Dear Constant Reader,
I know a number of people who are creative and skilled artists and I have been the beneficiary of not only their talents, but also their kindness and generosity. I’d like share their work with you and what it meant to me.
You all know the story of Pubert the Bat, but one of the important parts of his story is that he turned up when I was having a rough time. His presence* continues to cheer me and bring me luck.
Last year was one of the worst in my life and these artisans helped bring a little joy into it. I appreciate their artistry, but the gifts mean so much more to me. In a dark time they brought some light into my life, knowing that someone was thinking of me. You know the saying “Food is love”? In this case it was “crafting is caring”.
I’m having trouble finding the right words, so I’ll stop now and let the individual artworks speak.

*Although his cage needs a little repair work. Bartholomew tried to climb it. Worry not — Pubert is fine. With the exception of a couple of tassels that Bart couldn’t resist and were reduced to shreds, it’s nothing a little wood glue can’t fix.
