Hello, all!
Today's the day, of course, that my column runs at The Pagan Household. Today it's on Kitchen Basics, the first in a series, actually. Go check it out!
I picked a funny week to get back into the blog. Next week will have more actual posts, I promise!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Goddess Bless,

Craft Magick
No, I'm not talking about the craft, just crafts!
When we take the time to make things, whether with our kids or by ourselves, do we realize what we are putting into it? The very act of creation is sacred to so many Gods and Goddesses, and I think we oftentimes fail to see that we create things ourselves every day.
When we create something, it embodies us. It is us, for that time. Macaroni art with the kids or crocheting a scarf for a Yule gift, for that time that we are focused on creation we know some small part of what the Gods and Goddesses that shaped our lives and world were feeling. The utter joy of creating something with our own hands.
I think we could all take it a step further, though. For me, at least, when I crochet I can do it mindlessly. I've been doing it for so many years now that I don't have to think at all when doing my most common stitches. When I make things for a reason though...for a gift, or for my Etsy store, I concentrate much more. And more than concentration, I put joy, happiness and hope into each item I make. When someone holds or uses something that I've created, I want them to feel uplifted.
When you create something, what feelings do you put into it?

Time off is over!
Hello, all! Nice to see everyone again. Over the last week, I've been making some new things for my Etsy store, as well as just relaxing a dealing with the aftermath of crazy neighbors.
In regards to the neighbors, we got a phone call to tell us that the neighbors have indeed been charged, and ticketed, so that was fabulous. It's been a wonderful week and a half of quiet. I never really realized how nice quiet is.
Thanks to all the wonderful new followers who have found me over the past week, not quite sure how that happened but I'm glad of it! I can't wait to have more people commenting, I love reading all of your comments!
So, I'll begin regular posting again tomorrow. I will still be taking weekends off, though. Over the last week I had a guest post up over at Rainy of the Dark that I don't even remember when I wrote! So check that one out, it's one of my favorites.
Hope you all had a great week and a half? And have a great day!
