Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Worm Moon

This month Jamie asks 'What Dreams are Emerging?  What Dreams are Stirring?'

I've been very fortunate this past month.  I got to work a few days for a family friend, thus I now have money for my mother's birthday, as well as I was the recipient of a whole bunch of jewelry from my sister's mother-in-law.  That's the what the pile of jewelry is for.  There's a lot of costume jewelry and pieces from the 80's (now considered vintage!)  It was a blessing within a blessing though.  I was having trouble with using plastic in my jewelry pieces.  It seemed to go against the whole 'Go Green' aspect I was looking for in my business practice.  But think about it... any plastic that someone is wearing is plastic that is being used and not sitting in a landfill.  I won't be buying any plastic/acrylic/lucite in the bead stores though... that creates a demand and thus goes against my vision.

Okay!  The blanket is something I'm making for my Mom.  I'm actually doing finger crochet, which I consider easier that normal crochet.  Look it up on youtube!  It's finally looking like a blanket and not a scarf, but I have a ways to go yet.  The spoon is what I want to do with the wooden spoons in our kitchen.  I've been looking more towards the kitchen witch path, and I have the wood burner.  Voila!  Kitchen witch wand. 

Something else I've been trying to start is a yoga practice.  We have a few DVDs and I've been wanting to try it.  Basically trying to move forward in my own way.  

Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Snow Moon

Ugh!  Have any of you lovlies tried to find pictures for a board and just been '... I have no idea what I want' ?  That was this time for me.  Not to mention the prompt is 'What desires lie deep within'.  My brain in response to that was 'I have no depth!  I am as shallow as a kiddie pool.  Don't ask me hard questions.  Ooh look!  Youtube!'  Then I would proceed to listen to music and watch period dramas for hours.

I finished this one over this weekend, despite having the two weeks.  So here we go.  Lots of words.  I'm not a terribly emotional person on the surface.  So I suppose it makes sense that they would be hanging around in the deep recessed parts of my subconscious, waiting to attack me when a prompt such as this arises.

I am a starter.  Ask my sister... I've been writing a fictional piece for two years now and am only on chapter 12.  So finishing is a goal I need to figure out how to obtain.  Strength goes with that... and the weight loss thing I mentioned last time.  

Worth and I are not friends.  I don'y take complements well.  They make me uncomfortable. So that is another goal, to become civil with feeling worthy of my dreams.  Ability is a bit self-explanatory so I'm going to move on to the pictures. 

I want to sell jewelry.  I know I am super original for saying so, but there it is.  I want to make people pretty things that make them feel good.  I want to use natural materials and educate people on the emotional and spiritual properties that natural stones have and produce.

The pottery picture is for creating things.  The maiden, mother, and crone picture is for spirituality.  I have been in a rut regarding both of those things and would like it to quit already.  Okay... thank you for reading/viewing my rant about life.  You are now free to move about the cabin.

Full Moon Dreamboards-The Full Wolf Moon

This month Jamie asks: What are you hungry for?  For once in my life... spring!  The goals that I am trying to achieve are rather difficult to do in the winter.  Losing weight being one, as shown by the pear with the measuring tape.  I didn't like all of those pictures of thin women measuring themselves or on scales... plus I'm a pear-shape so I thought it was cute.

A place for all of my crafting supplies.  Whenever I go into my jewelry supplies bin I mess it up.  I really crave a way to keep it organized or a new system altogether.  I also yearn for the space to dry herbs and make tincture and the like, thus the woman in her still room.

Saving money or having it in the first place is a big one.  The coin purse and the basil stand for that.  Well... the basil is for both prosperity symbolism and the spring thing.  We have managed to keep a little basil plant alive, but it won't be usable until it gets more sun.

What I feel is most important is the sitting girl.  I hunger for meaningful alone time.  I'm an introvert and thus enjoy being solitary, but I seem to want to be alone a lot lately.  As in not liking company much at all.  So I figure that means I must not be getting quality alone time to recharge my social batteries.  If anyone has any ideas on how to do that, I'd appreciate a comment on it.

