Two months ago (or was it 3 months?), I compiled some photographs with the intention of sharing with you how I block my knitting (inspired by Ana, thank you Ana!). After I complete every single project, whether it's mittens, socks or a sweater, I both wash and block the garment. This is a very therapeutic … Continue reading Washing & Blocking Knits : Made Simple
Blessed Spring 2019 Fae Friends! I hope you're all very well this April! Spring... just the word is so full of life! Growth and renewal. Of course, here on the Island during the second week of April we wake to a blanket of snow. By mid afternoon, I'm sure it will have melted away into … Continue reading Little April Update
Good Super moon to you! Our house was illuminated all through the night. A brilliant silver light reflecting off the ice covered fields. Winter full moons are beautiful, they harbour hope and well being. You could walk in the woods and not lose your way. Everything on PEI is covered in ice. Jamie and I … Continue reading Icy Fields under a Super Moon
Good Sunday evening! I hope everyone has been well and looking forward to the lengthening days, the shortest month. Imbolc is at our doorstep and of course, here it will not feel like spring until March (or April.. or May... ho hum!).

This morning, I woke to see the silver dollar moon lowering herself in the far North/West … Continue reading Floral Fair Socks ^ . ^
Good evening! Another January like day here in the Maritimes. The fields have been humming with snow mobiles so we have been walking on nicely compact paths :). The past 2 weeks have been very busy for us here, but now I have a full week to dedicate to making and I couldn't be more … Continue reading Draw & Knit
Goodmorning Faye Friends! Oh my, it is WINDY here! We had a lot of snow last night and today we are being battered with very high winds and freezing temperatures. The cold driving air is coming right up the cracks of the old wood floors and every once in a while you hear a high … Continue reading Cabin Retreat in Cape Breton Island
Well Hello! It is so nice to reach out to you again! I hope your Autumn has been lovely and not so windy and rainy as it has been in the Maritime provinces. I feel as though it has been an age since I last wrote, since I took the time to sit at a … Continue reading Samhain : Reflection, Rest and Rejuvenation
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. (Excerpt from Longfellow's The Rainy Day) A nesting day. I am happy because I have … Continue reading Very Rainy Day
