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.”

Sunshine Monday

by canyon critter on January 29, 2013

So wow! That full moon was extremely powerful for me – the energy of it was a little much ( Leo is a force, though!), but today is much calmer.

I am such a creature of habit. If we don’t walk everyday, we all get in a funk (I am ready for spring). Being in nature and walking is so good for the soul and the mind. Morning glory

I went to the studio for a bit yesterday, I would like to think I was helpful, but I was too cold to move. ha. I did, however, have an amazing conversation with my friend, E. This whole thing (studio) is divine, I tell you. I needed these people just at this time. Talking with her was so helpful and it confirms what I have been trying to do – streamline things. Focus.

I have a lot of new and different things planned for this blog, the future of Le Howl and our personal life. I am just working my way backwards to get there. It is an adventure – life. I am just so grateful for the amazing people in my life right now- such good energy flowing about.

Can you feel it?

The changes happening everywhere, the energy of the universe, the magic from the earth and the animals, spirits and guides helping us between realms? Are you connected to the divine? Connecting to spirit to feel this? I hope you are… I hope you meditate, sit in stillness, walk barefoot, hug a tree – anything to connect and feel her magic.

There is some powerful energy going on.

So good things are coming. I may not know from which way all the time, but I am open to receive.

“When I was young, I believed that life might unfold in an orderly way, according to my hopes and expectations. But now I understand that the Way winds like a river, always changing, ever onward.. My journeys revealed that the Way itself creates the warrior; that every path leads to peace, every choice to wisdom. And that life has always been, and will always be, arising in Mystery.” Socrates

Sally gets her herbal tea in bed every morning :)

So this week, I am starting tinctures and oil infusions to make salves and lotions – for humans and animals. Last night I gave Sally a Calendula, chamomile and peppermint tea rinse for her itchy skin and yes, she gets her herbal tea every morning and night in bed (so spoiled).

I am getting my witchy kitchen ready for brewing!! You want to come over and make magic?

Witches brew over here

Also am setting a date to start filling Le Howl Shop by Feb. 9 – that will give me a week to solder and work in the studio.

The animals... They speak to me.

I have also decided I am done using my little airstream oven. So if anyone wants to share any raw herbal treat recipes… please do. Or if you have any herbal lotions, body care etc… recipes!!?

I don't know. I wonder if she is comfortable enough. #spoiledpup

Have a good week birds. xo

WEeeeeee!

by canyon critter on April 25, 2012

What a day and a super hot day at that – 96 degrees here. Spring, what happened? It was such an off day. I had a super bad headache all night and this morning, I think from my allergies. To those that don’t suffer… bless you. I think I need to order some nettle tea or some heavy remedy. It has been super hard to function lately. eek!
But I did get to talk to my super lovely friend and it is always fabulous to catch up! I did get some dog tags cut out and I am going to sketch tonight. I dreamt I was working on something amazing last night and for the life of me could not remember what it was from my dream. I hope it will come to me. I am going to start keeping my sketch book tied to my hip, I tell you.

I didn’t get to juice the last couple days, or more like… I was too lazy to juice, which meant for some reason that I eat more carbs. ARG! I did, however, make this lovely mock tuna salad, but I hate the whole thing and my tummy is sure paying for it. TOO MUCH FOOD 🙂 ps. I used this recipe and changed it a little and I forgot to mash it up, so hers looked much prettier on her website, but mine sure did taste good.

And Gus’s mom sent this photo of him modeling his super awesome one of a kind dog tag that I made for him. Since he is such a silly goose, his mom wanted a goose. Cuteness!!
