Autumn is well underway which means that its time for cold mornings, bundling up, and SCARVES! Crocheting (and knitting) is just more fun this time of the year. It isn’t the same in the summer when you’re all hot & sticky – not the time to tie yourself up in wool! But it is now! […]

School Time Wondra
Class starts tomorrow! (Eep!) I am happy because I’m already a week ahead in both classes but nervous because I know that won’t last. Also, I have two weeks off work that happen to coincide with my first two essays being due. Is that good timing, or what? I’ve made myself two promises for this […]

Rainy Days.
Well… It’s Autumn in Wales and that means one thing: Rain. Fucking tumps of it. The weather forcaster told us yesterday that it would likely rain for a month. A month. If you need me, I’ll be in the back yard. Building an ark. …Or just hiding in bed, surfing pinterest. Check out these great […]

Epic. Fail.
Let’s face it, boys and girls, I am not a small person. I am two hundred and fifty pounds of awesome. (And crazy and wicked and a little derranged and oh so many other things.) Sometimes, I forget this simple fact. Sometimes, in my head, I’m still the 130 lb. girl I was when I […]

Once a band geek, always a band geek.

Varsity football, college football, NFL – You name it. (NOT that sissy ass British football where […]

Merry Mabon!
Here’s wishing everyone a very merry and very blessed Mabon. 🙂 I couldn’t let the Equinox pass us by without sharing Scratchy the Scarecrow. (As named by ravenoushair!) Here’s the bit you saw already: That was on Thursday. On Friday, I put the whole thing together. Here’s what Scratchy looks like today: When I made […]

Mabon: The Autumn Equinox
I dug this out of the Wondra Vault for you today. It was written back in 2006 – just three years after I moved to Wales. A lot has changed: My mother-in-law has passed away, I’m a bit more acclimatised to the bitter valleys wind, and we have since lost one of the kittens mentioned […]

Blog Swap!
Today is the first monthly (hopefully) Blog Swap with Jessica from a shimmering star. Jessica and I go WAY back… (Oh, those long days at band camp! Lol.) And even a great big ocean couldn’t keep us apart. You know that old saying “like chalk and cheese?” Well… That’s us. You couldn’t get two people […]

Scarecrows…
Well, I’ve begun the process of putting up a scarecrow for Mabon. (Hooray!) What do I have so far? This: Doesn’t look like much, does it? The wood was all stuff that was destined for the dump and it’s all held together with oodles of Duct Tape. I put it in an old planter we […]
