distracted by sparkly things since 1969

Hello Loves!

circus-contraptions.jpg

Welcome to Magpie Girl! I’ve been longing to get this page up since Jen and I went away to our cozy cabin by the sea to indulge in a non-stop week of artmaking. Here you will find various and sundry written thoughts (most of which will be half formed) recommendations of things i love, and items for sale, handmade by moi.

I’m still doing the triple-threat job of mother/artist/community hostess, so you can expect me to post here only about once a week. Do be a love and put me on your RSS reader (or whatever that thing is that tracks all your favorite blogs and lets you know when there’s something new.) I’ll still be blogging about the life of our soulcare community over at Monkfish Abbey and pop I in now and again with parenting advice over at Minti.

I want to extend a HUGE thanks to my dear husband, Paul, who spent all of last weekend and a good many afterwork hours this week getting this site up and running. Smack, to you bub!

Mmmmm….now that we’re all here in this yummy new space, why don’t you drop me a little comment as a blogwarming gift! Thanks for reading!

Rachelle

Happy Blogwarming Magpie Girl! How great to see the fruits of your creativity. I have been working on a brand new website for myself too, so you have me eager to finish it up! Blessings to you my friend. May you have hours upon hours filled with creative delights and sparkly things.

Congrats! Me gusto mucho. Hey since I’m on the topic of Spanish…Magpie Girl is Chica Picaza, and remember the “z” says “sss”. Long live the magpie!

Hello, I’m a regular blog lurker of yours who enjoys your blog immensely (urban abbess). I think I found you through searching “new monasticism” I thought it was neat that our names are the same. : ) I’ll be checking this siteas well now! Congrats.
Peace, Love and Unity.

You are THE BEST! I’ve been secretly checking over here since you mentioned at MA/UA that you were using the magpie girl url. I’m excited for you!

Very nice. sparkly things are fun, and sometimes dangerous. I think I might have one very tiny artistic bone somewhere in my body. Maybe. My lovely Megan, on the other hand–she makes up for my lack in this area.
