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.

the yummy fabric

remember the fabric that I bought last week? - I have started a quilt with no idea of what the finished product will be. a bit of this and a bit of that. a bit of me and a bit of who I am. here is the first step - I have ideas flowing through my head and am jotting them down like a mad woman. It is going to be a bitsy quilt but what I see in my mind's eye, I like.


this is how I start my quilts - I place different fabrics on the background and live with it for awhile, changing bits around. The piece of vintage red work, I am going to use in the quilt just like it is - I have other bits of vintage trims and embroideries that I am hoping to use as well. My quilts are decidedly different to the traditional quilts - I seem to have a quirky style. some like it, some don't. But it has worked for me for over 20 years & really reflects my personality

Miss*R,

Your quilt already looks stunning and anything with red work on it is a winner to me. I have a vintage full quilt that is just red work. so lovely!

Looks like its going to be a great quilt. There's something in the air at the moment isn't there that's causing a lot of inspiration and creativity. You're jotting down ideas, I'm jotting down ideas, a lot of people seem to be creating at the moment. xx
