I simultaneously love and have a difficult time with fiber arts. Last Imbloc I was in Ireland, but sadly very late to the Brigid's Cross workshop I attended. I gave it another try. No reeds in this desert, so I used man-made materials. Pleased with the results & have the hang of it now.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

This is an actual Irish blessing, with the source cited. So many people call things Irish or Celtic without finding a source for them. It's gorgeous too. 😍

May you be the choice of a king.
May you be beautiful as wheat.
May you be a bough with wine.

I love harvest time & autumn. But Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. I try to read Chap. 2 of 1491 annually. The conventional Thanksgiving story obscures the impact of European arrival in New England. Squanto's name was Tisquantum. Thank you @charlescmann.bsky.social for this crucial book
