Happy Samhain!

Merry meet! I hope this holiday finds everyone well. We have seen a lot changes around the "kitchen". There has been tons of sewing for all the costume events, and for our recent hand-fasting. We had a perfect October day for a beautiful ritual. I dare say that my non-pagan family members did not expect such a ceremony. However, it was truly beautiful and everyone thought so, regardless of religious affiliation.

And, on a sad note, a few months ago my beloved black cat passed. Moonie was a loving cat, to me, and she has been very missed. She was getting on in years, as she was going on 10 years old. She was an indoor cat, however she expressed a wish to sit on the deck in her last few weeks of life. She didn't show any signs of anything being wrong until the final day or two, and then it was too late. My poor kitty! May she find the Summer Land warm, sunny and full of fluffy pillows just for her.

RIP

Busy, busy, busy

Wow! It's been a long time. It's been a very busy year, so far, and considering it's November already.

I do believe that I have everyone that is interested in the PIF Exchange. If you are one of the people for that, and I haven't contacted you, don't worry, I should be doing that as soon as I can. I'm clearing out a few projects, finishing charity knitting, and help my room mate slowly move out, but the dust should settle soon.

Anywho! I did celebrate Samhain, even if it was small this year. We watched the Ghost Hunter's live special from Waverly Hills, and Katie prepared a pumpkin bread for me. Here's a pic of the offerings, as meager as they were:

The wine is from my mom. It's her 2006 Plum wine, made from Japanese Table plums from the tree in what's left of their small orchard. Too bad that tree is dying off, because it produced some great plums and some awesome wine. I still have a bottle of the 2004 that is waiting for a major life event before I open it.

Ok, if I drop off the face of the Earth (again) for a while, it's because I am finishing the charity knitting and starting my Yule knitting.

Blessed Be!
