyday.
There are too many choices of podcasts, internet radio shows, etc. out there to rely on merely
a name to bring in an audience anymore.
So bring me a meal, and answer the most important question when you tweet it up:
What's in it for me, the listener?
