Oh September, the Romance begins

Every September the romance begins. . .
It's when my heart starts to sing in it's orchestrated fashion as the nights become cool and leaves begin to turn color. Here in the Midwest it is a welcome change from the heat of summer. It's when the Renaissance faire has ended and that in itself is a sweet sorrow. The parting of old friends as they travel to other places or back home for the winter months. The farms around me are getting ready for the harvest and as the fall equinox comes around it starts the festivities of our farming community.
Oh to dwell in such a wonderful place, I am filled with gratitude everyday for the wonder of this life and all the beauty around me.
This is also when I am working hardest at creating my primitive art for the fall and All Hallows Eve celebrations. I love Halloween Art. It makes me so happy to contribute to the vast supply of  pumpkin keep sakes and dolls as collectible treasure's for years to come.
I added a Paypal, Buy it Now button to my blog today and posted pictures of my two newest creations.

This is Valerina, she is 13" tall and her walking stick is 16", she sits on a rusty bed spring. She is quite the little Harvest Thyme princess
Priscilla is 18" tall to the tip of her witch hat and stands on an old vintage bee hive bobbin, a little Steam Punkish of sorts in her grungy overcoat and a key lapel pin, they sell for $33.99 and can be purchased right here from my blog. The drop down list allows you to pick either Primitive Halloween doll.

And talk about abundance,
I own such a huge collection of Halloween Deco that I am setting my living room up as a retail store and will host a Halloween Estate Sale this year in an attempt to lessen the load that I carry and store year after year. This is a time of clearing for me. To be able to move forward with less to move around and fill the garage with totes. I was truly amazed at the fact that none of the 26 totes that are filled with Halloween stuff where desecrated by mice or spiders. Talk about being blessed and watched over. Since I dwell in the woods at the tip of a farmers field. As I was sitting in my craft room, sewing tiny mice for the witch shoes last night, I could hear the little buggers running and playing in the ceiling above me as the farmers just cleared the last of the wheat from the fields this last week. Which creates yet another task, set before me for the season.

All in all it's a wonderful time of year and one that fills me with peace and contentment as I work and craft the hours away. . .
Enjoy the season  to it's fullest and take the time to enjoy your life. . .
 

Full Moon in Capricorn

So, here we are half way through the summer of 2013 and Mercury finally went direct yesterday. I could feel the pulling of the forward motion and started sewing and drawing and sorting the things I will need to start creating wares for my most favorite time of year. The Fall Equinox, and All Hallows Eve. As the little fae & witches dance through my psyche I become enthralled in joy & laughter as the ritual of craft becomes me. Oh how I love to create. . . The Witches Wardrobe has been part of me since I started in primitive artistry, the Halloween Enchanted pumpkins, little fae of Witch Upon a Star whom dance upon their rusty bed springs, the Halloween can-dles, witch moons on textile bobbins.. I'll be doing some beeswax works this year as well. Then their are a version of my French bed dolls all dressed up in witchery dragg and named the Witchman family. For craft fairs I do Witchy Froggettes, Mice all dressed up in witches clothing and this year I am going to try to get to Witchy Bunne' Haunted Spell books are a real love of mine and I have some new glass eyes to use on them.
So if you are a Halloween lover stay tuned for the array of things I create and sell on both ebay and my etsy shop. I am featuring Flight Soap this year so watch for this magnificent concoction to release the issues of Halloween Night Flight, pain relieving soaps. Oh what fun. . . ♥
I can't wait to post my final work for everyone to enjoy. I will also put it on Pinterest as well. . . so watch out for the gouls of plenty, Oh what fun ♥ ♥ ♥

many blessings to each and everyone. . . remember to stay in the moment and think only good thoughts for this is the year of living in joy. . .

Junes Super Full Moon follows the Summer Solstice 2013

Welcome again to my blog. . .
As the months fly by June is in full swing and the Summer Solstice is just around the bend. As the weather starts to heat up the activities become  a little more than difficult for me as heat is not my best friend these days. We have had a easy spring as far as weather goes but now the thunder storms and rains have brought much discomfort to the northern mid west states.  Thunder storms leave high humidity in the forests and it becomes a steam bath of sorts. We have had a most pleasant northern breeze which brings a moist coolness to the shade so it's not at it's hottest temperatures as of yet. One thing it does bring is the Summer Solstice on June 21st and the Super Full Moon there after on June 22-23rd.

The Full moon falls on June 23, 2013 at 11:32 UTC (6:32 a.m. CDT in the U.S.). Thus, for many, the moon appears about as full in the June 22 evening sky as it does on the evening of June 23. This full moon is not only the closest and largest full moon of the year. It also presents the moon’s closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. The moon will not be so close again until August, 2014

Astronomers call this sort of close full moon a perigee full moon. The word perigee describes the moon’s closest point to Earth for a given month. Two years ago, when the closest and largest full moon fell on March 19, 2011, many used a term we’d never heard before: supermoon. Last year, we heard this term again to describe the year’s closest full moon on May 6, 2012. Now the term supermoon is being used a lot. Last month’s full moon – May 24-25, 2013 – was also a supermoon. But the June full moon is even more super! In other words, the time of full moon falls even closer to the time of perigee, the moon’s closest point to Earth. The crest of the moon’s full phase in June 2013, and perigee, fall within an hour of each other.

This is a time of year to set your intentions of the things you want to pass and bring in the newness of your desires. I have started on a old/new as well. I have been joining Jennifer Hoffman in Raising our Vibes with 21 days of Vibrational Transformation and I also started a new program with Burt Goldman in Quantum Jumping II. I'm am getting huge results from both programs and well on my way for setting new goals in my life. This is my year to move forward and become the best that I can be in all areas of my life. Now if I could figure out what I want to be when I grow up, it would all be great. I know I'll get there. . . and I'll keep you informed as well. . .
In the mean time my work as a restaurant manager and primitive artist keep me busy making, inventing, using my creativity to share wonderful things with you so I hope you
have a most wonderful day and enjoy the solstice and supermoon,
till next time

Energies of April

Wow, the April Energy is full speed ahead since Mercury has started it's forward motion and out from under the shadow. Time moves so vary fast these days and it doesn't look like it's going to slow down again for some time to come. This forward shift coupled with the New Moon is placing us right in the middle of the manifestations we created in the not so far past. I've been moving ahead with a chakra clearing class which deals with soul contracts and soul wounds. This type of clearing releases karma from all directions time and sets everyone concerned, free to move ahead. It's soulfully pleasing. I've heard from a few people from the past in the last two weeks. It's interesting that they should pop up now while I am clearing those old contracts. It has truly been a wonderful experience thus far and I look forward to the last class Tuesday night, which should complete the issues of the past allowing me to move forward on a fresh and clean pallett'. I will start painting a new picture for myself and those closest to me.
In the mean time I am sewing a crib quilt for my new grand baby, Zoey, she will arrive in mid May and I'm also working on some soap, beeswax ornies, making of silicone molds, wood dough bowl racks, cupboard cakes and sugar molds. schewww, no wonder time is moving so fast. My imagination runs wild this time of year and creativity flows constantly. Besides the daily grind of work there is much to complete and accomplish before the Renaissance Faire begins in July.
Have you seen the Fae running about? Oh my, they are everywhere, scurrying around, so remember to feed them some milk and honey. It's their favorite and they will watch over your dwelling while you are away if you are good to them. LOL
Have a most pleasant spring. . . until next time
