Today was a very unique day, one where I was visited by magic, perhaps because I was woken up two hours early and the universe thought I deserved it to repair the injury incurred, perhaps because it was so fresh and light, and bright and warm outside, perhaps because I discovered a new song, or maybe because I took two droppers of b12, twice my usual dose? Whatever it was, I had so much joy and energy and this was reflected in my work. ——————————————— As always, if you’d like to buy any of my work or commission one, DM me.

Ps. This was Monday. A lot has happened since then. It’s been a teaching week, of highs and lows, but I’m still here so there’s that I suppose. And the magic of Monday just goes to show, there’s always a light to look forwards to even inside the clouds.

Not sure what’s up with my eyes these last few days but I’ve been struggling to see, both in the distance and up close.l, which has made for uncomfortable moving around and just being in the world in general, as well as hampered my stitching somewhat. My brain has also been like mush, so my learning, which I always do at the same time as I stitch, learning deep things like biochemistry and neuroscience, has been small and incomplete. I tried wearing my glasses to day, something I rarely do because I can’t bear the feeling of them against my face, but it just made things worse and wasn’t worth it despite the compliments. So a muddled attempt at a silver crown, some tiny sequins and leaves and some knitting on big needles, pretty much trusting to memory of shapes as opposed to actually knowing by seeing things. Hopefully it’s not all a mess. But look, even my photos are blurred!!! Maybe life is trying to tell me to take a break? Or maybe there’s just a big chunky jumper in the works? Lol 😂.

My little light, sleeping the day away on my lap. There’s nothing more perfect than time spent sewing and knitting in partnership with this one. She’s also the key to sweet dreams and healing, comforting sleep. My Number 1 BFF. We’ve yet to have a falling out. She’s just too precious, no matter what... snagged jumpers, dropped stitches, claw-marked silk dresses, accidents purposefully done in the wrong place on the wrong floor, instigating fights with big dogs that that then bark at me, etc. Just one look at her face and it all slides. Yup!!! My little finger is 100% wrapped but I couldn’t wish for a better owner.

What is essential now to make my business grow?
The deck I chose for you is the Dreaming Way tarot by Rome Choi and the card I pulled is The Wheel of Fortune. It depicts a young woman bent over a wheel. She has greenery behind her that is shaped like wings and her hands are busy untangling yarn from an old spinning wheel. I see her as earth angel, or at least a spiritual person who is being divinely guided. And, coloured green, her wings, and therefore her task, are all part of some larger healing, a bigger purpose and plan.
Now let’s look at her more deeply. She is intent on her task, endlessly patient, completely absorbed, and, happily, so. And although she is flushed, suggesting she had been at this work a long time, a sentiment mirrored by the near untangled yarn on the floor before her, she doesn’t look angered, flustered, frustrated or perplexed. In fact, she seems happy to invest whatever time is needed in order for her to start.
This card suggests to me, in relation to your question, that fortune will come, success will be won, your dreams and goals will be met and great things accomplished. But only if you are first prepared to do the work and to accept that, perhaps, where you are starting from isn’t ideal. It’s not a new shiny wheel. It’s not even electric. The yarn is tangled, second-hand instead of pristine, the floor is dirty. But the tools are there. All that’s needed is the investment of time, the desire to do so and a bit of skill.
On the flip side, I can’t help being reminded of the saying “reinventing the wheel”, prompting me to ask: are you trying to enter a field that is already saturated, that is timeless and/or has been around for a long time? And with that question comes the responding advice that maybe the way to ensure success, to make sure you stand out as bright and shiny, different and new, attractive and necessary to your chosen audience..., is to look at your business and see how and where you can make it original and unique.
One could also look at the card and see a woman labouring to learn a new skill, trying to spin but not quite managing it. Are you properly prepared? Is cont in comments ...
So much fun and sewing this week. And so much joy. I feel blessed to have found such escapism, connection, flow and comfort in the embrace of my favourite things.
Ps. Outside light, for some reason, is harder to show a clean pic from. I guess 5pm is too blue for great shots. ——————————————— As always, if you’d like to buy any of my work or commission one, DM me. I’m at my happiest when one of my pieces finds a good home and I love working to order too.
