Hey friends, Hope you're all doing well this winter and wishing you a very blessed New Year! Here in Nova Scotia, we are experiencing a snowless winter.

Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia Blessed Bealtaine Eve to you! April has come and gone. A whole year has passed since we packed up our old farmhouse on PEI and crossed the bridge to create a life in Nova Scotia. One whole year! I can hardly believe that we've traversed a cycle. It has been so full … Continue reading April Tidings / Bealtaine Eve
Blessed Vernal / Autumnal Equinox dear internet friends, It was a beautiful day here in Nova Scotia. We woke to heavy mist and thoughts of rain. The rain came down so heavy last night that even nestled in the basement, you could hear it's heavy downfall. I love the rain especially this time of year. … Continue reading Woodwork, Seedlings and Vernal Equinox
Merry Meet! The branches around our home are bare. I'm sitting on a sheepskin on the floor before the fireplace, my computer propped up on the painted brick. All of our candles have found a home inside of our fireplace since we have to have repairs before we can use it. So for this winter, … Continue reading Ways of Wood Folk Knits

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
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!! 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
"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.
