CAPRA and the MAGICAL GOAT BLANKET PROJECT

http://thegoatborrower.blogspot.com/2011/01/capra-and-magical-goat-blanket-broject.html

Just a reminder that I am still searching for fabric and scraps from the Four Quarters to complete the Capra Yule Blanket.

Many thanks to all who have contributed. Your energy will be greatly felt and honored come our ceremony at Yule.

I note that I have a good number of readers outside the US.
It is my hope that word of the Capra Project will spread and
and surprise packages will arrive from far and away.

Because that's what the Capra Project is all about.


Much love to you all from Mimi and Darla

(and if someone can point out to me why, oh why my link thing will never, ever work.....it would be greatly appreciated.)

The Winds of Change

Well....I had this wonderful blog all written in my head......
all about me and my magical goat fly-iiin' through the air on our way to
a new adventure......but truth be told, it didn't happen that way.

It didn't happen that way at all.

So, for now, until I can make myself write the truth of the past few days
I'll leave you all with this:

Anthropomorphism: Attribution of human characteristics to nonhuman beings.

Goat Borrower: One who borrows a goat with full intentions of returning it....but forgetting what it might be like to actually do that.

Anthropomorphic Goat Borrowing:
It will break your heart.

Welcome Spring: Part II

What? I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Someone is going to pay for this. Maybe not today...and maybe not tomorrow.....but when you least expect it.....

My hat smells funny.


Happy (almost!) Spring!

Get Along Lil' Goatie

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Goat ber-ries are rollin'
Goat berries they roll...
they hi-ide.....

Scoop 'em out-
Sweep 'em up-
Put'em in a sack-
Turn around-
Look again
And then they're back-

Goat ber-ries they hiiiiii-ide!

With love to Verde Farms from Darla & Maaa

What d'ya got in that onesie?

Is this a potato?
Is this a pear?
Is this my goat
in underwear?

CAPRA and the MAGICAL GOAT BLANKET Project

Time to post some new pics of CAPRA and the MAGICAL GOAT BLANKET PROJECT treasures!

I still get *so* excited when a package comes in the mail!
I'm especially excited that sail and pirate friends have thought to contribute.

While the Capra Project is indeed, ultimately, about the celebration of life through goats it needn't be necessarily related to goats in any way. The idea is to have a finished blanket that contains the energy of the Universe.

Hoping that the project grows and packages arrive from the Four Quarters.
You really can feel the love as an almost tangible thing when each package is opened.

I humbly thank you for caring.

Linda Kamuela, Hawaii
Fabric from a south seas sail on the sloop "Topaz"
(I like to think Patricia might have used it once in an escapade! ;)
The "Dear Violet" that you see is how Linda, author of Starcrossed, a wonderful historical/pirate novel, knows me.
You can read my stories of Violet and her legend and her adventures in my PIRATE GIRL blog! As you know, I stink at links.)

Fran Liverpool, NY Green
Ribbon/rawhide
(Who hand delivered her treasure even though it was a long walk to my desk and her hip hurt that day. It meant all that much more.)

Autumn Liverpool, NY
Purple tie dyed fabric
(Autumn promises me she's my biggest fan! I promise Autumn that the fabric is perfect! AUtumn doesn't know how much I appreciate her support.) ;)

*Georgia Auburn, NY
Black fabric, tulle, baubles, ribbon & bat.
(*I have to say that this package came Anon....and if I hadn't been able to guess
from the fabric that is was my lovely friend Georgia I would have been able to guess from the smell of her perfume! Opening the envelope was like Georgia wrapping her arms around me and giving me a great big Georgia hug!) :)
