Crescent Moon

There's nothing more celestially magical than a clear night with a beautiful crescent moon, either waxing or waning.


I incorporate the crescent into so much of my arts and crafts.

I also love the old paper moon photos that were popular in the 30's (besides it being my fave movie).

Maybe I just love working in dark blue and yellow?




Crescents are even incorporated into my Christmas decorations and needlework!


I am almost tempted to add Dubai, UAE, to my bucket list, just so I can see the Crescent Moon Tower.  I didn't even think this was a real place till I did further research!

  5. If you were an opera lover, I'd recommend Janacek's Adventures of Mr Broucek - he gets drunk and dreams adventures, including a trip to the moon. It has the memorable line from the chorus in the English translation, "Mr Broucek, your sausages"!

  6. How have I never seen that building?! I do love a crescent moon. It always makes me think of the Cheshire Cat, like there's mischief afoot.

  10. I had the pleasure of viewing the moon through an astronomer's telescope last week. It was so neat to see the actual craters right in front of my eyes.
    Stopping in via the A-Z blogging challenge. ;)

  12. Hey there, found you via the A to Z challenge. Great C post. Loving all of the crescent moons. Your cross stitch is very nice as are all of your crafts. What I find breath taking though, is the the photo on top of your blog.
