I was terrified of becoming a mother a second time. Having walked the beautiful paths as well as over the coals. The whole ordeal, the surrender, it was all so much the first time and I thought the second would be the story retold. How wonderful to be totally wrong. This pregnancy has been nothing like I foretold myself. How wonderful to be wrong.
Creativity, beauty for the sake of beauty, love in all its depths and grief. I was given this same invitation the first time, but it seems I needed initiation before I would accept it. What I was willing to reclaim was not as much as was offered. How beautiful life is.

Here is a mammoth 🦣 that has been waiting for me to carve her. I have always been drawn to the paleolithic human past and the creatures of the pleistocene. I wonder what it would be like to crochet with the wooly hair of a mammoth. What it would be like to see them lumbering along the landscape. Holding the grief of what was lost. My creativity has been abounding these months but at the same time I am moving slowly to forage it. There is a luxury to that, I know. But I ask myself now, am I foraging art from myself ethically?

My life has been so full lately 💛
Currently nesting 🪹 reading a lot of books (I took Instagram off my phone last month and I think I've read 6 books)
I've been reading so much on Ayurvedic medicine and herbalism.
Just enjoying these beautiful days and our last months as a family of 3.
The second and third slide are from my pregnancy journal. The first is from 8 weeks pregnant, the next is 24 weeks, I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant.

• just over here crafting a little baby wardrobe in between mothering and resting •
I dyed this organic cotton onesie 3 years ago with onion skins and today I printed it with some of my hand carved linocuts. I love these onesies from PACT, they're thick, high quality and so so so soft.

I think I was a woman in many lifetimes before this one. I love it, I know I chose it and would choose it again. To have a womb, to be blessed with the watery portal between the spirit realm and earth, to have a body that can sustain another both in the womb and outside of it, to be initiated again and again into deeper and richer places of being. That's what it means to me to be a woman. It's power, it's surrender, it's beauty, it's love. It's the milk and the honey.

Crocheted with worsted merino to keep the lil elf warm on future forest strolls. I always have a funny fret about my babies being warm enough, it really does make a difference in children enjoying the elements. Free hand with no pattern as usual, crochet is for the free spirited.

I'm looking back on photos from this year • and the ones that bring me joy are sunny photos from well spent hours outside and the photos of Hal, Charlie, and my kittie Soko. Not photos of accomplishments, or cool things I was doing or creating, not interesting places I visited, or things I found, or anything impressive. Just the daily ones, the giggling in the grass with Hal ones, the sun-tired blissed out selfies while Hal napped in the car ones, the sun glittering ones, the videos I pulled my phone out quick to catch Hal doing something silly ones, a messy home always in the background, the sleepy eyes and wild hair out on the balcony ones.
Being human is odd, spending so much of our energy on things that we hardly look back on, which as a result has us always hungry for more.
I love the stillness of January - I truly do think it holds magic for the new year. Because only in this stillness am I able to reflect. And then after a rest I can readjust myself into better alignment, turn myself towards the sun, and live lighter.
I don't start many of the resolutions or goals I feel intentional towards until closer to spring, but I love the stillness of January to reflect and choose them. Much like browsing through a seed catalog well before the growing season arrives, so I bring intention into the fresh new year.
Happy New Year friends - I hope January brings you reflection and the rest you need to live the life you were meant to ☀️✨💛🦋

• solstice death •

I found this beautiful herring gull resting in its final sleep today. This is a juvenile, probably in it's first winter by the looks of it. You can tell it's an American herring gull by the pink feet.

These birds have stuck close to humans over the years. Gulls were hunted down significantly in the early 19th century, for their feathers and eggs, but they've boomed in population since becoming a protected against hunting. I know most people don't care for gulls - they've adapted to our environment in a way that makes us uncomfortable, seeing them eat our trash and swim in our water treatment plants. My grandpa would always correct us when we referred to them as seagulls, that not being the correct name. On the west side of lake Michigan the most common gulls are the Herring Gull and the Ring Billed Gull, which has a black ring on its beak and yellow legs.

Thank you little gull for letting me see your beauty in death up close, and teaching me.
