The Fantastic Flamingo Fairy

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

It’s Labor Day here in the United States and, once again, it finds me at work preparing for sharing the Bluebird Fairies studio with all who stop by during Burlington’s South End Art Hop which begins this Friday September 9th and goes through Sunday.

I’m SO excited! When I last wrote, you met the Weaving Fairy. Well, a few days ago, the first warp I’ve woven in over 8 years was cut from my loom and the fabric I created was revealed. The first thing that leapt out was a project I’ve been envisioning ever since my floaty toy popped at the lake. Here’s a fairy inspired by the creation:

A pink flamingo with white wings floats in blue waves. A hat with green and gold is on its head. A red background eases on either side into yellow. Speech bubbles hold the flamingo's words "I will support emotional ease with slow movements and ease."

Now, that’s a pretty amazing fairy, isn’t it? Just wait till you get to end of this post and see what inspired it!! And…if you’re really excited, I bet you’ll find your way to Bluebird Fairies during Art Hop or after to meet the creation.

So, do find me! I love chatting about new and old fairies and all the other drawings that come out of my non-dominant hand drawing technique.

The Art Hop folks suggested we have some offerings at our studios.

Here’s what I’m offering:

Saturday between 11-1 I’ll be doing multiple performances of my 5-minute Crankie Show, “Accomplishing Big Things”.

On Sunday between 11:30-1:30 I’ll be conducting The Inner Goose Certification Workshop. If you haven’t experienced it before, it’s a short interactive event that uses facts, actions and lessons about geese to emphasize good community practices.

Throughout Art Hop we’ll be having a sale on Magic Fairy Decks. These decks are just $25 and, well, they’re magic!

Looking forward to seeing you!!!

Love

Emily, the Bluebird Fairies, and this fantastic, yet to be named, woven flamingo.

Weaving our Lives

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this finds you well.

In the Bluebird Fairies studio, I have begun to weave on the loom my grandmother gave me many years ago. Weaving is what first brought me to the South End Arts District of Burlington. The fairies joined me here. It’s nice that all the projects can coexist here.

Weaving is, especially during these very light filled summer days, an apt metaphor for living a full and enriching life. Here’s a fairy to cheer us on with that:

A smiling fairy with outstretched arms. A red heart is prominent on her chest behind which is the gold bodice of her dress which has a green and brown checked skirt. She proclaims in two speech bubble, "It's all coming together."

Summer is a time of many projects. I hope you have been enjoying yours! I look forward to sharing some of ours at Art Hop which is just around the corner, September 9-11.

Until you hear from us again, please, take a some quiet moments to sit in gratitude for all that is and connect in with the great energy around us.

We are sending you much love,

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies

My Heart Just Keeps On Singing

Hello Friends of Bluebird Fairies,

I hope this blog post finds you well!

In the Northern Hemisphere it’s summer. Today, Brian and I pulled a fairy from our deck to guide us through the summer months and it’s…

Words "Fairy of Oh my heart just keeps on singing" encircled with an ink line are above a red suited fairy with white wings hovering with two speech bubbles on either side saying "oh" and "yeah."

For so many reasons, I feel it’s perfect. I hope you do too.

For more support on strengthening your inner song please check out Lena Stevens’ July forecast which has the themes of Trust and Inner Strength at the Power Path School of Shamanism. You can find it here.

Onward and upward, everyone.

We’re sending you good energy.

Love,

Emily and the Bluebird Fairies

Welcome, Year of the Tiger

As promised, we have some support to bolster your courage.

Gwendolyn Evans and I have recorded your Energy Map for 2022. This video will give you an overall word for the year and for each month, as well as a fairy for the year and each season. I look forward to hearing how these words and fairies work for you.

Gwendolyn and I are available for more insights.

As always, onward and upward with positivity and GRACE.

With much love,

Happy New Year from all of us at Bluebird Fairies

Dear Friends of the Fairies,

I hope this greeting finds you well.

In spite of our northern hemisphere moving into our darker, more reflective months of the year, so many of us have been filled with lots of DOing.

I have found that to be true - lots of DOing and, some it, I’m not sure I even need to be DOing.

I have had time this week to ease up, but then my demons showed up. For those of you unfamiliar with the under story of Bluebird fairies; we’re surrounded by demons. Our goal, though, is to name as many of them as we can. This releases them and gives us antidotes that nourish us. Here’s the demon that showed up for me on that first day of rest.

'Demon of blah what am I doing feelings. Below is a roughly drawn figure with big eyes, nose and mouth. "Antidote: Smile and move forward being present w/ your whole self.'



On that day, my yoga teacher, Emily Garrett of Laughing River Yoga, began class commenting on the many things we might be currently dealing with and then invited us to BE with it all. Here’s a fairy inspired by that comment:

'Fairy of being with it all' A fairy wearing a dress with a bright red heart in its center has their arms outstretched. 3 speech bubbles say 'feel' 'you' 'be with'.




I hope you can BE with it all in easy ways.

I’ll be in touch again with magic words for the year from Gwendolyn’s Cauldron and fairies from our Fairy of the Day App.

Happy new Year.

Love,

Emily and the Fairies
