    Oh my this video was packed with so many ideas and beautiful things and lovely thoughts. That you called drying was very helpful. I used to use alum in pickling so I haven't had any for a long time but I will get some the next time I go to the store. I don't have a garden but I do have houseplants that I think I can use to do this and somebody just bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and I will try using some of them. I can't thank you enough for your Channel

Oh yes house plants and you’re lovely bunch of flowers sound perfect, I used flowers from a bunch once when they were all wilted and dried, the colours seem to intensify. Have fun experimenting 💐

I have tried it a couple of times and always surprised at the results. Can make for some amazing pages.

      Gail lovely to see you, yes I have always had busy hands, used to take my drawing into the garden when I was little.
      Oh yes a challenge and fun, I recently did a happy mail for someone and they liked grungy fairies it was such fun exploring a different style. Have fun gathering. Let me know how it’s going over the next few weeks. ❤️

    Oh I forgot to mention how excited I am to make these buttons. I already make buttons out of book pages and watercolor scraps that I use and love very much. I will use these in my junk journals on a page on a pocket they could go on the back of a spine or on the front of a journal also. I think they would just have so many uses. Now to find the time to sit and make me dozens and dozens

Beautiful artwork from Little Pickles, she really captured sweet Freddie with his golden heart full of love. 🐶 And just when I thought it was done in pops Ben and just look at your 3-tiered cookie plates!!! 😍 WOW!

    What a wonderful uplifting mood journal with all of those smiling faces and lovely colors. I really think I must make one of those journals for the days that I'm not feeling so happy for uplifted. Of course your channel always helps me too. I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. I am on medication finally at81 that has made a big difference. The other thing that helps number one is my faith and knowing that happiness is a choice that I get to make everyday and every minute if I need to. Blessings to you too Freddy and to Ben. It's been your brother and does he live in another town that you travel the Train on to go see him?

    Lemon ginger ice cube recipe.
    3 cups water
    1 squeezed lemon or 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon honey
    1-2 thumbs peeled and coarse chopped ginger
    Add all to a blender. Wazz for about 3 mins or until ginger well-broken down. Strain through fine sieve. Pour into ice cube tray. Freeze and use as needed.
    Once you do it a couple times, you will be able to adjust to suit - ie more ginger, less water, etc. if using fresh lemon, can also include the lemon zest for more brightness.

      Gypsy hi there. The Allum is a mordant and helps the dye adhere to the fibres I believe you can use lemon, it’s always fun to experiment.

      The journal was one I made on a live the other week. I saw someone with a wreck this journal and I thought what fun, I will make my own ! I used Amazon cardboard envelope for the cover and then my painty papers joined with the three hole pamphlet stitch. I thought it would be fun for it to go through the post !
