How many new stitches can I teach you in one day? 🤔💃😍

At today's Basket Weaving Bliss retreat we covered blanket stitch, wrapping stitch, mariposa stitch and cobbling!

It is a lot for the brain 🤯, but I love these days because you can get a taste of several of different approaches, see what you like most, and take home a few different projects to continue on.

It's always interesting to see how different styles resonate with different people at different times.

And how beautiful is the blue basket created by Cathy using a mix of cobbling, blanket, and wrapping!! She learned these at a previous workshop and brought it in to show me. I LOVE to see it! 💙

Let go, let come ✨️

I've spent today quietly weaving in nature, and reflecting on all the beings whose stories have helped shape my year.

I am grateful for everything and everyone who has led me to who I am in this moment.

Here is my end of year intentions ritual:

✨️ What do I want to let go of? Or, if I can't quite let it go, what can I loosen my grip on, and hold less tightly? Write this down, and let it be carried away by nature (burn it, or write on a leaf and release it to a stream or the ocean.)

✨️ What do I want to let come? What do I long for, where can I be of service, what do I want to attract? Write this down, and bury it somewhere in nature. The seeds are planted.

Thank you for being here. You are woven into my story.

Did you know I have a monthly(ish) newsletter? Today is all about why I am going to try softer, not harder, in 2025...

It also has upcoming events, and a few things that have caught my eye (including a free film about a year in a forest, and 86 places where the world made progress this year!)
