I took my own advice today…see the motto at the top of the website page…and created this…
And yes, the motto is some of the best advice one could ever act upon!
So, I present to you my Celtic Dream Coat…
Made from 100% recycled materials.

This is called upcycling!
For lovers of Bealtaine Cottage and all aspects of ancient Celtic life and Goddess Permaculture found therein, there is a second website, growing daily and now with over 90 new blogs and several thousands of unseen photographs, as well as podcasts and stories… Visit:
16 years of Goddess Permaculture through the Bealtaine Project at Bealtaine Cottage, West of Ireland.
Colette O'Neill is a writer, photographer, environmentalist and teacher who has devoted the past 16 years to turning 3 acres of derelict land into a woodland sanctuary for all life, planting over 1,100 trees in the process. Colette posts prolifically across Social Media, encouraging planting of trees and regeneration of Mother Earth. Her life energy is now devoted to the Great Goddess, Mother Earth!

Very talented. Will you wear this for your gathering?
lovely work….your fabrics are ‘delicious’ and look very soft and touchable, and the colour choices work so well together. Did you hand stitch or machine? Love the celtic motifs at centre front…a worthy piece to hang in the goddess wardrobe!
100% BEAUTIFUL! The fabrics are delicious and the design is inspired. A wonderful way to use that anger and disappointment. Make something beautiful with it and see that it is good. Congratulations!

Bravo, Colette…never give up! One of my own favourite mottoes is: “Create Beauty”…and that is what you do, as well…..Val
