Snow Moon, Embroidery, Natural Remedies

February 9, 2020February 9, 2020 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 9 Comments

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

Lunar Year

January 26, 2020January 26, 2020 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 8 Comments

  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

Canadiana Toque and Snow Fall Warnings

January 20, 2020January 20, 2020 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 12 Comments

  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

January’s Beginning

January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 5 Comments

"Come, ye cold winds, at January's call, On whistling wings, and with white flakes bestrew The earth." -  John Ruskin   January! One of my beloved months.  For its stillness, thick blankets of snow, snow storms, crystal clear night skies and lengthening days.  January exists in my memory as a dream, shrouded in a haze once … Continue reading January’s Beginning

Decade’s End

December 29, 2019December 29, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 8 Comments

Hello Friends! The year’s end!  A new decade stands before us.  I am so excited to start afresh – I really have always felt a symbolic restart with each new year.  I devote some time to making a big cup of herbal tea, sitting with my journal and tarot cards in order to both reflect … Continue reading Decade’s End

Winter Solstice in the East of Canada

December 22, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 5 Comments

The word Solstice comes from the Latin solstitium, which translates roughly into "still sun."   On December 21st/22nd the sun reaches it's lowest point in our sky and marks the shortest day of the year and the longest night.  For approximately 3 days the sun seems to "stand still" in our sky, after which it rises a … Continue reading Winter Solstice in the East of Canada

Léttlopi BlackBerry Mittens

Beautiful Sunday to you! The wind and rain is relentless out there today!  This wooden house is occasionally shaken with such force by the driving wind off the Atlantic.  All of the snow and ice is gone, replaced by a fog that looks like steam curling and rising from the earth and waterways.   I'll be … Continue reading Léttlopi BlackBerry Mittens

Hiya! Hope all is well and happy in your realm Fae-folk and Creatives!  If you're feeling down, that things will turn around soon. It's been a messy Fall and a mid-January kind of December.  One of those, I blinked and it's almost gone kind of times.  On the cusp of new ideas and new promise … Continue reading Blackberry Mittens & Mid Winter

October 27, 2019October 27, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 15 Comments

Good Sunday Afternoon to you all! The leaves are almost gone!  Bare limbs flirt with the cold air and I am left feeling the anticipation for long nights feeding the hissing fire, a mountain of old paperbacks to be devoured and knitting projects upon projects.  Let's see how many of my old designs I can … Continue reading Flora Cowl Pattern & Fall Knits

Forage and Forest

October 6, 2019 ~ finfolkandoak ~ 27 Comments

" I'm so glad that I live in a world where there are Octobers."  Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, 1908. Sometimes I feel so honoured and lucky that I live on the island that inspired L.M.  Montgomery.  Reading through her journals, she is the essence of Anne: highly spirited, optimistic, in love with nature … Continue reading Forage and Forest

A small update in the shop with this brown pair of fingerless mittens ❄️ I have been using up little leftover bits of Lopi wool to make these for the shop (hence why there are so many colours in 1 pair) and have had so much fun seeing my stash dwindle away ☺️ I hope you like them and wishing you a lovely weekend!
Thank you so much for your kind words about Merlin ❤️
