comfort in creation.

Mar 28, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

If I’m being honest, my daily life hasn’t changed as much as so many others in the wake of the pandemic. I’ve never had much tendency to leave the house in the first place; even when I would be exceptionally bored and think, “Maybe I’ll just go to Barnes & Noble and browse for a…

recent reads | winter 2020.

Mar 21, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

I’ve decided that I’m going to do a seasonal wrap up of what I’ve been reading. I won’t review everything, and what I do review won’t be long or particularly “professional” sounding, but I do want to share because I love knowing what others are reading or have read. It’s a great way to find…

ostara intentions.

Mar 14, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

Spring is coming.(Some days, spring already feels like it’s here.) I’m not Wiccan, but as part of my craft, I like to recognize the Wheel of the Year, to observe the changing of the seasons and the way it affects the everyday. This is my first year of actively observing the Sabbats, rather than simply…

the seven of bows.

Mar 07, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

When I flipped the card for day two of the Goddess Tarot Challenge I’m participating in for March, I was genuinely curious what it would tell me. The prompt for the day asked what I needed to focus on to support my inner goddess, and to be honest, I had no real guesses what would…

ode to the coming spring. | a poem

Your toesin the grass growing more lush by daythe deep greenvast before us. (Your first spring.) Crisp eveningsinviting us to sitbeneath the maple trees,your small body growing, curling into sleep in my arms;the fresh air breezesings a lullaby among the leaves. Your eyesfollow the crimson cardinal acrossthe cloudless sky for the first time. My heartis…

trust in a witch.

Feb 22, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

Was it in middle school, when a girl on my bus let me borrow–and ultimately keep–a copy of A Witch’s Guide to Faery Folk? Or maybe it was before that, when I was reading the Circle of Three series in elementary school. I never even finished it until a deep dive on Amazon in college earned me…

in a hole in a ground there lived a hobbit.

Feb 15, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

All right—if I’m honest, I don’t want to live in a hole in the ground, though I’ve heard it can be very efficient in terms of heating and cooling. But I have been realizing more and more lately that a new dream of mine is to, essentially, live like a hobbit. Now, in what I…

sharenting.

Feb 08, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

Before Finn was born, one of the subjects that plagued me was whether or not to post photos of him online. Seemingly everyone I am friends with does it—celebrities do it—and overall it just doesn’t seem like something that would even come to mind among all the other details of having a child. There are…

a quilted christmas gift.

Jan 25, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

About a year and a half ago now I started learning how to quilt thanks to my friend Lydia, and for this past Christmas I made my third completed quilt as a gift for my friend Katie. One thing I love about quilting is the creative opportunity that it presents. Each quilt that I’ve completed…

jan 2020 | current favorite podcasts.

Jan 18, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

In an effort to keep the TV off a little more often, I would say the majority of my time is spent on Spotify listening to either any of a million playlists or, more likely, listening to a podcast. Right after Finn was born, I would keep track of the days of the week by…

Hello there!
I’m Sonya! I like horror movies, knitting, and witchcraft.

Okay, it's August and I only just decided to start Okay, it's August and I only just decided to start using a hobonichi techo avec as a planner journal a la @bybun but I'm okay with this last minute decision. So last night I collaged the cover of the July-December book and listened to @youmustrememberthis during some me time, and I'm still obsessed with how the cover turned out. 😍
DID I splatter my tablet with white paint in the p DID I splatter my tablet with white paint in the process of this art journal spread? Yeah, obviously. That's half the fun.

Waking up two hours early means laying in bed for Waking up two hours early means laying in bed for an hour, finally getting up for coffee and craft time, only for your almost-three-year-old gremlin to wake up half an hour early. But I have another page in my journal ready for words, so mission accomplished.
