Another Brighid X-Stitch Update
I haven’t had a lot to say lately, have barely taken time to even read other blogs. I have a terribly heavy heart this past few days, and my mind is reeling as I try to readjust to some things. To say this current situation is “hard” wouldn’t begin to scratch the surface, but it’ll have to do. I have no desire to go into details.
I’ve been trying to hold on to myself through long walks in the woods. I’ve begun my quest to understand all the Celtic trees both through knowledge and practical work, and hopefully will have built my own set of Ogham sticks by the time it is finished. Last night I managed to collect my first, a birch twig, freely given, sitting at the base of a most beautiful tree.
And of course, in times of need, I always find Brighid a great comfort. I’ve been working hard on her cross stitch since I posted my Imbolc update. It’s a month later, so I thought I’d share the progress with you all. Hope everybody’s weeks are going smoothly.

Ryan, so sorry to hear you’ve been feeling so low. Seems to be something going around. Perhaps the cold and darkness of the winter months is getting to all of us. Hopefully our moods will all lighten soon.

sorry to hear that you are still struggling. I enjoy the Celtic tree lore myself. The Ogham sticks and their collection can be of great comfort. It has been for me. There are a few I still need yet when the time is right I am sure I will find them. Hopefully the coming warm weather may help somewhat to lift your spirits. Hang in there

So sorry to hear that things are difficult — I hope that they turn around soon. I love the xstitch — can’t wait to see how it turns out.
