Just me, in the boonies of New England. Very ADHD, often awkward, always genuine. She/Her
Here’s the tiger eye prayer beads! The main beads are faceted honey tiger eye. The decade markers are blue & brown tiger eye. The end is a Montana Agate, also faceted. I’m really loving how it came out!

I made a new set of beads today! There are 28 Fancy Jasper beads, big 10mm. Cream colored silk cord, knotted between each bead. The colors remind me of the ocean, the tides. Ebb & Flow. The end has a large faceted rondelle of Montana Agate. Reminiscent of the full moon or the frothy surf.

I woke up from a sound sleep to this gorgeous sky this morning. Thank you New England.

Full moon and a bluebird sky

Playing around with abstract shapes - early going (having the patience to let things dry so I can make it look the way I want is HARD). I’m playing around with making cards from these, but then I’m hesitant to put words over them. 😂

I listened to The Way of the Rose a while back and it resonated in a way I didn’t expect. Having made many malas, I made some rosary beads. These are not what I would call “religious” in that there’s no cross or crucifix. I also made some prayer/meditation beads. More in the comments. Thoughts?

I managed to get a six mile walk
in today, just ahead of the rain. I saw 2 rainbows (here’s the second one). I loved the light on this big white pine and the deep dark sky behind it. I brought along the little Ocean Jasper one decade rosary I made too. I love the feel of the beads in my hand.

Side quest on my four miler today… under a bridge like a happy little troll!

New goodies from the weekend trek to Norwich Bookstore! Such a welcoming vibe! Never a worry I’ll get a weird look ordering or picking out witchy books. @norwichbooks.bsky.social

Six miles. Absolutely underestimated how quickly it would get dark. It was like 50°F so didn’t want to wear my reflective jacket. Not my best move.

Errands took longer than I’d intended, but wanted a walk so went around the lake after sunset. Only 2ish miles but so pretty. I actually like walking at dusk (with reflective jacket). Lots of geese and ducks still.

I love how the light plays with shadow this time of year.
