Earth Day Blog Hop 2013

So I am part of Leslierahye's Earth Day Blog Hop and thought I would share a few upcycled crafts that me and the girls have done in the past few weeks. First, I made the girls yoga pants out of tshirts. Just in time for our Kid's Yoga & Hoop Session.

 

Then we made these t-shirt hip scarves, for our Red Tent's Maiden Day where they learned belly dancing.

 

I know my pictures are dark but here is the inspiration picture.

 

 The yoga pants, I got the idea from Crafters.org and the hip scarves I had to google instructions as the link on pinterest was dead. I hope you have found some new ideas on upcycling shirts. Please drop by anytime, I plan to have more frequent posts soon.

  Oh and if you go check out my Facebook page & leave a comment there is a chance you can win a customized item from me! (U.S residents only) https://www.facebook.com/#!/CelticdragonflysUpcycledHandmadeDesigns

Catching Up on the Past Year

Blessings Readers,

Wow, I can not believe it has been over a year since I last posted. So here is what has been going on. First, personal stuff: Things have been kind of up & down, I lost my connection for awhile due to some conflicts that came up with the splitting of my group. My grandma (g-ma) is in & out the hospital and that has been hard on me. I did not get into the Radiology Program last Fall so I have been focusing my classes to broaden my expand of programs. I'm applying to the Medical Assistant Program this summer and will apply to the Sonography & reapply to the Radiology Programs in the Fall. Other news is that my youngest sister, Megan recently had her 2nd little boy, Kaleb Zane T.

(Picture was from Easter)

Also my other sister, Brandi is due May 5th with her 4th child, 3rd boy, Mavrik Cruz. Speaking of Pregnancy & Birth...I have been working harder to lose the weight I need to lose to have the reversal surgery, yoga has been really helpful as well as the walking group I have joined. I still have a ways to go as I have to save up the money for it. I am waiting on hearing from the Veteran's Affairs on my reevaluation & whether I will get my backpay, so we shall see.

 

My daughters, A & T; are doing well in school this year. A has really taken an interest in Yoga, as well as hooping & belly dancing; which all go hand in hand. Here is a picture of her doing the tree pose at our Red Tent's Maiden Day.



I am still quite busy with school, my groups & my family. I have to reevaluate my activities every few months to see what works or not. I turn 30 next month and there are some things I still want to try, like Roller Derby. I am still running NE Houston Broom & Brew and here are a few things we have done since last March.

July's Swap n Trade

January's Swap n Trade

Ostara Egg Hunt

Runes Workshop (April 2013)

 

And our most exciting news:

 

Other than all that from B&B, I have also been doing Red Tent, trying to get my Pins & Needles (stitching circle) going, and recently became a Mom's Ambassador for greenmomsmeet.com. I am currently doing some rearranging so that I can include Family & Friends game night, Kids Yoga & Hoop, Kids Crafting, Adult Yoga and other stuff.

 

Well I think we are all caught up & I hope to share some more soon. Oh I will have an upcoming blog post on a upcycled project for an Earth Day Blog Hop. Until next time...

 

Peek into the past few months

I know, I know I say I'm going to come back but who knew being in school, running a local Broom & Brew, and working for an online school/coven could be so much work. I'm putting off doing my Pharmacology homework because I wanted to share a few things since the last time I posted. First in January we had a combined meet n greet with another local group and had a Pagan Swap & Trade.  

In February we had our first Workshop, unfortunately it was on the same day as the superbowl. 

 Then we had our Ostara Egghunt last Sunday at our Broom & Brew Meet n Greet. 

We also have a smaller group that meets every other Tuesday; we made prosperity charms and the next day I won a book from Moon Books.

and here lately I've had an interest in sea witchery and I made two sea jars.

Last little thing I want to share is the online eclectic school/ coven that I help with. It's called Circulo de la Luna Oscura (Circle of the Dark Moon). We have an open page on Facebook here. We hold classes on our Student Center page and also on http://www.mocospace.com/ (have to create an account & add luna_dragon).

Oh and here is Ares; he is 6 months old now and will be getting his naming ritual and Blessing from Bastet soon.

Blessed Yule

I want to wish everyone a Blessed Yule and to post a few things.

Here is my new little niece, Mila!

And my cousin's little boy, Eli.

My cat, Erebos disappeared and now I have a new little cat who is 3 months today. His name is Ares.





I have finished my second semester of school, with 3 A's and 1 B. I have a lot of other things going on around here but one of my goals is to catch back up with all of y'all. I hope I have not lost my followers because I have a lot of sharing to do. Until next time...

Brightest Blessings!

I wanted to share a few things with y'all today. Some of y'all may remember that I started up a local meetup a year ago; people have come and gone due to some clashing but I have gotten to know a great bunch of people. I am very grateful to be friends with Angie from The Balanced Witch who preformed a Handfasting for me back on Beltaine, as well as Woodwife Green from The Cottage in the Thicket. Angie is also the one who created the SE Texas Pagans Page on Facebook, where I am one of the administrators.

As of last week, my group has changed its name from Wyrd Brew and has joined the branching of Mrs. B's Broom & Brew Pagan Meetup( you can find a current list here). Our new name is NE Houston Broom & Brew. We are a family-friendly group, who meets socially in public places. We have just started a book club and a Pagan-friendly playgroup (& in contact with the local Spiral Scouts). We are in the process of planning workshop/classes, some which include Runes, Soap Making, and Candle Making. Also craft nights, potlucks and adult nights. We also have some fieldtrips, which include the Houston Pagan Pride Day, Pioneer Day and ect.

I also wanted to share today that I will be back to blogging, I have missed it and all of my followers. Until I post again...
