  • Creating Your Own Magickal Correspondences

    Creating Your Own Magickal Correspondences

    On October 28, 2020 Sew Witchy was discussed and reviewed by RhomanysRealm on Youtube. Someone in the the comments section asked about the magickal correspondences I gave for the stitches and how someone would go about assigning correspondences to those stitches not covered in the book. This is a topic that I spent a lot…

  • Rub on Transfer Candle Holder

    This is a quick, little craft that can really elevate your plain glass candle holders.  Get a sheet of rub on transfers and a glass and go to town decorating the holder. I got all of mine from the dollar store so this makes for a very cheap craft as well. I don’t know if…

  • Cross Stitch: SF Swear Words

    Cross Stitch: SF Swear Words

      I’m a word nerd and a science fiction geek.  I also love to swear.  Like, really fucking love to curse. My swearing is sometimes a problem (like when my children started dropping f-bombs as toddlers).  But mostly swearing offers me a release for frustration.  (Also, swearing has its benefits.) Which is why I love…

  • Plarn: Its Crafting and Magical Uses

    Plarn: Its Crafting and Magical Uses

    In my book, Sew Witchy, I’ve written on magical correspondences of various fabrics.  My focus there was on natural fibers (cotton, linen, wool and silk).  Not all crafters and sewists limit themselves to natural materials, though.  In fact I’d hazard a guess that very few do.  One could, I suppose, use only silk or cotton…

  • Flower Crown

    It feels, sometimes, like no book is done until it is actually at the printers. February saw me having to go through not only copyedits for The Natural Home Wheel of the Year but having to take extra photos to help the editors understand how some of the crafts come together. The book includes instructions…

  • Body of a Goddess

    Body of a Goddess

    I’ve been quieter than usual on this blog because I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo this month.  Of course because I am me and I can’t do anything the way it is supposed to be done, I’m working on a non-fiction book rather than a novel.  It’s a sewing book, which means I’ve been working on…

  • Trust the Process

    I had a few more photos to reshoot for The Natural Home Wheel of the Year today. I will admit that I’m a bit photographed out. Not the least of which because I had to remake the twig wreath as I had thrown the last one out.  That meant today I was attaching twigs to…

  • Spell for Overcoming Obstacles

    Spell for Overcoming Obstacles

    Domestic witchery is a fascination of mine, I think because it seems like it would be the oldest and most common form of witchcraft.  Or maybe it’s just the lazy part of me that appreciates being able to accomplish two tasks in one. This spell is one I’ve been working with over the last year…

  • Mending

    I have a favorite IKEA bag. It’s a little, reusable shopping bag that folds into a pocket. I’ve had it for years and I love it. It’s part of my everyday carry and I’ve used it to carry library books, groceries, and when foraging. Things that get loved hard end up needing repairs after a…

  • She’s Got It, Yeah, Baby, She’s Got It!

    She’s Got It, Yeah, Baby, She’s Got It!

    On the bulletin board behind me is a pin I bought years ago at a Worldcon.  It reads: “I have the body of a goddess—the Venus of Willendorf.”  A guy friend who was with me at the time said, “roach, you aren’t fat.”  While I appreciated his attempts to soothe what he saw as me…

Got any book recommendations?
