Reiki bags

A easy way of sending distant Reiki is also a quick knit :D If you have Reiki add when knitting this bag, if not get someone with Reiki to send some energies after you finish the bag :D
To use place a charged crystal or stone in it ( intend it to send healing Reiki energies ) add names on slips of paper of who you would like to send to.

This is a loose knit bag, and works well with hanging of herbs.

Don't worry about gauge, needle size or anything lol grab some yarn and whatever you would like to add..... beads are great ;)


Size 6 US dpns or straight either way
K = knit
Sl 1 = slide one stitch purl wise
Yb = yarn back
Yf = yard forward
Yo = yarn over the needle to make new stitch
Cast on an odd number. I used 11 stitches for the purple one and 13 for the eyelash, as long as the count is odd your good to go.
1) *K1, Yf, Sl 1, Yb* to end
2) Sl 1, * K1, Yf, Sl 1, Yb * to end
Continue in this manner until you reach the size you want.
Slide every other stitch on two dpns or stitch holders……. next place them in the proper position to begin knitting again

K1, Yo to last st. k1
Bind off, weave in ends.
Cord
I made a simple crochet chain stitch of varying lengths for each. Some I used plain yarn, just threaded through…..add some beads.....mix it up to create your own look:D

Sad times



Monday we had to say goodbye to our Boo.....yes she was old and failing in health, it was time.....then why can't I stop crying......

We were able to be with her as she passed......

She was a crazy doggie, we will miss her so much


We got her from the pound, some one had carved some letters into her belly, she was only a few weeks old.....left her with a bit of an attitude, but she would let us rub her belly :D


Buffy was the third dog we've lost in as many months......all were old and lived good happy life's......but I tell ya this sucks.....I miss my girls

Rainy Day

Rain WOO HOO YIPPEE
we got enough to water the garden and cool things off :D......it's been a very dry couple of years, I for one have had enough of climate change...global warming whatever term you want to use........things could go back to "normal" anytime now..........
Brent got the green house done, now a few shelves and we're good to go, worked out very nicely....gives just enough shade in late afternoon that we should be able to plant that area now too :D


Our sunflowers are opening I love this shot it makes Nostradamus look so small in the background lol


He's upset that I'm on the outside of the fence and he's not poor guy.....he did get to go for a walk after this shot :) he was even playing in the rain with us :D

Playing with beads

I've always loved playing with beads, and have been doing just that:D
No patterns or set idea, just having fun.
The top is made with seed beads
this one has a few 4mm Swarovski bicone crystals added around the center.
The photos did not come out that great, it turns out taking photos of beads is about as easy as taking knitting photos ;)
I worked these free hand. Just a bit of thread needle and beads.
Now back to knitting :D

random post

Our next masters workshop is coming up quick :D I can not even begin to say how much Reiki has changed my life. I am so happy we can bring this wonderful energy to others :D



The whole garden has a wonderful smell from all the roses, rosemary and sage it's so nice. Our yellow rose bush gives off a softer scent, just enough to make things sweet without being blown away.



The sunsets are always a sight to see around here, but with all the wild fires burning there's more color than ever.......

striped shawl


Another prayer/healing shawl.
I used the same over all pattern as shawl idea with stripes that progressively get larger. I wanted just a bit of eyelash on the very end, to make up for the size difference in yarn I ( k2, yo ) to the end then cast off.
