a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

a little bit more


a tiny bit more progress on my *mini meltdown quilt* - I am calling it this because it is the first time I have really done any sewing since the wedding quilt, after which I am sure I had a mini meltdown. I am going to add tea cups and baskets in memory of my Nan


this is little spotty birdie - the flower he is sitting on is made from a vintage feedsack



the photo of myself that I printed out, embellished with a little bit of embroidery & a fabric cap - all inspired by ART TEA LIFE. Still not quite sure if it is 'right' for this quilt. I made some pink suffolk puffs to place along the bottom - but I am not sure if this piece will stay. It was fun experimenting though!





and here I have the other side of the flowers - a vintage doily, fussy cut to make the flower. I have a suitcase full of ripped & torn doilies that I use for this kind of thing. I look on it as a new lease of life for an old gal!
