The Weekend's Crafts

Sorry for last week’s complete absence from blogging – after a truly exhausting week, we had a very relaxing weekend full of quality time, cheesy Roger Corman movies, long restoring naps and taking care of our very neglected home. We’re back fully rested and ready to face this week’s work.

My crafty work was focused of hand sewing. Our very magical Cornelius, a doll which was a gift from a customer (thanks once again Heather!) and that has become my craft room companion, needed a new set of clothes – he loves the cats and the cats love him back just as much, so the clothes I made for him were completely covered in cat hair and needed a wash. Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while know that dolls are a very important part of my magical work – and certainly, this work fits into the “work with the Small Ones” category of work that I mentioned in my last post.


As you can see in the pics, I also sewed two new quilted potholders for the kitchen, and a small quilted mat using a lovely piece of owl-themed fabric that our dearest friend and customer Lucy sent me from the UK (thanks once again Lucy!). Two good practices to start making bigger patchwork projects in the near future – as part of my desire to recycle/upcycle my ever growing collection of fabrics. Every now and then, our friends and family bring us bags of clothes and household fabrics “because I’m sure you’ll make something out of this”, and if I don’t start using them all they will take every free space on our little craft room (smile).

This little bowl was crocheted and beaded, to hold my cowrie shell oracle and my coconut Oracle pieces.

I have also made several items to be listed this week – hopefully tomorrow. Five small Witch Dolls for your altar, three unique necklaces and a small army of wax poppets for spellwork/amulets/etc. If you are interested in any of them and want to save me the joy of listing them, please let me know as usual :).

The Witch dolls are perfect for your altar – stuffed with protection and healing herbs and adorned with a lovely deer charm (18$ each)

The wax poppets are perfect for spells – you can carve the spell’s recipient name easily with a pin or nail, and add runes, sigils, etc. (5$ each).

The necklaces have been made with ritual attire in mind – the white one has shell, glass and carved bone beads; the green and brown, glass and ceramic plus the Earth Goddess charm; the yellow and orange, glass and a wonderful vintage snake charm that I have been saving for years. 35$ each.
EDITED – The white shell necklace has been sold.
