I have finally finished the sontag shawl I have been working on for the last couple of months. I soaked it and now it is blocking. Given how dense this knitting is I expect it to take a few days to dry. Pattern from natural state knits

Yes I treated myself to an advent calendar for ME. I have a lot of preserve making in my future and now I'll have lots of little jars to fill and give away.
Plus, I DESERVE IT

Since many of us have just cleaned our homes in a last-minute frenzy for the recent holiday, let’s talk about another house spirit for this #folklorefriday. The Kikimora is from Slavic folklore and is more in the vain of a fairy.

When the root of your broken tooth is so determined to stay in place that you have to spend over 50 minutes in the dentist chair and your dentist is leaning over you for so long her back goes into spasms multiple times.
Dentists should get free massages!

A few delicious food photos from our trip away.
First from the Safari Brai Shack. Beef and potato curry for me with a lamb curry bunny chow for hubby. Curry served in half a hollowed out loaf of bread. Hubby says they are missing a trick not serving rabbit bunny chow it would be a bunny bunny.

Lovely lunch at the Camphill Cafe today.
And great cakes for after too.

I honestly didn't expect this when I entered my weaving into the competition, I figured I might get some comments about it being too political, but apparently our mostly semi rural county has a backbone after all.
I need to get over there to see it displayed and check out everyone else's work.

When you realise your carved turnip is going mouldy and needs to be disposed of but you decide to light up his shrivelled face one last time.

I've made this every year on Samhain for a while now. It's my mom's Coffee cake and there's a photo of her making this on my kitchen altar.
Yes, in the UK, coffee cake is a coffee flavoured cake, not a streusel topped cake to have with coffee.

If Florence can empty witchcraft symbolism to promote her witchcore album out on Halloween, I can certainly have a video essay ready for the same date explaining about the actual Machine behind Everybody Scream. youtu.be/JzuBWcLHcV4 #witchsky #videoessay #florence+themachine #everybodyscream
