Excellent, I like those, thanks my lovely xx
Iām not active in this craftalong, but I love the moon and have been following along and being inspired.
The Jewish calendar is lunar, so each holiday is always at the same moon phase each year.
On Friday we celebrated Passover. After helping my brother get his kids in the car, I walked back home and glanced up. The moon was full and surrounded by a beautiful halo, so I took a moment just to look at it and think of you guys
I didnāt know the Jewish calendar was lunar! I feel like there was a whole gap in my knowledge there. Thatās really wonderful.
I love you thought of us under the light of the full moon, after leaving your family celebration. It gives me all the feels. And thank you so much for dropping in a comment. Sending you ALL the mooney love!
I have been forced to take a swap break due to work demands so I missed this! We observe the wheel of the year in my household! I really need to catch up here!
I havenāt been crafting so much lately so I donāt have much to share yet but I did hike to a hidden labyrinth last Sunday that you guys might like?
I aggressively feel this. I feel like Iāve been in a pinball machine, lately. Itās so good to see you! That labyrinth is amazing! And huge! How did you hear about it?
We have a simple, local one made out of bricks, so nothing like your big boulders.
Yes! I love this! (I love finding ones not on the list too!) We had one at my old job at Electronic Arts right at the end of the campus that I really loved. It was a great way to recenter.
I love these so much! I love labyrinths but I havenāt crafted anything with it. These are so inspiring! I especially like the top and bottom ones because it appears like thereās a tactile way you can trace the path of the labyrinth with your finger. Like a meditative fidget toy!
I love how labyrinths are meditative and embroidery can be meditative. Did you end up getting the punch embroidery set? Iāve been wondering about that craft.
Yeah, Iāve actually had my punch needle for awhile, but never broke it out. Apparently, the cloth is important? But I have some of that, too. I think itās monk cloth? It needs the wider weave.
Apparently, I enjoy the crafty hunt more than what comes after.
Happy Beltane, friends. I am sending light, creativity, and well-being to you all.

Many happy returns, there is a tradition in this area to put flowers on your doorstep for may eve. Ours went out late! But they were there for part of the day.
How long have you been in your new house, @Edel ? Is this the first year?
I read through the comments in the link, and liked this one:
From where I come from in Ireland the month of May ( or in Irish Bealtaine) is pronounced B-YOWL-TINNA, not Bel Taine
and I was also intrigued by this comment:
Indeed, the Celtic calendar had only two seasons, and May 1 was the first day of summer ā the first day of the āseason of brightnessā that would run until the Samhain (November 1st), the first day of the āseason of darknessā.
I like the Season of Brightness. And having light until 8!
Yes, in Irish it is pronounced that way.
We are just over a year in this house, we moved in middle of march. Itās great, weāre really happy here and thereās a bedroom for you when you come to visit
Today, I learned from my favorite blogger the small crescent at the base of your thumbnail is called ālunulaā or ālittle moonā.
All of us carry little moons with us every day. Sending everyone peace and light.

Has anyone heard from Heather? Iāve written letters & email but no response for a while, not since she mentioned a change in living situation. Her profile has last sign-in in March. Iām missing herā¦
We have friends in main with that plant that has taken over their dining room window and half the walls. When it blooms it is glorious.
