Sword Fern Spirit Doll

She is lady of sword ferns, who holds secrets from the cool forest floor. She is filled with fern plant matter inside, and wears a fern on her skirt.

Sword ferns always show up for me in dreams and journeys, as guides and protectors. I am always grateful for their lush and bountiful presence here in the Pacific Northwest.

 

Forest Mandalas

After I returned from camping in the rainforest, I saw green.  I went to my yarn scraps and started crocheting circles from green yarns.

These are inspired by my love for circles, mandalas and the forest.

There are so many more mandalas to be made, and I will continue to crochet more circles, maybe connect them and create a wall hanging for our kitchen.   It is so wonderful when nature inspires creativity.

New Project: To the Forest!

I am very excited!

If you are a "tree person" like me, check out my new blog called "To the Forest!"

It combines my personal love of trees with my belief that being with and around trees can support healing and wellness.

I also have plans in the works for combining my love for crochet and fiber art and my deep love for trees and the forest.

Oh yes....and my Etsy shop is temporarily closed while I revise some of the items and offerings in my shop.

On my latest forest trip, I wore one of my favorite scarves I made out of 100% baby alpaca yarn. The scarf is perfectly soft and warm for cool mornings in the damp northwest forest.

Hope to see you in the forest!
