Palate cleanse after ripping out twenty rows of color work on my ixchel sweater. I'm planning on turning this sky wave shawl into a veritable blanket shawl for cool summer evenings around bonfires.

I only have two colors left in my personal holiday

I only have two colors left in my personal holiday spin on my #woodlandwoodworking spindles! I've been daydreaming of the color work I can do with this plant dyed fiber--waxing poetic about maybe a new toque.

Zero surprises.

We all knew amerikkka is a white supremacist state.

Enablers are literal pieces of shit.

Bite me.

The house feels strangely empty today.

I came here with my life in 2 suit cases and my dog.

Yesterday tankie passed. It feels very surreal after having her as a constant for the last decade of my life.

It was not easy or peaceful, she fought sedation until the end. Everything feels numb and yet raw. It'll pass. I am familiar enough with grief that it comes in surges.

The weather is blustery and wild on this first day

The weather is blustery and wild on this first day of the year--we slept with the windows cracked to shift the energy in the house, it felt poetic to listen to the crash of the waves and the wind and rain.

Flowing with the energy, trusting the process--hoping to fill the rest of the spots for January today.

The artist smock is also an option and will be added to the website, just need some cooperative weather to photograph it.

Blessings!

I'm exhausted. life since march has been a constant struggle. And I'm saying that because it needs to be acknowledged in his story. Honestly though I feel like I've been running on this treadmill since may 2019, with a short break dec-feb last year and then threw us back on it cranked to 11 in march.

Looking back on it and where we are now I see a tremendous amount of forced growth; in unlearning toxic self sufficiency, protecting rest time (struggling the most with!) And learning and believing that we are worthy of care.

I've always been hmmm about this season, when I was young I was confused about all that work just for one 24 hour period. Exactly where does the magic begin and end. As I age, and I am now responsible for the rituals of the season--particularly this year where we are isolating, not visiting family or going to parties--the holiday is about deep rest for us. The first day yes, a bit frenzied, but now on the 2nd day we are all in our robes quiet, having a lie in -breathing deep.

Taking the full 12 days of jul to rest and recharge the creative batteries, spin, knit, read, sleep, dream about the spring gardens.

Peace and rest to you.

There's a photo of my mom and I snuggled under this very blanket reading this same book 30 years ago. I needed this photo to mark a passage of time.

This year more than others i suppose I feel the truth of ritual around this time of year.

Quiet celebration with our bubble, wishing all of you and your bubbles a restful holiday.

It's been a minute since I've been able to take out my spindles and spin. This morning I set up a wee table with my ornaments at the local winter market and was able to load up this cutie pie owl phang by @woodlandwoodworking

Why yes it is pissing down rain out there and I've been out 3x's since 7.30 checking on the new hens and their quarantine situation.

Obviously one needs coffee in the bubble bath for these types of days.

Wow. I came into this workshop over confident having woven a few baskets in my time. But willow-- a bit different-- bendy but finding the spring in each branch and working it. Day one done. Day two tomorrow.
