  • Make Time for Magic

    Part thrift, part tarot den, part creative rebellion — The Sunroom Etsy Shop is where cozy meets curious. Explore blind date books, upcycled altar finds, and sustainable magic for your desk, ritual space, or window seat. It’s happening. My shop is officially, really, open again. With items I absolutely love. Items I adore. Items I…

  • My Bones

    We’ve laid some skeletons to rest, and Halloween is officially packed away. With the time change this past weekend it is now time to unpack things to bring warmth to our home. Tomorrow I’m going to setup our Christmas tree – it makes our reading room extra magical as the light wanes at 5:30 pm.…

  • Through the Looking Glass

    Fourteen years ago, I had a horrible nightmare – I stepped through the looking glass, which has always been a dream of mine. The problem was, it wasn’t the pleasant and exciting adventure I had hoped it would be. Instead I found myself staring back into the mirror and realizing that if I did anything…

  • Pride

    Everything I’m working on seems to be running me directly into a terrible force field of trauma-generated protections.

Hand crafted items have not yet been posed for their professional headshot, so aren’t active, but will be coming…

  • Planning Is My Jam

    As an ADHDer (diagnosed a few months ago at 45) – I like to pick up craft habits and then toss them aside. Well, really I lovingly put them away and then forget they exist. But in 2016 the world of paper planners exploded, and I knew it was meant for me. Growing up I…

  • The Hermit

    Today was a bit flipped on it’s head, so my tarot pull came at the end of the day rather than my preferred morning contemplation with a hot beverage in hand. The Hermit. Today, and so many days, and the Whole Year. Literally. Being of a certain age I hit my formative teen years with…

  • Golden Afternoon

    Today was made for reveling in the minute. There is something entirely magical about a day at home with ADHD medication. I find myself lightly skipping from one completed task to the next, as though picking my way across stones in a sunny garden. Did I mention the tasks were completed? And the picking of…
