Sryashta spins golden yarn inside which she weaves your fate. (If you are a good and kind person, she may just take matters into her own capable hands and improve it.)
She is the goddess of good fortune and serves as the household assistant of Mokosh, the Slavic earth goddess.
Sryashta is a variant of the Dolya/Nedolya myth.

Can Photoshopping Count as Crafting?
I scanned my third grade school picture. Have a gander at me when I'm the same age as the boy.
I know! The weird thing is that he only looks like me from the front--his profile is his dad's. I don't know how that's possible, but there you have it.
now, see, i think he looks more like you now. i mean, you presently. not that he doesn't look like you in 4th grade, but now -- the resemblance is almost freaky.
I just hope the poor boy ends up built like his dad instead of me. It's fine for a woman to be five-foot-one-and-three-quarters, but that's a hard thing for a guy.
If I were less charitable, I would say that I hope the only thing he inherits from his dad is his height, but I'm too nice a person for that. :-)
He can turn me into a total push-over, but that's about it as far as I can tell.
I *was* pretty cute, wasn't I? The weird thing is that I don't think I look like I've *aged* as much as I look like I ate that little girl--and everyone else in her class. I didn't get older, I got fatter. Sigh.

Lovely and joyful!
Did his Dad contribute any DNA at all? LOL

Try not to look at him sideways. Seriously, it looks like you have discovered human reproduction by budding.

Awww...And yes, photos are a craft! (and art!) and I must get some breakfast...did you look at Badger's post?
He can't, um, turn water into wine or anything, can he? Because SERIOUSLY.
You CAN be less charitable. Just repent and go to confession.
Duh.

oh, incidentally, you were ADORABLE - i just want to gobble 8-year-old-you right on up.
