Day 37 // Sacred Sundays

My Sundays are truly sacred because I can spend them finishing crafts and fixing things :)
So here's photos for proof!

Altar -- these are taken pre-hung curtains, so ignore the ugly brown cloth hung behind the night shot. I was trying to deflect the glow of the curtains from nosey neighbors

Grimoire -- finally finished! I've begun writing it and have purchased a watercolor pen to accent the pages

Herb Garden & Backyard Wildflowers-- their revival and then the 10$ greenhouse on the 10$ raised bed and with all the recent rain, the wildflowers exploded in the back yard so I've picked some and took pics ;P

Jewelry -- My lame attempt at making jewelry ;P

Day 21 // Bright Blessings on Beltane!

Say that 9 times fast! :P

Tonight, I took Fawn outside and taught her how to pick flowers ;) She was of course very interested in just the petals and would pluck them off one by one. I think the little nature spirits in my backyard would have found her sweet and innocent. The ladybugs wouldn't leave her alone, so I'm taking that as a sign of them liking her ;P She is an Earth baby, born Taurus on Earth day after all.. ;) Okay, so Earth day is a made up holiday, but still.

So I taught her how to pick them and get the whole buttercup flower! What a concept! lol! We gathered them up and placed them on the altar. Something's been chomping on them because several have perfectly cut out round holes in the petals ;P

I received my six essential oils from mountainroseherbs today and oh my goodness they smell so FREAKIN' good!!! The lemon and orange.. man. I'm a sucker for citrus. I also got my glass bottles from sunburst. 30 little amber 15ml bottles with reducers and 12 glass jars for dried herbs. I love glass bottles. Have I mentioned that before? Just looking at them make me happy! They're so freakishly cute!

Lastly, the plan for this weekend is to transplant my herbs finally to the outdoors. They've stopped growing. They're definitely not dead, they've just reached their peak for their little starter cells and the biodegradable container is breaking a part. So it looks like I'm going to buy some planks of wood and build a raised-bed for my herbs. The ground here is too tough and dry. Not to mention probably nutrient poor. So, I'll start in the raised bed and maybe by the time the roots get deep enough they'll have a good enough root system to adjust to the natural dust dirt.

.. meanwhile, I've made a recent addition to my "Dream House Must Haves" list and it includes a huge greenhouse lol.

Day 9 // Herbs! +Pics

I went out and picked some buttercups from my backyard! They look adorable on my altar table. For good measure, here's a shot of my overgrown backyard that I begged L2 not to mow ;P


I promised pictures of growing herbs and here are just a few! :P



These will be a moonflower vine, not technically a herb but still growing none the less! :P
