New blog post over on the Hive: "This weekend @vincentnijman and I have been in Guardia Sanframondi sorting out the Arthouse – meeting with some altri stranieri, with a view to accessing a wider audience for it now that we are absolutely sure we want to sell it. So this makes organising the last of my belongings which are here, vital: putting our energies into the clearout, which involves a very large collection of lovely materials that have cumulated this past 1.5 decades." https://ecency.com/hive-127911/@clareartista/tweed-shorts-redemption

Looking forward very much to sharing a #needleworkmonday post tomorrow on the Hive blog - my first in a couple of weeks, since we've been in chaos confronted by the winter, on our not-ready-to-live-in-yet abode! So glad to be sheltering back in Guardia Sanframondi temporarily, getting some sewing done, and organising (hopefully) the sale of the Arthouse! #slowfashion #homemade #handmade #houseforsaleitaly

Merry Christ Mass, dear friends on Nostr 🌟🥰❤️‍🔥🙏💝 Here's my latest sharing around these sacred days and long nights, on our sovereign homestead ⭐🌟⭐ "Then a moment shines brightly, like the crystal clear skies above us speckled with countless stars, as we nip outside after midnight for a pee. Every time I do this, the awe of being under this clear dark majesty calls me back to myself: my mystical Self. I am no longer the simpleton limping out of the back door in cumbersome slippers that are getting caked in mud and grass – suddenly I am reminded of who the Higher Self is, as the night sky seems to implode inside of me, instantaneous vibrational downloads coming in from all directions." https://ecency.com/hive-114308/@clareartista/the-only-way-is-up #naturallaw #slowliving #freedomisearnedbylivingit

Super-challenge of the day on our #sovereignhomestead: covering the (most) leaking side of the roof, before the next rains - which are beginning imminently! #waterproof #temporarysolutions #rainfreehome

"All in all, this ‘house’ it is not particularly safe or secure. But it is ours. And this is the most important thing for us. Why? Because anything else is bound in others’ energies, contractions, vision – and the wider vision of the mainstream. Whereas being on our own land in our own building – no matter what – is a vastly easier and more energising space to be in. Though many of us have not noticed, mainstream humanity is on a very rapid downwards spiral: the quality of life, value of benefits and privileges, the very health of nations, the mental health especially, is all descending. It is more noticable every day, to folks like us - who avoid cities in general and groups of humans in particular – that ‘conventional’ life is becoming more restrictive, toxic, and degraded/ degrading."
