Thank YOU Winterchild. I subscribed to your chanel just a few days ago and there you are reviewing Sarah Howard!
It is great to see where questions might arise.
I ummed and ahhed about putting the long original titles on the cards, but decided in the end they were rather too personal might be a distraction when reading. So I included them on the description cards.
'The Beard of Fish' is a Happy Squirrel.
The crocheted doily or sometimes lace on the bag are found items and represent Sarah Howard's time-passing ladies 'accomplishments' as she daydreams of exotic foreign lands, but also the 'Wyrd'- or web woven as she reaches, connects and touches with others on her soul path.
If there is anything else which needs some clarification. I am happy to help.
Great video Winterchild. Like me you have an accent which does not match your location. So utterly delighted you approve of Sarah Howard.

Oh I approve so much... I made the video as soon as she landed (and oh my that was the wildest day ever, my shack which has withstood 70 years of winds blew down in a 100km gale the day she arrived, so she came in with a real storm!)... after I was looking through the deck and found so many delights, and I worked out that the crochet doily was connected to how she sits and sews or passes her time and oh the concept of that woven web... you are a poet... I connected with that when I saw the very first mention of Sarah!
I am sooooo looking forward to The Blue House Gabi!!
I came to NZ from the UK 11 years ago... gotta say I am homesick... and Sarah sitting and sewing in the 'Longing' card remind me of my situation... and I also think of The lady of Shallot... both Waterhouse's painting and Tennyson's words:
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often thro' the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, came from Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead
Came two young lovers lately wed;
'I am half sick of shadows,' said
The Lady of Shalott.
Oh how I love the romance and poetry in your work... it is not easy to put yourself out there and I feel honoured that you have shared this journey with us!
