This weekend I laid out all the parts of my quilt on the bed to think about where I would fit the rest of the sections I’m working on. I got so much help taking mediocre pics …

Another moon among the quilted stars. I’m doing these in between other sections so I don’t get bored. #slowstitching #handstitching #handembroidery

A finished moon on the coverlet: one of many! #handembroidery #handstitching

If you see this (and want to!) quote post 5 things that make you happy: 1. My wife 2. My friends 3. Walks in the woods or on the beach 4. Stitching 5. The cozy quartet: cool weather, hot tea, soft blankets, and a sleeping cat.

Today’s stitching: adding moons to the star panel for my coverlet. #slowstitching #handstitching #handembroidery #quiltmaking

Remember, if someone asserts that your weekend plans of reading a good book, drinking multiple cups of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of scones “doesn’t sound exciting”, then they are simply not the friend you thought they were.

I’m on vacay and mostly avoiding the internet but I had to show y’all my finished crow! She will go on a huge eclectic quilt I’m working on. #slowstitching #handstitching #handembroidery

#SciArtSeptember Day 8: niche • A stem-cell niche is a microenvironment where stem cells are found. Here's my autumnal mitosis sampler of a human reproductive cell (2024). #SciArt #embroidery

If you, like me, are highly sensitive, especially to the moods of the people around you, this meditation might help - especially now when most of us are deeply troubled. This isn't a new post but it feels relevant in these times. pnwmichelle.com/2025/02/07/e... #energywork #witchcraft #witchsky

Heading to the coast tomorrow for a few days with friends ... pondering the important questions, how many craft projects and tarot decks are enough for three days away? 😆

Good morning #Witches. Check out this week's video. Three nights of autumn moon magic: spells, rituals, and deep seasonal witchcraft. From the Dark Moon to the New Moon and the crescent’s first light, discover how to release, divine, and bless this season. #Witchsky #MoonMagic youtu.be/p9rYcHLhqJI

A crow flew nearby. “Hello, Crow,” shouted Toad.

Literally 3 minutes after I posted this, the neighbors unleashed their smol human, who loved to scream, and started using a power saw. I guess I’ll be closing that window and watching Sleepy Hollow after all. Ah, suburbia. At least you are predictable.

I made it to the bed. But it’s weirdly quiet in the neighborhood this afternoon, so I’m leaving the Tv off while the hush lasts.

Crow progress! Getting closer! #slowstitching #handstitching #handembroidery

True Facts. Full Stop.

Did y'all know I've published a novella? Briar is a story of being other, of loving the enchanted thorns more than the enchanted princess, of becoming something not everyone understands. Available on Kindle and many other indie ebook platforms: books2read.com/u/4X2Jz5

Sunday morning, and I have murderous cramps. On the upside, I don't have to do anything in particular today, so I plan to spend a lot of it in bed watching my favorite witchy/Halloweeny movies and stitching. Also drinking ALL THE TEA. Hope you're having a lovely weekend friends.

Oh fun! Post some art you made before Bluesky: my favorite spirit doll ever, The Thorn Witch, who I wish I had kept!

I'm having a MONTH y'all. An expensive month. Which reminds me I don't know if I've shared that my commissions are currently open for spirit dolls, lovely knitted things, and lovely stitched things. I can work with most budgets. My portfolio in case you're curious! pnwmichelle.com/portfolio/

How wonderrful is she?

Never let anyone dim your shine ✨ #greenwitchtea #greenwitch #harmnone #animism #peace #love #kindness #selflove

I haven't done any knitting in ages, but I've been thinking maybe it's time to make some more of my goddess dolls. Though I've knitted more than I can count, I don't actually have one of my own? How did I let THAT happen? #knitting #artdoll #spiritdoll #goddessdoll

Today’s crow progress! I’m alternating the crow stitching with more double friendship star piecing. #slowstitching #handstitching #handembroidery

Started stitching a crow yesterday … I plan to fill her in with a variety of stitches. #handstitching #slowstitching #embroidery

I'm not great at fabric piecing, but I love the way it looks, so I'm practicing. These are wonky of course BUT I did actually make them two different sizes on purpose. #slowstitching #handstitching #handquilting

Stitching reminds me that tiny, slow steps still move us toward our goals. Magic, too, is like this. There’s nothing wrong with big, grand magical workings if that’s your jam. But for me, whispering spells into my stitching feels right. Whispering spells over my food feels right.

Name 5 albums that had the biggest impact on your life: Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Loreena McKennitt - The Book of Secrets Agnes Obel - Aventine Ani DiFranco - Little Plastic Castle Hozier - Hozier Only 5? Really? 😆🎶

In less than one month, it’ll officially be fall.

Oooh fun! Quote with your yellow art:

I love the way the quality of light is reflecting the seasonal shift. Coming back to a place often, noticing what is happening and what it feels like can help you notice the magic and spirits of place and become aware of when points of liminality occur. Thank you for posting SubRosa. #WitchSky

I just finished reading Chime by Franny Billingsley. It's been a long time since a story got under my skin so thoroughly and had me feverishly reading to find out how it would end. I can't say more without spoilers but it's now high on my list of favorite witchy books. #witchsky #bookrecommendations

You ever make something and just love it so much that you want to make a thousand more? Yeah me too. #slowstitching #BabaYaga #rusticart

I've been longing for fall since the first of July ... so much that I've thought about making ANOTHER journal using my Autumn Corvids printable pages even though I already made one ... in my Ko-fi shop, pay what you want! ko-fi.com/s/ca67df348d

Once upon a time I was part of a small coven. We met at my BFF's house and started our workings after her children went to bed. That was when I learned the power of whispering in witchcraft. I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned more! #witchsky #witchcrart

Tonight the Black Moon passes overhead, a lantern extinguished, a threshold unmarked. To step here is to trust that unseen roots still know how to grow, that the dark itself is only the first note of the song. As the cosmos hold its breath, what will you call into the dark? #witchsky

Lately I’m very preoccupied with stitching magic into my projects. With each stitch I whisper my intention over the piece, and as I finish off each section of thread the intention is sealed into the cloth. It’s deeply satisfying, potent work. #witchsky #fiberart #slowstitching

🤣🤣🤣 #witchmadness #witchsky #witchhumor #funny

Me waiting for Halloween. Still 73 days.. 🍂🎃🍂 #Witchsky #Halloween

Currently reading Becoming Baba Yaga by Kris Spisak, and it's a fascinating look at the lore surrounding this infamous witch/goddess/badass. Are you reading anything wonderfully witchy that you would recommend? #witchbooks #witches #witchsky

I have something fun for y'all this morning: a little printable PDF of quotes about witches and witchcraft from movies, television shows, books, and songs. Download for free or buy me a coffee: ko-fi.com/s/6fb24332a9

Something cool like that 😂

OMGs I love this so much

Did someone say #caturday?

My love for Brandi Carlile is no secret, and of course I've heard songs from The Highwomen before, BUT. Somehow I never heard this until today and holy shit ... I have chills now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D-6...

Oh yes, this is every good book for me! 📖 🦄 #greenwitchtea #greenwitch #tea #books #learning #reading #library #librarian #sciencefiction #fantasy #truth #fact #myth #legend #joy

Saturdays in my studio are for experimenting and play, and today I'm experimenting with stitched protection charms. I can't wait to get the design finalized so I can share them with y'all #witchsky #witchcraft #stitchcraft

I love doing design work from time to time, mostly for my own projects. I made a version of these pages to create a journal for a dear friend. There are 10 pages total, ready to print. In my Ko-fi shop, pay what you want. ko-fi.com/s/95f59f34fc
