My New Scarf

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been teaching myself to knit on a long loom. I started out the project thinking that it sounded fun, but would probably end just like every other craft project I’ve started in the last few years – half-finished, in the closet. However, with the help of a couple of great videos and a little trial and error, I ended up loving the process. And here’s the finished project!

    I love your hair, I wish I could pull off short hair. Great scarf, btw. 🙂

      Thanks on both counts! I wasn’t so sure about pulling off short hair either, but I’ve been seeing the same stylist for years, and she’s a miracle worker 🙂

      BTW, thanks for being the first to comment since the blog got moved over to WP.org. I was a little afraid that there was something wrong and no one could find me, so thanks for proving me wrong!

        Oh yeah, I meant to also remark on how great the blog looks. 🙂

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
