When I was younger I was enchanted by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Her stories of living in the woods and hearing the wolves, bee keeping and the sort, how the winters were quiet and the summers were spent growing veggies and such and all in preparation for the upcoming winter. "Fall is a very busy time, because the harvest from the garden and fields must be brought in as well".
To me, Fall is the beginning of great abundance. Today, September 22 is the 2010 Autumn Equinox and is also the beginning of my new buisness The wOOly Owl.
I have been searching for my trade. A craft that I could use my hands and work as hard as I decided too. A hobby that would get me by and allow me to follow my own dreams of living in a small house in the big woods.
As I started sewing, I realized that I wanted to move forward in a practical and sustainable way. Working at Hip baby in Victoria, BC, I was exposed to all things mom and baby and the importance that Wool has to play in the grand old world of cloth diapering. Wool is temperature regulating, water resistant, natural and sustainable. It comes from gentle creatures and or from Good Will...... I decided to gather and reuse 100% wool sweaters (called up-cycling) to help further reduce waste of existing wool. From there I began designing different goodies for mom and baby that I know are going to ruffle your feathers IN A gOOd WAY!!
Moving out from British Columbia to beautiful Gravenhurst, I noticed that there was a huge need for all things organic and good and decided that yes, my calling is to create, and thus The wOOly Owl was born.
With Autumn comes time for abundance, and today I continue to gather and sew goodies so that, come christmas and spring, I will have a good supply of goodies to offer.
In the meantime, I hope your Autumn brings you the opportunities and experiences needed for great change and abundance in your life
Until my next blog,
Let All those golden autumn days be a crisp sky full of wings.
