This morning under the cool, grey morning skies, I had coffee in the forest behind my house. How magical it is to walk just outside my door and to be surrounded with so much wisdom and love. I love trees. Truly, I do.

I also started making lists again to accomplish things each day. I just have so much to do without them I feel overwhelmed and HOLY WOW! I think I accomplished a mountain today and feel so good about it. so yah, take it from me… lists are good.
I also updated the shop with a few items… I have so many things I am working on and once the studio opens, I can’t wait to start experimenting… Fire. I tell you. I. Am. On. Fire.

There are still a few mobiles that I didn’t put up yet….

So I was so hesitant to share because I wanted it to be a surprise, but Sally is going to the vet again this week and the bills keep piling, so I want to bring some excitement to the table for her fundraiser. I am going to a screen printer tomorrow to talk about getting shirts printed. I can only start with small batches of 12, just tapped out financially at the moment. So just doing what we can! But, do you not love this more than anything. I can’t believe what amazing friends I have. So if you are ever in Asheville and need a tattoo -go see Tiffany at Freaks n Geeks or better yet, go tell her how awesome she is for helping Sally. I am getting them printed on awesome soft shirts – they are going to look freaking amazing!!

So WHO WANTS ONE???

offering

by canyon critter on February 8, 2013

An offering for tonight

It has been a very intense week. I started a cleanse, failed the cleanse and tried to start again and then ended up editing the cleanse to fit what my body can handle at this time. My class has had my head spinning – in a good but but very challenging way. Questions that make you think beyond the present. So I have been sitting with some spider medicine- weaving my web of thoughts and goals. Last night my apothecary class came together for a ceremony – to release and burn, to bury what does not serve. This was my offering last night. I sat under the stars and moon and sent love to my clan and gave an offering of sage, lavender and rose petals.

Spider medicine
Animal totem tree #lehowl

So yah. Big changes this week – some I am not ready to share yet. Just know I took a leap this week, spread my wings and I am having faith that the wind will catch me and the universe will provide. Life is an adventure, right!?

So… many new things coming to the shop (necklaces, rings, mobiles, animal totem trees!!) I would like to say they will all be in the shop over the weekend, but that just won’t happen. I can only work so fast, but I will try to update every few days 😉

I am also having a  25% off sale starting today Feb 7-11.  Conrad and Sally needs vet care. uh! oh! Plus it is Valentine’s Day this week ♥ Anyone want to send me chocolate?

Ps. I will edit the studio opening shots this weekend and share. It is such a beautiful space, now I just need to get over there and work!

Tuesday Teaser

by canyon critter on January 30, 2013

tuesday night

I am sitting here drinking chamomile/valerian tea listening to the wind whip and howl the trees around me. It sounds maddening. Truly, I would rather be out with my friends, sipping on an Old Fashioned and listening to some music, but my schedule says no… not now. I have deadlines that I have set for myself. Saturday is a day I look forward to for the studio opening and hanging with friends. Plus, it feels good to accomplish things each day and I need that so I can feel like I am moving forward out of my box. Oh that silly box we put ourselves into. It can be such a challenge to tear it down, mentally. I know I have put myself in one thinking I have to do this or this to be a “real” person. So my goal now is this experiment… What if instead of worrying myself into an anxiety frenzy about a job and money that I put all that energy (which is a lot) into MY business. Pure, streamlined FOCUS. No doubtful thoughts, no negative, no worry – just complete movement. Sawing, writing, photographing, sewing, brewing, planning. I will let you know how it goes. All I can say is for now I am breaking up with trying to be normal. I just can’t be what I am “supposed” to be in other people’s  or society’s eyes. Of course, I have never followed the rules, so why start now.

Living in this moment, doing what I do and making magic happen.

A mobile for my friends pit bull that passed away

This is a mobile for my friend. Her pit bull passed away and I have had this on the table for months. I am not sure why I never finished it, maybe there was a reason. I think she will like it.

Pink coyote

I have a teacher who has been invaluable to me this last year and presently. She has changed my life and help me see my path. She helps guide a whole community of woman – helping us learn to walk in the seasons of the medicine wheel. She is moving and I want to gift her with several totems. This is just one… Still working on the rest – don’t worry, I will show you 😉

Ps. I will be adding mobiles like these to Le Shop! don’t worry your pretty little heads.

tuesday night

My friend posted this on her fb page. I love it and wanted to share with you.

“Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw at it still. Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good — be good for something. All fables indeed have their morals, but the innocent enjoy the story.”

Take a look!

by canyon critter on October 14, 2012

I added some new coin purses and pouches in the shop. I am working super hard ( on new ideas), so I will be updating a lot… getting the shop stocked for Christmas shopping. Can you believe we have to think about holiday shopping already, but my favorite one is Halloween. Super exciting!

I hope you are enjoying this lovely fall weather. We are drinking lots of hot tea, soup and of course, the pups are sunning as much as possible.

Fall is coming

by canyon critter on August 23, 2012

The mornings have been so cold that I have had to pull out my sweaters. I absolutely love it. Today I found this post and SWOON! I think I am moving at a perfect time, I hope. The seasons seem to be changing earlier so I hope we don’t miss the gorgeous colors. I am having such a hard time being patient – waiting to move. Although, patience has never been my strongest feature. Of course, living in transition can be tough I think for anyone and we have been living in transitions for such a long time.

I do have to say when it gets colder it is harder for me to want to eat fruit and salads. I crave warm foods, so lately I have been having breakfast around noon. It warms up by then and I can eat my fruit. Soon I will be switching to raw oatmeal, almond milk, almonds and fruit. NUMMY!

project

I am adding some little coin purses back in the shop. I wanted some under $10 items and had a whole bunch of small zippers left over, so soon.

project

At night to wind down, I crochet. It is amazing how much this puts me in meditation and calms me right down. I do this when I feel anxiety, sad or I need to think. I am going to try to make some doggy jackets, but I can’t read patterns, so we will see how it goes, of course, I will keep you informed.

buffalo

And today I put these white buffalo in the shop. I have some pit bull dogs and some others coming as well later in the week.

I cut Tambi’s nails yesterday and cut her quick and it was like a bloody massacre took place. I felt SOO horrible. I was running around grabbing flour and colloidal silver, rags, aspirin and something yummy for her to eat to forgive me. Can I just tell you how amazing she is. I love her so freaking much. Everyday I am so grateful she made it out of that place and far far away from those people. Her and Sally are the bestest of friends. Actually, I think she wants to be best friends with everyone she meets… she is just that amazing.

And today, I pulled this card: Wolf

Wolf can survive either as a loner or as part of a pack, and he howls to remind you that you have to balance the needs of others with the needs of the self. If you’re giving yourself away to your own detriment, you are living in opposition to Wolf medicine. Return to balance—and begin feeding your emotions, your mind, and your body.

and quote for today:

Power is everywhere. It lives in everything. It might be known through a word, or come in the shape of an animal. We all have power, but some tap into different rooms. Power speaks to those who listen.

~Chiricahua Apache 13:02-13:26~
