You know I have a thing about wood …..and sticks in particular. I come from a Swedish family of builders….woodworkers. As a child, the smell of fresh sawdust and handtools my Dad and Morfar (grandfather) used to build our first home with is still memorable in me…and there were always piles of scraps to build my fairyworld from.
Above were afew of my favorite pieces BF, (before the fire)…which have now been taken back by the earth: A small bag, A Eucalyptus basket, an amazing dragon pin (formed by nature!) and my first bracelet rack. The process of weaving together materials that feel like they belong together is always a satisfying process.
This beautiful, discarded maple branch caught my eye more recently and easily transformed into my new bracelet rack.
One of my favorite things about fall and winter are all the new branches that will be trimmed away and might be waiting for me on my next walk in the park!
Piecing fabric doesn’t always lead to a garment….The wallpiece above tried for a year to be a dress. The more I leaned into it, there was a poem and a piece for my wall emerging. It is a good day when even small bits come together.
It seems some of us are ‘rock’ people…and some of us are ‘stick’ people…(and some of us are both) as we collect what is interesting under foot. Folding a branch into a project is one of the ways I’ve always stayed connected with nature.
Fall is a feather that is floating by reminding us the days are getting shorter and it’s time to welcome all the rituals of winter back.
Drawing, hiking, dancing, weaving, baking, painting, writing……Enjoy what makes you happy as you settle into winter. Diane

Winning a multi million dollar lotto is a life changing event for almost any winner. My name is Billy Hansell from Chicopee, Massachusetts, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how I became the famous winner of the $758 million (£591 million) Powerball jackpot. I know many people wonder how I secured this lottery win. Would you believe me if I told you I did it with the help of a spell? I met a famous spell caster named Priest Alaska, and he was the one who made it happen for me. As surprising as it was even to me my famous comment to the press was, “I’m going to go crawl into bed now” I never imagined that Priest Alaska would make me rich overnight. If you, too, want to seize the chance to win big and achieve great wealth just as I did then contact Priest Alaska via email at alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or learn more about Priest Alaska on his website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com Fortune will smile upon you, too. Thanks for reading I hope to see you at the top.
Nothing is impossible if you truly believe you can achieve it. I have been trying to expand my wine business in my hometown, White Plains. For the past eight years, I had played the lottery in my spare time, but on one blessed day, I came across an article about Priest Alaska’s lottery-winning spell. I contacted Priest Alaska to see if it would work, and after agreeing to his terms and conditions for the work, he used his magical powers on my behalf; he provided the numbers I needed to play, and I followed his instructions. At the store, I discovered that I had won a $123 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain, but I looked again and saw that it was real. My life has taken an extraordinary turn going from nothing to prosperity and I have come to realize that life has a spiritual dimension; with Priest Alaska’s spell, winning the lottery is truly possible. Priest Alaska’s contact details are as follows: email alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or his website https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.e
