Mama Said there'd be Days Like This...

...there’d be days like this my mama said.
 
There is so much happening in my little corner of the world even I can barely keep up! 

~ i have a brand new website I am really proud of and from now on   i will be blogging from there!

~ i’ve just returned from another week retreat in Big Sur at   Esalen  with my soul sisters.

~ i am getting ready to return to Pickathon for the  6th year of   the best live music in the PNW. 

~ i am finalizing plans for our friends, The Joy Mills Band, to     play our backyard stage August 31st.
  {details and ticket purchase info on my website soon.}

  September 6-8.  {tickets and info here.}  

~ i am planning the seattle area screening of Indie Kindred, a     film by my friend Jen Lee, Monday
  September 9. {location tbd… details coming soon!}

~ i am finalizing plans for my pilgrimage to the UK with a group   of wild witchy priestesses in October.

~ and I am beginning to plan our 3 week family winter trip,         likely back to Mexico for surfing and sun,over the holidays and   my birthday

life is full, big, and beautiful…ripe and bursting as might be expected of the season.  

i have so many privileges and so much support in this life i live.  i am lucky and alive.  it’s all good.  so so good.    the only exception might be that my hormones are being a total asshole.  but that’s a whole ‘nother post entirely. and it just may be that that has something to teach me too, wouldn’t you think?!

so bare with me friends as I am in planning mode and vacation mode in these long languid days of summer.  I have many new projects, collaborations, diys, events and offerings in the works but all need time to marinate and simmer to come into full fruition. 

from here on out you can find all the info you need pertaining to Smashing Rubbish and my work over on my new site:


thank you for sticking around and coming along for the adventure.  you are cherished. 

ever feral, ambrosial, strange,

Get Up Stand Up Headdress

so i made a series of headdresses.
it was a make-to-mend project.
and an accessory-as-medicine project.



and i created a sweet little DIY for these beauties.
you can get in the Spring issue of Amulet.



so bounce over to Amulet and Make-to-Mend a 
Get Up Stand Up Headdress.
keep this in mind...





how does using our hands in self-expressive adornment heal us?
can we draw down or root up healing by imploring our hands to follow our heart in embellishment?
will mindfully fabricating a hand worked narrative alleviate some of our suffering from old wounds?




expand. release. heal. 
awake. rise. vision.
