This Weekend’s Woodland Crowns
It’s the final batch of Woodland Crowns for the VARF 2024 season! This is closing weekend already!
Drawing a winner for the elf hood! This afternoon at 12:30
Tomorrow is the deadline for custom Elf Hoods for 2023, and for custom handfasting cloths for late October, 2023.
There are only 2 slots left for the hoods!
Also, there is some weird glitch on my website host where it is impossible to see an add to cart button for some reason.
It is there! Please see the video below if you are interested in these last two slots.
And now for something, completely, different.
Dash Rippington and his Dangerously Stupid Show, with his volunteer, (my middle child) Robin!! 🤘🏻🖤
Lassie sighting out my studio door. 💕
It’s effing freezing (what else is new?!) in the studio. 😑
I can see my breath indoors.
Rememeber my precious little Mimosa hen who needed surgery last fall?
(She’s doing great, btw)
She now has a chick!! Little Sprout was born about an hour ago, via the incubator. 🥰
I’m seriously blown away by this response from a happy customer.
Wow!! And thank you so much for sharing with this with me! 🥰♥️🥰
“…. I bought this capelet you made 2nd hand. I am sure they wore a few times to look cute at the renn faire. I took it to Ireland. I was doing a 5 day horse trek along the southwest coast. I though I might look cute too if I wore in town. But it became an essential piece of gear. Through screaming winds and driving rain, soaked to the bone, the under fleece was the only thing that stayed dry and kept me warm. Even riders with technical gear were drenched. On days when it was cool the capelet was just enough and gave a lord of the rings vibe. I just wanted you to know your price was used as it was meant to be and not just to be cute.” -Adrienne
Mimosa is in a big dog crate in our basement to keep her warm and safe away from the rest of our animals while she is recovering on her special food.
She is doing incredibly well, we’re so happy!!
🥰🥰🥰
Sneak peek at this Fall’s new Woodland Crowns! These will be available at my booth at the Ravenwood Faire September 30 - October 2.
New Mama duck, Juniper!
Happy Ostara! 🌷🌸🌷
We have…ducklings!
Today we are witnessing the most precious birth of new ducklings, our first, on our little farm. Juniper, mama duck, went broody about a month ago, and has been the most diligent expecting mother. Today, on the eve of Ostara, her hatchlings are arriving. We have one fully out, number 2 is on her way, and we are watching for the 3rd one now. So exciting!! #babyducks #strikedaekins #farmlife #ducklings #ostarablessings #ostaraducklings
I was in a tank top yesterday, today we have 8 inches of snow. #colliesofinstagram
Working in the studio again today, and I just love my roving visitors. 🥰 These are our free-ranging pet ducks, their little lagoon is close to the studio.
I wasn’t sure how Runa would react to a cloak being worn on her, as it was the first time we have done a costume shoot and she was perfect 🥰
