Once upon a time I was the captain of Team Hellmouth, the BTVS team in a nerdy knitting competition group on Ravelry. Just seen that Nicholas Brendan died yesterday. Xander will always have a place in my heart and gets quoted often in this house. I’m so sad right now.

After what feels like an eternity we finally framed and hung this gorgeous painting, The other half of the sky, by @JaneTomlinson@mastodonapp.uk
It’s perfect!

2nd wild garlic forage done. From a different part of the woodland in keeping with my responsible foraging ethos. Now time for crumpets and code before heading to the allotment.

Just sorted 4 bags of herbs into mixes for green goddess sauce over the year. This is laborious but future me appreciates it so much!

The forage this morning was cold. But the rewards were good.
Saw a fox on the way, big fluffy tail. The light was beautiful. It felt good to be alive!

Time for the yearly PSA about foraging.
Responsible foraging means not decimating an area. You are taking from an eco system. Be kind and considered. Ideally anyone coming behind you should not be able to tell where you have been. Wild garlic has a long season so you can take little and often, but this goes for any foraging!

Productive day is go. So far I have:
🌱Been out foraging for wild garlic and set the first load drying
🧺Done a load of laundry and hung it up
🥑Been to the greengrocers
🌼Failed in my mission to buy daffodils for my mum for tomorrow

Time for more coffee and to write the actual to do list for the day. And yes, I will add all the above just so I can cross them off 😄

Forgot to post this one yesterday. Look at the glory!

No outfit today. Just wanted to be comfy and warm lol. Am trying out my new bandana though. What do we think?

I’m love doing things like this. It’s always fascinating to me that it’s super easy on some colours and insanely hard on others. Gimme the greens and purples and browns but you can keep the reds!

I love this pinafore. Made it from old jeans. Didn’t want to take the zip out and reposition it so just laid it out like this. Means the pockets on front and back are one front and one back pocket from the original jeans. It’s a lil awkward but I kinda love it.

These past 2 days on the walk to work it has been clear enough of sky for me to see the glorious colours of Eos. And oh how wonderful it has felt to be connected to my goddess again. I might be exhausted but I feel blessed.

All hail Eos.
She who opens the gate and allows the light to spill forth and touch us all.
May the wonder I feel at the beauty of your colours be the foundation upon which I build my day.
