July Dump

 

This is my July camera dump. It was a really good and really bad month. The weather was autumnal and now my garden needs tidying. 

Uber driver's window, these were on both sides and he was really excited about it when I complemented them. 

Parv's top, made by her friend Ruth. 

Blackberries! Tired to pick some but loads of worms came out (a bit too many) so had to throw them away- Grandma said you shouldn't pick them on a rainy day bc the worms hide in there.

Fashioncoms x Dean publication came out.

My sweetest nephew ever, invitation to his 4th birthday party.

Flowers & Life: Personal Journal

In this post I’ll be sharing some flowers I’ve found joy in recently. Although I’m having a particularly low couple of weeks- out of this has come the growing realisation that I’m becoming infatuated with flowers and what they’re teaching me about life.

I’ve been thinking about places, one where everything is only wonderful all the time- maybe in my garden surrounded by plants. Where illness and hardships don’t exist, here I’ll stay with the beauty of the flowers. Then another, one where I’m pulled from my garden, into this nowhere space of ill health and pain.

I tell myself I’m in one or the other but I’m not- I’m starting to be where life just is. Where beauty and happiness can exist with illness and discomfort. Really, when you experience illness, this is where you’re permanently grounded. Contentment within this place is what I’m after, it'll come and go.

Maybe the whole point of all this is that I’m learning to love life for what it is.

Flowers from out and about.

From my personal journal. 20.06.23

I was crying on the way to the Doctors today, as tears started to build I saw a beautiful bush of flowers to the right of me. 

I love flowers now, they bring joy and let me be in a place with them where things just live to grow, wilt and be beautiful.

To see life now is special and painful. Life is real and slippery and of course ever-changing.

April moodboard in May

 MOODBOARD From April.

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!

^ Poster in the middle when it folds out ^

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

Fanks:) ❤⁕
