that obligatory autumn post !

oh i've missed coming here - life has been busy and full and really busy! i always forget about my blog in the midst of all the crazy. but here i am! just back from bali and still floating on the high from sharing such a magical week there with amazing women from around the world. re-entry has been easier this time due to the fact that it is not winter! autumn is my favourite time of year here, it is so homey and lovely. we have had a teenage girl living with us for the past few months from perth, here on a sort-of exchange...i have known her since she was a baby and it has been really fun showing her all around and seeing her experience all the funny american things (a squirrel! look at the size of this pizza!) for the first time. i'm feeling inspired creatively in so many ways and have been loving my studio space to spread out in and start preparing for all the holiday craft fairs i have coming up in the next few months...making things makes me happy! and i am determined to learn how to knit a hat this winter. the air is getting crisp and cool and i do get a bit scared of what is coming weather-wise...but for now we are still enjoying sunny days and bare feet on occasion! if you have seen the recent issue of taproot magazine *MEND*, you may have spotted my 'put a patch on it' article - i was honred and excited to contribute for the first tiem to such a beautiful publication. i have been a subscriber from the beginning and it is a beautiful independant magazine that my whole family enjoys - ivy got inspired by katrina rodabaugh's mendfullness article and did the above to her jeans (love!)sending you lots of love today, i'm hoping to be back here more reguarly as the months get colder and force me indoors xo

in our element ~ november 7-9

cape cod, ma

nov 7-9 ~ holiday style !

a weekend to enjoy earth, wind, water and fire...to gather as a group and breathe in, create, relax and restore.

this cozy weekend will be full of crafting projects that will be perfect for holiday gift-giving, walks on the beach, morning yoga, nature mandalas, delicious healthful meals, massage, good conversation by the fire and new friendships.

faith and i are looking forward to hosting another gathering in this beautiful part of the cape. gorgeous gardens, walks and cottages are sure to inspire while you are outside...and then there is the inspiration explosion that will happen inside! along with some addictive handwork projects to do while relaxing by the fire (bead bar, yarn + twig happiness) we will offer 4 separate workshops - diving into different mediums each time to make your heart explode with creativity and resulting in some really cool projects that you can keep for yourself or give as gifts.

garlands, ornaments, cowls, wristwarmers, painting, sewing, snipping, beading, wall decor are all part of the plan...

sarah davidson from white swan yoga will be joining us to offer yummy morning yoga and meditation to those who wish to stretch before the day begins, and we will also have an exlusive and abundant pop-up sale for holiday shopping!

we can't wait to be there! cost ~
