A Raw Update...
I'm going to be posting more regular updates, but the videos will not be as polished as my past videos have been. I don't have the bandwidth to keep that up. This channel is transitioning to a raw documentation of my life so that I can track my own progress in all my various goals and activities: health, food, gardening, crafts, animals, traveling, mental health, etc. I'll still be sharing stylized content, but it'll be when I'm able. All in all, you'll be getting a raw and unedited look into my life and personal pursuits. If this new direction doesn't resonate with you, I wish you all the best!! No stress.
I hope you're happy, healthy and celebrating life.

This Room Is A DISASTER | Everyone needs help sometimes
Переглядів 115Рік тому
Today, I go to help a friend get this room under control. She was kind and brave enough to let me film the process. Everyone needs help sometimes. When we have big stressors in our lives, especially when anxiety and depression are at play, it can make it really difficult just to do daily tasks. Life can become overwhelming very quickly. I would like to encourage you to think about your own life...

I love insects and all manor of life. So, for me, keeping worms is a joy, just so fun!! I love taking care of them, and I'm always amazed at the ability they have to turn decomposing food into beautiful, rich soil. It's amazing!! And easy to maintain!

    I'm going to give this a go for my little girls birthday. Hoping I can make it look anywhere near your beautiful creation! I got the tissue paper and crepe paper already. How many roles of butcher paper did you use per tree? And with what did you attach the flower strings to the ceiling? Thank you!

      @@evelientalman4086 This will be so cute for a little girl's birthday! The amount of butcher paper needed will depend on how thick you make your trees. I made my trees really thick and large. In the end, I think I used 5 or 6. Good luck and have so much fun!! 🥰🥳 Brown Kraft Butcher Paper Roll - 18 Inch x 100 Feet Brown Paper Roll for Wrapping and Smoking Meat, BBQ Paper for the Perfect Brisket Crust - Durable, Unbleached and Unwaxed Food Grade Grilling Paper a.co/d/iFkjuKm

      Thanks so much for the words of comfort and great advice! 🙏🏻🤗 I flushed the lawn deeply for the first several days. I did see a couple irregular patches of slight lightening, but it seems to be ok so far. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I didn't get any weed control from it because I had to wash it away; so, the weeds are very much all still happy 🙈😅 After I give the lawn some rest, I plan to use a lawn safe weed killer. I did find 4 perfect 5" circles of yellow and dead grass in the back corner. That spot must have not gotten enough water to flush the granules out, but I'll take it if that's all the collateral damage I walk away with! 🙈🙃 Live and learn!

    Rabies? 🫣

    • @lenamichellejames
      @lenamichellejames 3 місяці тому

      Hopefully not! 🙏 There's always that chance, but it's unlikely. The State wildlife biologist specializes in bats, and he said that rabies in our local bat population is rare. With the fact that we had had a huge storm the night before, it was most likely that he just got caught in the storm. Once their fur gets wet, they get heavy and it's hard for them to fly. Other than that, the bat appeared very healthy; so, the biologist felt confident I could release him. I hope he recovered and is well 🩷

    How long did you you make each flower strand

    • @lenamichellejames
      @lenamichellejames 3 місяці тому

      The lengths vary from as short as 12 in to as long as 3.5 ft. I felt like a lot of varying lengths felt really natural and added a lot of visual texture when looking at the room. 🌷🩷

    I saw someone used a googlie eye behind the eye to make it move around, but yours looks more realistic than anyone else's. Most people use the ping pong ball kind. Is there a way to use the eye you did with a googlie eye on the back or something? I think the other lady printed out an eye 🤔 You two did it differently and look cool, I'd like to combine idea's 🤗

    • @lenamichellejames
      @lenamichellejames Рік тому

    I'm not at all artistic, but decided to make this into a jewelry box to get use out of it. 🥰 I ordered coiled snaked jewelry from Temu for a couple bucks and they have other snake jewelry like a bracelet that I'm going to try to use going up the spine. I'm watching all you creative people that make these videos so I know how to do the rest and where to place everything 😃 I just thought it would be cool to have the eye watching out for my jewelry 😉👁

    • @lenamichellejames
      @lenamichellejames Рік тому

      For not being artistic, those are some phenomenal, artistic ideas! I love it!! How did it turn out? I always challenge people who believe they are not artistic. Everyone can be! And the more you practice letting your creativity fly, the easier it will come. I think you have an artist in you that's eager to get out. Have so much fun and thanks for sharing your ideas!! <3 <3 <3

    Absolutely LOVE this tutorial. I followed it to the letter and it turned out great! The only issue I ran into was the book I used was white. I had to do several washes of paint before the last layer of tissue paper bc I had to hide the bright red lettering on my white book. If I had painted it with just a single layer of brown before hand I could have avoided the stress of painting over my tissue paper without destroying it. Not a major deal in the end as it turned out great but jist something I would have done differently if it had occurred to me! Thank you for the great tutorial!!!
