Moonbeams & Moss

Trying to clear my space and hopefully my head.
I keep dreaming up some magical spell evenings or tiny spell shed sessions for witchlings but the reality behind the scenes is considerably more chaotic than magical.

I’m a particularly messy creative -hugely so ! But I also think creativity is just messy biz, even the internal thought process is such a fleeting spiderweb of tangents and inner trolls it’s amazing anything comes out at all. Yesterday the girls were home and we made homemade playdough and psinted it was lovely and rewarding but f**k the mess ! The endless cleaning needed to provide that bit of space for them to feel free . So in general I don’t really judge myself for my messy shed it’s part of the process I say but when you stand on crystals and wands at every turn you know you need to change.

I’m forever feeling like I’m behind, but perhaps I need to stop judging myself quite so much by the state of my shed and look at the output instead ?🥴Anyway, here’s instragram v the reality but my desk is looking very twinkly now but I just can’t walk backwards !

Spent the morning tucked away in the shed putting together these spooky potion boxes, all the while these ghostly shaggy ink caps keep popping up outside . It’s starting to feel very magical around here !

Yay October ! Even though it’s 17 degrees outside 😵‍💫it’s still my favourite month of all. The mushrooms are up, the woods are getting darker, and everything feels just a little more magical.
Ive been a right silent sally of late but I’m starting afresh now - Samhain potions are coming back and I’m working on an Irish folklore fairy kit too.

I’d also really love to bring some of you into the woods with me. I’m thinking of giving away a potion-making workshop for a small group of children collecting, mixing, making and generally getting very muddy
- Would your little ones like something like that? Xx

I’ve completely slid off the face of the web for the last month while other creative ventures took over but I am looking forward to stepping back into my magical potioning world for October (aka the absolute best month of the year ).
Against all odds, I just managed to get September’s Moon Mail sent out before the month ran out! Massive thank you to everyone who subscribed for your patience, and an extra special shoutout to the little witches who have written back to me. 💌
I introduced a new postcard in last month’s batch, and receiving replies filled with witchy names, homemade potions, paintings, and life updates has completely melted my heart. I often joke that Moon Mail is my expensive hobby, but I love doing it because it feels so much more like an art project than a business, and for better or worse, that’s where my soul truly lies.
This interactive connection between the kids and me gives this work so much meaning. Knowing it holds even a tiny bit of magic and importance in their world keeps me going.
Thank you for staying with me while I kept afloat. 🍂✨ MoonMail
