On my birthday I am going to indulge myself in dream manifestation in writing my blog and on the radio show-the free on-air reading I give away today will be for ME-lol!! I want to write and talk about the move to NC to my perfect 1 room cabin / off grid homestead, back to Eden blended with biodynamic /cottage witch gardening-living simply-frugally-cash only-no debt... making everything -slow living- , mindfullness- my mystery school, meetups and classes upcoming- healing circles and simple abundance!
I am an ubber Virgo- and my birthday is TODAY-Aug 23 2012!
I am moving in a few weeks to Western NC- an area I lived in for over a quarter of a century and where my heart has called me home-to settle in a FOREVER place!
Since I was 16 and came across a wonderful abandoned 1 room cottage while out riding my horse in the country-I have longed for a 1 room cabin! I was able to walk in the cabin and see how wonderfully it was laid out-I found out later the old old lady that had lived there had passed away several years previous and the cabin had been built for her by her son so she could live close by him when she got older and needed assistance ...you could still feel the presence of her loving energy!
*********
*********
Now that I am abit older and my children are grown-I can look to having my very own 1 room cabin!
Now this will only be my FT residence for the 1st year of the move- once my husbands construction management job is finished up North he will be moving down to NC w me permanently -then we are building a 3 or 4 room cabin for us...it will have solar and wind generated energy.. for my 1 room cabin-I want to be basically electromagnetic free!
I am going to live a year of haul more water-chop more wood!
I will never leave that life it will simply shift abit once hubby is down South FT-he energetically takes up TOO much space for a simple 1 room cabin !
After he moves down I will be using the 1 room cabin as my work space- artist studio and get away from everything PT residence- sacred retreat and healing space. Still mine all mine!!
*********

I have the typical rose covered cottage-with a picket fence all the way around and a gated trellis to walk into my space- following the Ancient Celtic Axiom-"All who enter this space shall feel the Enchantment of a time removed from time!"
My cottage has the proper front porch with a swing and 2 white rocking chairs...lots of window boxs-every window will have a window box-and deep ledges inside for growing flowers and herbs!
I have a love for old fashioned English Cottage Gardens-over spilling with life and flower faeries!
*********
Interplanted amongst the flowers you will find vegetables and herbs . Bushes are either be exquisetely beautiful and fragrant OR edible/medicinals .Trees in the yard are nuts and fruits!

We have the old fashioned outhouse with the Moon Cutout-but the path to it is flower strewn and laid out in stone and the solar composting outhouse is painted inside and out with fresh and inviting colors!
We have a solar shower built for warm weather outdoor showers! It only takes a gollon of water to shower once trained in how to do so- and the water is heated in black jugs-ready for use! Just refill when done so the next person can have a warm shower too!

A smoke house to preserve meats like smoke hams and bacon and to make smoked trout and salmon- venison jerky and such... YUM! ALSO- when we wish to make long cooked smoked pork barbecue, smoked turkey and chickens for our Sacred Feast HolyDays!
We are raising our own meat animals and these processed in a sacred manner as the Native Americans-Muslims and Jewish folks practice...honoring the life force,causing no fear or pain- prayerfully and respectfully.
*********

I have a hen house for eggs- and be raising meat chickens. We intend to make some nice chicken tractors and also to let them out during the day to FREE RANGE for natural pest control in the garden and for some HAPPY hens!
We have milk goats and a jersey milk cow for all our RAW dairy needs- homemade cheese,butter and yoghurt-clabbered cream for our morning steel cut oatmeal!!
We raise meat and angora rabbits for wool - along with selling heirloom varieties of bunnies . They are great placed over a worm bed and the worms are great for the garden and to sell to fishermen!
We have a seperate fenced in herb bed -these are w the 3 bee hives!
I have an old fashioned laundry line ,tool shed and such... all structures will take into account-standing for hundreds of years, being lovely(I am an artist) and of a practical ,imminently useful nature!

