Decembers New Moon

Decembers New Moon has brought about more change
but somehow I feel so stuck.
Attempting to get my self packed
and leave this most wonderful place
I have been dwelling for
the past four years. I am not ready
for this at all and I only
have another 10 days to pull this off.

On a lighter note, Publishers Clearing House called today to verify my entry in the sweepstakes and so maybe I am getting closer to winning the dream of my life, LOL. Stampington & Company also contacted me with an interest in publishing some of my art pieces in Prims Magazine. I'm thrilled to be published in my favorite magazine amongst some of the best Primitive Artists that I so admire.  I guess all in all you just have to count the blessings and leave the negative aspects behind like dust in the wind. I am most grateful for the opportunities ahead of me now.

The December Full Moon is the day of the move and I hope that I will leave all the negativity of this year behind me now. I lovingly look forward to the New Year, 2014 with much openness to the changes ahead of me.

Many blessing to all through this Holiday Season, I regret that I will miss yet another crafting season of making & selling but everything happens for a reason right? And in that I shall not dwell. I'll be strong and move forward with new eyes to see what the future should hold for me.

Till next time. . .

October 18, 2013 next Full Moon in Aries

Our Full Moon falls on October 18th this year so it will not be a well lite Halloween night since we will be at the waning crescent at that time. All in all I am certain the festivities will still be wonderful for a the young at heart.  So make sure you buy extra glow sticks and light up your children really well.
As for me I will be working on Thanksgiving dress' to sell on ETSY and EBAY. The winter crafts for Christmas, Yule and the winter solstice are starting here at Cranesnest Primitive Hallow since I missed Halloween but I miss Halloween all year long so it will just have to be another 10 months before I get there again.
No time for crying over spilt milk if you get the pun but I am moving forward with a very positive attitude toward the changes in my life that are facing me now. Forward bound into the abyss of creativity, hopefully to never return to reality ever again.
The soap is CPOP (cold process oven process) and is Candula/Ylang Ylang with charcoal. It will be ready to use by Halloween, I can't wait to bathe in it. So I've been busy getting ready to bring in possibly the best year of my life since I can not remember when
Thanks for all your support through this time I certainly appreciate all your thoughts, prayers and healing energies that you've sent my way.
until next time
many blessings and Happy Hallows Eve

December is closing fast. . .

December is here and the selling season for Ebay is nearly at it's seasonal end.
The Yule tree has been decorated for the celebration, as the wheel of the year turns and the solstice will soon begin.

This month always brings me to the shutting down of my creative persecutes with anticipation of the "New Year, New Start" mentality as it seems. And as I sit back with a book in my comfy chair, tending the fire that burns in the fireplace, watching flames dance, as if in their own sort of celebration, across the logs, I dream of the many things I drew out in my tablet but never had time to either finish or start to create, I am always reminded of how time flies past when you are forced to sell yourself for an hourly wage to keep above the fast moving waters that rush our lives along.

Pretty soon I will endure, yet another birthday and I really have to wonder where this river of motion is taking me. I enjoy my life and the ability I have to not only be successful in my work but to create my primitive artistry which supplements my income, or at least pays for all the junk I purchase to afford to craft my days away. And then I have to wonder. . . What! Is the question? As I look back through my picture albums of the things spirit has guided me to create, I am filled with a child like wonder...it's one of gratitude and unconditional love for the forces that push me along this path, being ever so grateful for sooo many wonderful things in my life. I soulfully appreciate every healthy day I spend, mindlessly crafting, staying in the present and loving the gifts of this life.

So as I anticipate another year of learning, growing and expressing myself through my primitive artistry my heart swells with the excitement and wonder to see what gifts are laid before me in the year come. I'll look forward to it and start my planning with great pleasure as this will be one spectacular year indeed. 2012!!! WOW!!!

Thanksgiving is Almost Sold Out, Here comes Santa

I have to say it has been a most interesting journey of late. With the full moon and 11-11-11 transforming the energies of the planet and everyone on it.
Just when you thought you knew what was down the road, oops, one more flat tire. That's what my life has been like the past couple of weeks. No Wait, I'm not saying it's a bad thing as I am well versed in the fact that change is good and that everything happens for a reason. It's just when it all happens at once that you really must stop and take into account, "What have I been thinking?"  When you start to look around you and none of the faces of the people you have grown to love and trust, have all of a sudden changed and you start to see them in their true light. It's not a pretty picture when you find yourself surrounded by thieves and lairs, people who have done they're best to take advantage of you when you thought you had nothing left to take. It makes you start to believe in shape shifting.
I'm keeping my head up and moving forward and with each and every minuet I will find the love and happiness that I truly have spent my life earning. As I move away from the past that does not serve me into a heightened awareness of being I know that at the end of the day I will have learned at least 3 new things and even considered 7 Impossible things before breakfast. As I continue down this road, finding new things to learn, people to love and some wonderful art work that spirit has been hiding from me, I plan to create it all over again. I know better than that. I create from spirit and I'm always grateful for the beautiful gifts I receive (even if they do turn out to be a joke). 

Enough of the tangent. . .just know that thoughts do become things, so always think the very best ones. It will be your life in the next instant. Merry Holidays. . . a toast to the best year any primitive artist can have. Success to us all. . .blessed be!

Merry Full Moon Fellow Moon Babies

Oh my, the moon is so full tonight and the old barn owl is just hootin away out there. As the shadows fall on the lightened earth across the plowed fields behind the house, the light of the moon is so illuminating tonight. Even though the Full Moon is not until 11-10 it is like someone tuned on the lights out there. My living room is illuminated with the moon light as it flows like magic from the sky lites and I just can not keep my eyes off of it. How magnificent it is! 
Nearly Thanksgiving, just around the next turn as the turkeys arrived today and the sewing of dresses and pumpkins will end.
Soon we will move into the solstice of the year as the snow begins to cover the ground and the stillness of winter arrives. I am hoping that it will not come too early as there is still much to do as the Yule Christmas season quickly approaches. The wood is stacked on the deck and I'm getting ready to batten down the hatches as the winds begins to pick up. Brrr, it's really quite brisk already this year. I went to Lake Geneva last Sunday for one last fall visit, the stores are all decked out for the Christmas shoppers and the holidays are beginning to take over the marketplaces. As for me I'm making snowmen and Santa's and participating in the festivities myself. Sales have been good on ebay this year and soon I will look forward to starting the cycle all over again.
Enough rambling for now, enjoy the full moon and remember to bring closure and healing into your life at this time. . .11-11 will be an open portal so remember to think only good thoughts and stay happy in the moment as manifestations will come very fast, enjoy. . .
