Making, baking and other life things.

 Order: old-new- Feb & March

I’ve been baking and making little things at the moment which has been super rewarding! Because of limited energy, it’s sometimes hard to find rewarding things that are doable, but hopefully, I can continue to create things at my own pace and have fun doing it:)

I'm not going to write a whole lot in this post but here are the things I wanted to show off:

                                        

  Me & Parv made this cake on my bday. 

❄ Snow ❄

Brownie!! 

I used the Tescos free-from packet mix- gluten and dairy free. As my energy is very limited, and I've not done too much baking, I'm finding it best to stick to a packet mix like this to start learning.

 Next time I'll try and replace the eggs with a vegan alternative. I popped the sprinkles into a little pot of icing sugar to attach to the brownie.

 I've never really baked and am not particularly amazing at it but I'm learning and finding it really rewarding.<33

Journal Club

Made during the first journal club. 

Front & Back Mini zine.

Starting to dabble with making things with themes of sickness and disability within them. It’s not something I ever wanted to rush into doing but it's slowly feeling more comfortable. 

Quick badge made from felt.

"Naan Breads"

Gluten-free alternatives rarely come close to the real thing, they're also extremely expensive. Something I am finding though is making free from alternatives from scratch seem to be coming out tasty!

No images but here's the recipe.  I also made a pizza base with this recipe, worked really well but my first try was not the most visually appealing.

New growth in my garden: 

It's almost time to start tending to the garden more, gardener's world has just started and I'm excited to follow along with Monty.

 Art fair:

Luke & I did a table at @burntoastartfair and sold a bunch of people's zines and publications for them!

I did a couple mini zine experiments from images I already had. Lmk if you want one :pp

“Boring” life is in, Alcohol is out. Winter blues, post covid xxxtra fatigued.

Started on 03/01/2023 Playlist: A House in Nebraska, Ethel Cain.

New year blog post, wanted to write a little more within this post but i

I really cba and I'm also v v xxxtra tired atm💤🛌  Right now it's time for grounding and setting realistic goals. Kind of love doing these all over the place blog posts. Let's start off with an in & out list. Everyone's doing one this year so why not. My list is kind of boring but that is something that's in right now. By boring, I just mean some of the things 2019 me would have rolled her eyes at. Rn I just want calm life where I’m doing fulfilling little bits. 💭

Anyway here is my in's and outs list..................................

In:

Sober girl

Four meals a day

Everything that’s considered boring

Weekly mood playlists

Perfumes

Deleting screenshots

Journaling

Realistic goals

90s true vintage

Out:

Alcohol

Processed sugar

Instagram

Zoomed-out iPhone photos

Gatekeeping

Eye rolling

Ugly vinted clothes

Paranoia

Explaining why I’m tired.

Wish I expanded on my ins and outs during this vid BUT whateverrrrrrr.

   

Sober Girl:

I’ve tried the alcohol-free replacements before and they’re so expensive and taste bad, I’d rather start making fun fruity drinks that look cute and are a nice experience to make. This way I get something out of it! Any Mocktail recipes are welcome.

At the moment I’m thinking: 💭
❥ Lime & Sodas (classic)
❥Kombucha (saw someone also use this in replacement of spirits)
❥Trip Drinks (Had these quite a lot because I tend to drink stuff like that when people are causal drinking, the ginger and pear one is really tasty.)
❥https://bubblysideoflife.com/blog/new-mocktail-recipes/
                ^^All of these look really good ^^

Here's my small thrifted glass collection I'll be having my mocktails in...................

Basic Photos:

Boring photography for an instant emotional outlet, great to stick in my journal and probably the easiest/most accessible way to have physical photos for me right now.

                                             . 

Boring stuff In my vinted likes: 

   

*Side note*

 Some bits I was looking at while in the middle of doing this post. Fitting to my mood currently.

 

Instagram feels gross: Not expanding 

OK. Why does it feel so weird posting on Instagram these days? Idk maybe I'm getting old (25 next month😛).

Screenshots in general are out- it's fine having this many screenshots when ur addicted to the internet and have a full-time finsta to run, but sadly that era is over, and it's time to try and spring clean.

Ok this is getting boring I’m cutting it short the end xxx

COLD & FLU IN A MOOD: I'ts October and I'm not settled.

    ↖ COLD&FLU IN A MOOD. ↖

❦

It's October and I'm not settled.

I'm in bed with a big nasty cold atm and I've started to get obsessed with vogue runway again. I've been using Pinterest a lot recently but I've started to find it annoying.  I like digging for ideas, Insop, and just general shit that excites me, but I don't necessarily like it being so curated. Kind of living in fear of pinteresting every aspect of my life.

 I haven't made anything creative in a while bc of moving and other personal circumstances, its hard because I can struggle with identity a lot when I don't have some kind of creative outlet. Flicking through vogue runway has been a nice intro back into even having creative thoughts that might go somewhere again. Here's a little mood board /thoughts for 1st week of cold & flu.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 1995

My wish is to lay in sheer and a thong this winter, big scarf.

Tiny sheer top, No bra.

      

River island                            Givinchy-spring2001

 ⧓

"River island bow" that's all it took to find hundreds of matches via vinted.  Depop makes me weep, the thought of someone paying £84 for a river island top (NOT pictured here) this one was sold for £3. Will someone pay it just to take the easy rout into another micro trend. 

Anjelica Huston

 

Nose identity. To fringe or not to fringe. 

Isabella Rossellini-Death Becomes her. 1992

Nose identity/tiny top.

Givinchy-fall2000 Alexander McQueen

Tiny top, tiny pant. 

Cold & flu so many layers but still so cold 💔

 ()

                                                           Maybe this too 50/50 on if it fits 

                                                                with cold flu mood. I'm thinking big fever. What do u fink?

To be continued I think....,I'm sure ill have this cough for another week so maybe a part2........