INSIDE my 1 room cabin-come on up to the front porch- 3 steps-1,2,3,-cross the wood slatted floor and by the rockers on the left and the swing on the right-please leave shoes at front door! See that little stand made just for the shoes-Yes there!
1st enter through the hand made slammy screen door-you remember that sound from summers past!! Insert of the door is a hand carved triskette-my sacred symbol of choice! Representing Sacred Water-Divine Feminine-the Life blood of Mother Earth!

Front door is open to the East as is traditional in NA beliefs. Opening to the Morning Sun!
Off to your far left is the kitchen wall- 16 feet wide- with a small propane cook stove- a cold water sink w Victorian style hand pump- and then a propane small fridge - in front of of the sink is a nice big butcher block table w over head pot rack .Instead of cupboards -above will be hand crafted sheliving and dish storage -below will be curtained shelving . I plan to have a nice large greenhouse type window here for growing herbs and looking out of doors when doing dishes .
Notice dishes are all hand crafted pottery brightly painted, glasses are canning and jelly jars and pots are either copper or cast iron with some poecelein french cookware as well...we use no paper products in the kitchen here-hand towels or proper clothe napkins please!

Water for winter washing body,daily dishes and home keeping will be heated on the stove and water used in a mindful no waste manner! Multi using water because - I will use a low suds /little as possible soap - all the soap I use will be non toxic /organics and can be used to water plants.

As you came into the cabin directly in front of you is a small square hand crafted table w 3 chairs- backed up to a 40's inspired overstuffed sofa - the back wall there is my wood stove.
I have chosen a wood stove that allows me to see the fire,that has 2 burners on top and an oven for baking! Heat,cooking,water heating all in 1 !!! On the left oof the woodstove is my big ole hand made antique wooden rocker- on the right side sitting cata cornered is my plush overstuffed reading chair and ottoman- there are a few tables with lanterns for evening lighting and my coffee stable is an antique trunk-filled with hand made quilts for guests and covering legs when reading!

OF COURSE-this space is shared with my doggy/familiar- Puffer the Heart Healer and My 2 Orange Tabby Male Kitties- Kitty Khatt and Phatt Boy! Love -LOVE-Love.. sweet pets! Swinging door escape for the pets potty needs -no more litter box!! Yeah!!

Beside the woodstove on the kitchen side is a french door going out to the screened in back porch -on the right side is a large built in book case! Lots of reading around here! Not only books about holistic and energy healing,crystals, shamanism,witchcraft,herbaslism, homesteading ,wildcrafting,biodynamic gardening ,beekeeing,candle and soap making,et-etc... but also ALL of Agatha Christies Mysteries and some other culinary types of mysteries...

So NOW look on the far right wall- this is my personal bed nest! The mattress is OF COURSE QUEEN sized-for the Queen Bee-lol! I the center is a sumptuously curtained and pillowed -SEXY sumptious-GYPSY style- built in bed with drawers underneath- a large window with deep window ledges for coffee cups, flowers,herbs and books- a built in book shelf at feet and head-of course above the area I need to prop up w pillows! Shelves will hold not only books-but crystals , photoes and statues that make me FEEL GOOD... happy,happy,happy!
Since this is a 16 foot wall -we have the bed centered and on either side we have a small walk in closet area- 4 ft by 6 ft approx each- 1 for clothes and other storage -the other for a wash stand /dressing area and for the nighttime chamber potty!
Last but not least of the furniture-on the front window side- is a small roll top desk and ladder back chair-the 4th from the little antique dining set!

We have an attic space accessed by a pull down staircase- for herb drying ,apple drying and such
Below the cabin accessed by a trap door under the hand woven, kitchen rug - is an old fashioned root cellar.
My screened in back porch is just as pretty as everything else here- with white wicker furniture and lots of English inspired FLOWERY patterns on the cushions-leaning toward bright happy yellows , sagey greens, faded pinks and soft blues ...loads of plants - a great place to snap beans, to do readings on the phone and sip tea! Deep Southern porchs are hand made to enjoy the out of doors on our hot days and sexy ,sultry nights!
