Twin Flame Sacred Reunion

In my shop, Tlala Handcrafted Blessings, I offer a number of very special clear quartz points which have been charged in the presence of twin flame reunion. I would like to explain a little more about what this means.

As stones have always been a gateway my mate and I are very familiar with, and which we naturally have come to read & channel, we began to realize that some of the quartz points in our home were ready to reach out to others and pass on the frequency of our reunification work to others to help guide them through a process, that while remarkably magical, can also pose challenging and confusing as it takes place.

 

Terminated Quartz points are ideal for amplifying energy, carrying information and programming with personal intention. These quartz crystal points are introduced to the twin flame reunification frequency through their association with my partner and myself (and the entire network of similar collective consciousness we access together on a multidimensional scale).

We add our intention to the final necklace to bring about similar shifts in the vibration of the person it meets, to open a gateway of recognition for their true twin flame to enter. We extend this intention to allow a smoother transition than ours has been, with the added wisdom we have received and wish to pass on.

An initial water blessing of your twin flame necklace will help stabilize the stone pendant and your personal intention with the stone itself. I recommend wearing these necklaces when you jump into creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes and run through a rain storm.

Though it takes some courage, I have decided it is important to share some of my personal story.

Shambala Mushrooms and Sacred Scents

Well, it has been a while since my last entry in blog land. The fall brought much prosperity to follow the fantastic fig harvest. As the fruit trees lost their leaves new friends poked their head through the debris....MUSHROOMS! I've been hunting these extra planetary creatures by riverside, through Manzanita rabbit trails and over snow-caped peaks. We make mushroom soup, mushroom pies, mushroom eggs... mushrooms are coming out my ears and my eyes!

 And while season changes bring all sorts of new transitions and changes, so too does my shop inventory shift.

 I'm still creating energetically savvy stone jewelry, and tiddling around with gold-paper and other faery commodities, but there is something noteworthy in particular I'd like to share here.

Regarding the developement of my first perfume line. I've been creating quality fragrances for myself for many years, and even gifted (which much excitement) some unique blends to friends. But now, for the first time, I've put these splendid wonders into tiny propylene mushroom pots.

Some ingredients I even prepare myself. Like my homemade vannilla extract. I soak the fresh, organic, vanilla bean pods in 80-100 proof vodka in a brown jar for a full moon cycle.

Then, as I prepare to combine ingredients like rose and jojoba oils into cacao butter and beeswax I use the purest source of heat, a woodfire!

Once all my precious scents are combined and carefully poured into their Mushroomy containers, I infuse the blend with extra Shambala wisdom handed down through our stone friends and crystal beings.

This process creates and absolutely original blend combining warm winter fragrance with pure and tender energy. This is the namesake of my 2012 Winter Sacred Scents line.

 

Find this solid perfume at my shop, and ENJOY!!!

Janome of my Own

This little bag (fully reversible!) was made on my new sewing machine.

My first creation, reversible handbag

High quality thread

I began sewing when I was in Jr. High. It was that awkward age when nothing seems to fit well, and kids are the most critical about it too. So I began amending the nice clothing (to my Mother's chagrin) I acquired on 'back to school' sales at JC Penny with my Mother's 1970s pea green machine. I have been struggling, enticing, bribing, praying and crying with that machine ever since. Turns out, I have sewing skills, and now the necessary machine to prove it!

Janome Magnolia Model Sewing Machine

Now, perhaps you know nothing about brand new sewing machines, what to get, how much they cost, but I was vaguely disappointed and entirely discouraged when I discovered the logistics. When I asked my sew happy friends what machine to get, the unanimous response was a Janome. The only sewing machine supply store is 20 miles out of town, so I called ahead and checked out a video of their least expensive model online. I was made aware that my current budget had to be a joke. However, lucky me with a birthday coming and a skill set to hopefully make back the price, it happened despite financial thresholds and I've never had this much fun with textile fuzz flying around my brain and out my nose.

Finished product with original tags

Womanly Roots pads Moon pads

 

My first plan of action was to use some of the awesome retro fabrics lying around in my Grandmother's unfinished dress collection (her sewing machine was one step beyond my Mother's in that it smoked when I tried to use it).

hand cut patterns

I create all my own patterns with a large roll of newsprint I acquired with some determination at the local paper when I was thirteen years old. For sentimentality I use the box of needles left by my grandmother.

 

The inner four layers of the moon pad are cotton flannel and thin corduroy for extra absorbancy. 

A variety of stitching embellishments

My darling new machine comes with a variety of lovely stitches that both strengthen and embellish the pad with pretty patterns in contrasting colors.




These pads are made with the intention to last a long time so that you get your moneys worth and help the environment too. No more messy trash and landfill contributions.

With Wings!
