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.

my green cardi


I finally found a cardi that I liked * not vintage though * it was quite inexpensive which was good, as this is an experiment. I also tend to be one who gets a tad tired of the same clothes so I like to buy cheaper ranges rather than 'designer wear' * so here is a little preview of the cardi and my ideas:

I love cardis, wear them all fall and winter...but truly haven't embellished one in years. I think YOU are inpsiring ME! I used to find the coolest vintage cardis for barely anything...now they are selling for outrageous prices and since I am not the size I used to be....well,the vintage ones don't fit like they used to. alas!

What fun! I haven't embellished any clothing for so long. Maybe I'll have to do some again. Can't wait to see the finished cardi.

It's always fun to change a look with buttons, etc. And the skirt sounds lovely. Enjoy your project!
