S P R I N G 🌿 Rejoice, rejoice! It's cold outside with a north wind. I'm sitting on a cushion on the floor while the animals sprawl out on the couch. I felt like just doing a quick post, to share a few pictures of our last weekend of winter. Despite the cold and the wind, … Continue reading Last of Winter
Goodmorning Earthlings! This March morning, the sun is shining and the birds are singing in the trees! I went out to feed the chickens in my pajamas and a touque, trusting that the bright sun would warm me despite the dusting of snow on the ground. It was glorious and I can't wait to get … Continue reading Carving Botanical Stamps
N O S T A L G I A Since I was a little girl, nothing seemed so appealing to me than living deep in the woods, immersed with the plants, the cycle of the moon, the animals. The dirt swept clean with my broom and the leaves entangled in my hair. I wanted to … Continue reading Making Magical Tinctures ☽ 🌕 ☾
M A K I N G A L O P A P E Y S A March! Oh March! The month I feel the most conflicted over. Here on the East Coast, it is a time balanced between spring and winter with winter as her favourite. This winter has been inconsistent - a constant … Continue reading Knitting a Folkloric Lopapeysa
This past holiday weekend, Meaghan, Reg, Jamie, Henry and I drove up to Cape Breton Island to stay in a cabin. It has been a dream of mine to see the Cabot Trail in the snow but have always thought it not practical because of the unpredictable nature of the weather at this time … Continue reading Winter in Cape Breton

And then there are winter storm mornings that stay for days and nights. There is something about blizzards and winter storms … Continue reading Blizzard & Knitting Progress

I often think about the people of the past, how incredibly impressive and important symbols in the sky would have been for them. Right now, I am warm and … Continue reading Winter Mornings ☽ 🌕 ☾
Hello Earthlings! It is SO cold here on the Island. With the wind chill, it is -29 C! I'm currently sitting in the studio with the wind raging against this West facing (drafty) window. I'm wearing an angora rabbit wool sweater I found at the thrift store with a sheep's wool over that. On the … Continue reading Preparing Knits for Etsy
J A N U A R Y This month was strange in a sense. I feel like the whole world is in chaos and I am merely turned to the fringes - looking to the stars, the moon and the earth. Withdrawing further and further. I've always felt that the best form of protest … Continue reading January
Although, we didn't even visit the sea. At the highest point of our walk up the hill, you can see the Bay. Along the drive, you follow the strait East. At my family's home, you are so close to the Atlantic Ocean, the sea birds fly overhead and you can smell the salt in the … Continue reading Yuletide by the sea
