After the dazzling display of leaves throughout the month of October, I always welcome the more subtle beauty of this grey and gold month. The wild blueberry fields are blazing with red, the tamarack trees (or larch) a brilliant orange/yellow. As you walk under them, the needles gently fall among your feet. Our walks have … Continue reading Foxtail Icelandic Fingerless Mittens: A Woodfolk Pattern
Hello Dear ones! It has been a long, long while since I last wrote. I hope everyone has been well and coping with what life has before them. This has been by far the longest time I've spent away. I apologize if I caused concern - we are all doing fine. The frustration, grief and … Continue reading Intermission
Welcome Fae Folk, The fog is rising in the fields. We have just had a week or 2 of unseasonably hot weather. This morning, it's a little cooler so I'm wearing an old camping sweater, sipping some tea with a beeswax candle lit. The mosquitoes are just beginning to emerge from wherever they come from, … Continue reading Blue Jays and Fairy Doorways
Greetings Friends! Today, it's drizzling with a cold North-West wind. The rain is pelting down, so I'm sitting with the fire, a cat sprawled on his back and a sleepy pup. Although it's May, I'm content to be by the fire while the rain transforms our brown and barren landscape. We should really celebrate … Continue reading Flower Moon
Oh dear friends, I hope you are well! Our reality has been shattered over the course of the past month. A reality that so many of us had been living as if drifting through a dream. Glued to smart phones, taking simple liberties for granted. Now in the face of a pandemic, what really matters … Continue reading Quarantine Moon 🌕
Good afternoon Earthly creatures! I hope we are all well on this elusive February 29th! It's overcast on the island, the thick blanket of snow is coated in ice, making walking a treacherous endeavour. The days are growing so much longer and I am over joyed with the thought of moss beginning to … Continue reading Leap Year
Salutations Fae Folk! How are you! The moon cycle will start anew in only a few days and as I look back over this past cycle, I can honestly say that I have no idea how it escaped me. Slipped right through my ever moving fingers. Every New Moon, I make a to do list … Continue reading Woodland Stash Mittens and Winter Reflections
Hello My Full Moon snowy friends!! How are you all! It's a beautiful sunny day here in beautiful Prince Edward Island. Or, I could describe it as a frozen fortress. Everything is encased in ice after the storm we had this weekend. It's a sparkling land of rolling hills glittering in the elusive sun and … Continue reading Snow Moon, Embroidery, Natural Remedies
Greetings Earthlings! Ah Sunday.... It's pouring rain here at the moment. I'm sitting cross legged on a sheep skin by the fire. Henry is soaking wet and curled up beside me. In fact, I'm also soaking and have even stripped my leggings to just have my bare legs by the flames. This morning, Jamie … Continue reading Lunar Year
Hello!! From a very snow blown island. The west facing side of our house is freezing cold and of course that's where I find myself. My small little work room is probably the coldest room in our house, with huge gaps between the old wooden floor boards and a large window facing the westerly … Continue reading Canadiana Toque and Snow Fall Warnings
