I love spiders and have had many experiences where they appear and I feel they are a messenger and sign from Spirit to pay attention and explore something deeper. I’ll tell you about one that made me laugh recently. Settle in for story time!

I was sitting here at my art table a few weeks ago, untangling a giant knotted mess of red thread, carefully pulling one thread out and wrapping it around a piece of cardboard to put in kits for students at a retreat. In my mind, I was wrestling with a lot of thoughts and emotions about an intense spiritual experience that I hadn’t fully made sense of yet. It felt like a tangled mess inside me. THEN, I feel something drop on the top of my head and it bounced down in front of me, right on to the mess of thread and guess what it was? A spider! I just laughed and said hi because I knew this jumpy spider well. It has been with me in my bedroom for many months, mostly on the windows in front of me when I’m working.

I felt like the Universe literally bopped me on the head with a sign and made it SO obvious with the spider and the threads I was pulling at literally and metaphorically…it felt so reassuring and got me out of a negative thought loop in that moment. That’s what I love about signs, they are so practical and helpful (and magical, of course!) ✨

I pulled this spider oracle card again yesterday from the gorgeous Spirit Animal Oracle deck by and the image and message resonate so much. I love this part: “Weaving your dreams into the fabric of life begins with a single thread of intention, and then Spirit joins you as your co-weaving partner.” So true and beautiful! 🕸️🕷️💖

Tonight before bed I’m sitting with the windows open with a cool breeze flowing in touching my skin, listening to soothing music and singing along as I unpick old stitches on this gorgeous vintage Peruvian cloth. There is something about lovingly deconstructing something someone else made with their hands that I find so engaging and stimulating for my imagination and my heart. And touching soft, beautiful art feels so comforting after looking at the overwhelming news that never stops.

Tonight, this is my prayer, this quiet, gentle presence with artists/humans from a different country than the one I live in, finding connection through beautiful creation. May we all feel safe, loved and cared for, every single one of us. 💖

The light on my art table right now is gorgeous as I sit and quietly stitch on this evolving meditative piece. I’m loving the gentle play of colors, textures, and soft rhythms that are emerging and starting to sing together. ❤️

Yesterday, I pulled an oracle card with the question in my heart and mind, “Spirit, please give me a message of support and encouragement right now.” I pulled a Coyote Spirit card that says, “Trust in divine detours.” I laughed when I read that because it was so spot on with where my thoughts were. That card came from The Spirit Animal Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid.

Then this morning, I pulled a card from a different deck, The Medicine Woman Oracle by Catherine Maillard, because my intuition whispered to and guess what card I pulled? Coyote Totem! My question this morning before I pulled a card was, “Spirit, what do I need to know that will help me today?” I laughed at the synchronicity, it was so amazing. The message says, “Show humour, laughter is your medicine.” The deeper description of both really resonated with me too, which I’m sharing here in the photos. And how interesting that both cards are the number 16, which is the day I was born. Wow wow wow. 💖

I continue to turn to oracle cards for practical direction and inspiration, whether I feel confused, lost, down, happy, excited or joyful. And the way Spirit will help if asked is so incredible every time I experience it! ✨💗

I love show and tell and finding beautiful things out in the world, they are two of my passions that make me so happy and inspired! I’m joining in challenge for fun and chose the theme of Found today to share this gorgeous handmade purse from Belgium that I found at an antique store in Oregon City, Oregon recently. The delicate embroidery and beading are stunning aren’t they? And I love the colors, including the stains. I wonder about the hands that have held it, who made it, what places it has traveled to, what rooms it has been in…I love the stories held in textiles that maybe I can know a little about but mostly I get to wonder and dream about. That depth excites me and draws me in. And I love when textiles have aged and worn, when I can feel they have the energy of a life lived within them, just like when I see someone’s face and and sense so many stories inside that have shaped who they are. ❤️

I’m finding tracing with stitches so simple and satisfying lately. This bright and colorful fabric is from the amazing Wild and Sacred art retreat last week that and I taught at ’s house and studio. Our whole group stood outside on the first day and stenciled and painted on big pieces of fabric and then when they were dry, Minette and I cut them up for everyone to use on their prayer flags. I decided to use some in this little book, which feels like a fabric art journal full of doodles, experiments and stories. It is a soft place for me to land and enjoy playing with colors and textures dancing with each other. There’s other little bits from that trip and from home in the book, part of an old hankie and a remnant from a vintage Peruvian textile from the antique shop in Oregon City we visited, some sparkly gold fabric I found at home and brought along, and some pieces of linen sheets I slept on at home for months before they wore thin. Quiet, soft, joyful stories are held here. I like that. ❤️

This morning, I sat down at my art table with a cup of coffee and recorded a story about my journey exploring past lives through the Akashic Records and by working with my spirit guides. In this episode, I talk about:

✨What all of this is for those who have no idea and how I approach this kind of exploration with a balance of curiosity, research, intuition, logic and wonder.

✨The lives I have learned about and how the information resonates with me in this life in some interesting and unexpected ways. (Connections to weaving and healing)

✨How old energy from another lifetime seemed to be living in my body—and how releasing it has opened the door to deeper understanding, clarity and empowerment for me.

You can listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts if you’d like! And I would love to know if you have explored past lives and how that experience has impacted you. 💗

When I fly, I love to set up a mobile mini art studio on the airplane. I flip down the tray table and lay out my stitching and journal and listen to music. I find it so calming and inspiring to create art up in the sky, moving from one place to another, glancing out at the clouds, rivers and mountains. Creative ideas pour out of me, things seem to get unstuck when I get up there and out of my routine.

When I traveled to Oregon last week to teach at a magical art retreat, I decided to start a new fabric meditation book on the way there. I slowly stitched, seated in between two men I’d never met. We all sat quietly, in our own bubbles, until we were about to land in Portland and one of the men leaned over and softly said, “Is that going to become like your jacket?” He had noticed the stitching on my jean jacket when I sat down. We ended up having a brief, kind conversation where he asked me if the technique I was doing had a name, I shared how calming it is and he said gently, “It’s very beautiful.” That interaction has stuck with me. Sometimes this world feels overwhelming with so many people fighting against each other and then I meet another human, living a life like I am, and we make eye contact, smile and exchange some friendly words with each other. And that feels reassuring, hopeful and good for my tender heart. 💖

On my flight home, I worked on another fabric meditation book, this one full of colorful memories and painted fabrics from the retreat. 🌈💕
