staying at Baba Yaga's

Important Crossroad

By now you must think I am a crazy person. Invitations to join bloggers keep arriving and there seems to be no end to the journey. Well, I guess we all knew when we set out that it would take us a long time to get to where we were going. Of course it would help if anyone really knew where we will end up.

The good news is that the final destination is in sight. If you go and check out http://goldenspindle.blogspot.com/ you will learn that everyone is rescued from Koshchey the Terrible and that Baba has set up a special place where folk can gather together the things that they will carry with them in the Caravan that is to set out across the desert to the camp of the Amazon Queen.

When we finally arrive at the Amazon Queen’s Camp you will find it a bustling market place where people set up stalls and trade or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the place. Very exotic it will be. But first we need to pack things. You might put your prize pieces in Baba's Spinning place. You might weave some stories about the whole journey, make postcards, write travel articles, post photographs, display Tarot Cards, post sketches - it is up to you really. I am planning more sketches. My bath-house collection will be quite fetching I think. And then there is my Baba Yaga collection that I have to work on.

Ultimately, like the amazing Bayeux Tapestry which I saw in Bayeux France, we will have a story to tell and that, my dear friends is why we all clambered through that door, journeyed to the Abbey, explored Duwamish, visited the House of Serpents and so on.

Amazing really. Do you think there is another site out there, packed with as many exciting things as we have gathered?

So begin to consolidate, shuffle things around in your cases, prepare to pack, for we have a caravan to catch and miles to travel. Remember however, you do not have to keep up with everything. You are each initiates now so you have nothing to prove to one another or yourself. Just enjoy the adventure now and let what will be, be.

Spinning and new travellers

Hello Folks
While some of us are working hard on Baba's Spinning Wheel there are quite a few folk wandering along the roads of this extraordinary world. Maybe we need to begin thinking about making some maps to show the way. I recall you doing something quite early in the piece Karen. Monika sent me a link and I drooled over this image

There are some wonderful old cartography map sites with gorgeous things on them.

But I digress. It is my intention to have everyone stay here at Baba's for quite awhile. Baba's, as you have all gathered, is quite close, as the raven flies to the Hermitage, Duwamish, the Abbey and the House of Serpents so you can always go and visit those places whenever you like. And we all know those gypsies are camped nearby and the bath-houses in all these places are to die for. So just go on posting, writing, creating postcards, mail whatever takes your fancy really. Carol says she is sewing and I can imagine you embroidering something Leonie. Lois needs to get on with that spinning of stories of women and well, I have many sketches to do and things to write. The party over at Anita Marie's is really heating up and by Halloween we will all be in fancy dress and parading around in our best monster outfits. Too cool.
Now I will look and marvel as the magic happens.
Night now
Heather