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN THIS

Those who have read this blog know that I am Pagan.  I was raised Mormon.  I have no qualms against Christianity or any other religion... except for things like this.  It makes no sense.  Christians believe Christ died for our sins, so why would he, if not God himself, allow something like this to happen?  Why would someone be punished for not only not having faith in God, but not knowing.  I'm pretty sure this is just something that was said in order to get people to go on missions to preach the word of God.  But no.  If the Christian God and Heaven are what awaits us in the afterlife, and those who are good, decent people but do not believe in or know of the existence of God... if those people are going to hell?  Then I guess I am too.  Because 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.' 

I saw this on pinterest.  Sorry.  I'm trying not to get so angry at things I can't change (people's belief in things like the above).  

Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Cold Moon

This month Jamie asks us 'What comforts do you dream of?'

Leave it to me to be practical.  To be financially stable and on time would be a great comfort. I've wanted to go to a spa for awhile now... that would be so awesome.  I imagine if they really have those mud baths that I would be playing rather than relaxing.  But I suppose play is a kind of relaxation, no?

I love scarves.  They are a great comfort.  You can't really wear necklaces with them, but you can wear pins and brooches!  I love those too!  The comforter is not a pun.  I really do need a new bed set.  My current one is a bit worn, not to mention green.  Green is fantastic but in a burgundy painted room?  Not so much.

KITTENS!  Not just any kittens... Sphinx kittens!  Bread, the ultimate comfort food.  You may disagree and say chocolate, but bread can be any taste: sweet, salty, savory.  I should make some bread...  maybe with dinner tomorrow.

Full Moon Dreamboard- Full Frost Moon

This month's dreamboard question asks 'What is clear about your dreams?' and 'What further clarity do you seek?'  What is becoming clear to me is my career path, for one.  A friend of the family recently gave my sister some information for me regarding massage therapy school (apparently the normal route is NOT the way to go, and considering that she manages a massage clinic, I'm bound to believe her on that).  She also said that if I'm good at massage therapy, that there may be a job at the center she works at for me!  *insert high pitched excited noise here*

Ah, the car.  I need to drive more.  I don't care to do it, as my perfectionism kicks into high gear when I do drive and I keep getting down on myself for it.  It is clear to me that I need bright colors in my jewelry making supplies.  I have a lot of metallics and darker colors, but I need to add some vibrant ones.

I would like clarity of skin, thus the mirror.  I've been having a problem with cystic acne along with hives recently.  Not fun.  I would like to know how to fine-tune my perception of things and overall outlook on life.  See what I did there, with the tuning forks?  Funny?  No?  

Clarity of heart would be nice.  Within myself and with others.  Clarity on what to do with this blog!  I have so many things I could write about, but I don't because I'm worried about the direction the blog would take.  Ooh, and last but not least... I would like clarification on crocheting.  I'm not very good at sewing-type stuff and I keep knotting the yarn.  So I'm thinking wire might be easier?  Combining crocheting with jewelry making?  What do you guys think?

Full Moon Dreamboard-Harvest Moon

This month, we are asked "What would I love an abundance of?"  Health is a big one.  I was recently diagnosed with PCOS (Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) and the medication I've had to take has been pretty awful.  One makes me nauseous and I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the other :/

Energy is the other big one.  I haven't been cooking or doing much of anything lately.  I'm pretty sure it's tied to the health thing as well as being the stress of moving.  Buy hey!  We're now in our new house and I'm already feeling better!  

Time, as there never seems to be enough.  Peace and prosperity for our new living situation. Wisdom is something I'm always striving for.  And last but not least, the sweater is for softness.  Warmth too because it's starting to get cold, but while we need to get things moving around here we need a nice cushiony environment in which to do it.
