A witches’ ball for the tree sounds amazing, @Susurrus! 🤩 Good luck and let us know how it goes! A+ for puns, @Rowan, and A+++ for the lovely Witches Ladder! 😆 I love the colors you chose! They are so soothing and relaxing. I am sure the ladder will help your girls sleep well 😴 I know the Celtic Heart is tricky- it took me many tries before I could do it too! Stick with it, or maybe switch it up and dig into another knot. You have a talent for crafting! @Jeannie1- I am in AWE! Look at that magnificent Witches Ladder! I love the diversity of feathers you choose- it is so wonderful to see 💕 I love how they hold such a powerful meaning too 😊 Gorgeous spellwork, we are blessed to see your lovely craftsmanship come to life! Stunning Witches Bell, @Berta- and your talents really shone through with all the knots you included! 😍 Your abilities always steal my breath away- this is yet another masterpiece you’ve crafted ✨. And such a lovely chant too! Thank you so much for sharing! May each knot tie up a problem and every twist tug away at your worries, @Amethyst- well done! This is a lovely spell and I hope it helps you heal up quickly 🙏 Great job and thanks for sharing your beautiful spellwork! ---

I jumped into my project with a lot of ambition- I had some spare cord that I was planning to make into a leaf-knot bracelet to then either wear or wrap around a plant (somewhat inspired by [shimenawa](https://www.google.com/search?q=shimenawa&rlz=1C1CHBD_enPL916PL918&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-8OLNu7vtAhUl_SoKHW3pDo0Q_AUoAXoECA0QAw&biw=1169&bih=585&dpr=1.5) at Shinto shrines in Japan). Got my cord 🧵 , got my [leaf knot tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjQ7A0Uqk_w) 🍃 , and made it through one knot- only to have the phone ring and become terribly distracted 😅 Oops! ![IMG_20201207_072314](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/f/f4f4de0d42d1c063bfa9fee14f052c590b2555e0.jpeg) Needless to say my one successful leaf knot is sitting on the table- not sure when I’ll get back to that project 🤷‍♀️ But the beauty of distractions is that they usually lead to new projects, and while I didn’t finish the knot bracelet, over the weekend I did make some Christmas/Yule decorations to hang up around the apartment 🌲 ![IMG_20201207_072236](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/8/861c90212044d4a883209c882a0fb5dc700a9f64.jpeg) This is knot tying magick at its simplest: One knot for **luck** , one knot for **happiness** , and a cheerful bow to tie in lots of **love** - binding positivity within the home 🏡 . This decoration is now hanging above the entranceway- I’m hoping it will bring and hold many blessings during the holiday season! 🕯❄ Hope everyone had a lovely weekend- blessed be! ✨ ---

@MeganB I love your ‘gif’ that just made me giggle… too perfect… I know just how you feel. On the other hand if you saw my work room right now you would be shocked. I need to stop taking on projects and get that place cleaned up… I have a corner where i have been wrapping packages to send, a dress I am stitching on the ironing board (I made a huge mistake and I am trying to fix it). I have the family tree… and all associated paperwork… not to mention my ever growing BOS I am trying to organize. The good part is that I am not going anywhere and no one is visiting right now… so I guess this is the perfect time to do all this stuff. ---

@MeganB Happyberry’s Youtube channel. I just looked up crochet celtic knot free pattern. She has a couple of them. Here is the direct link to the video [https://youtu.be/h5AKrLA2u7s](https://youtu.be/h5AKrLA2u7s) Happy crocheting!!! Blessed Be! ---

@Jeannie1 I feel like I cheated on this one because I followed YouTube tutorials to make those knots. Starting and stopping the feed as I made the knots. I was relieved it worked out. I sent it to a friend for Christmas. Hope she likes it… I am sure her cats might! If you want to try one I strongly suggest 3mm parachute cord… it’s nice and slippery, but ties easily. I’m sure you can do it. Just be patient. Happy knotting! ---

Hahaha @Berta if watching YouTube videos counts as cheating, I’ve been cheating my way through my whole life! 😆 There’s so many great things to learn there- and a little guidance goes such a long way when it comes to crafting! 🧵😊 They say that creativity in the brain works by taking bits of information and arranging them in new ways- so in a sense, everything comes from something else! Even with magick, we can’t _poof_ something out of absolute nothingness- our intent and materials manifest our desires into actuality ✨ So feel free to follow guides, watch videos, and be inspired by the crafts of others- there’s nothing wrong with drawing on the wonderful resources around you. Anything you make with your own hands and materials will be 100% unique to you and the moment you crafted it into being 💖 > **Ichi-go Ichi-e** > > > [@Tasseography: Tea Leaf Divination tea](https://forum.spells8.com/t/tasseography-tea-leaf-divination/2851/1): > > > > _Ichi-go Ichi-e_ roughly translates to " _one time, one meeting_ ". It is a reminder that every time we have a cup of tea 🍵 , the situation is completely unique. Savor each sip and treasure every moment- because the same scenario will never happen again. There is a heavy but delightful value in each experience we have in our lives. Happy crafting and blessed be! 🙌 [Previous page](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-of-spells-and-string/5603.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-of-spells-and-string/5603.md?page=4)
