Happy summer solstice.
May your blessings be many and be as bright as the blue sky today.
I popped down to Coldrum today to tie a ribbon to the wishing tree and to leave an offering.
Now to return home and continue to be productive and light a candle on my alter 🖤

Blessed be

Finally bought myself a phone stand to help me record reels and videos as balancing my phone awkwardly between my b***s was getting a touch awkward 😂

Another day another bat… or two….
Feeling a bit slow today but managed to get these two lovely bats done.
They kind of remind me of fried eggs 😂

Now to vegetate and enjoy some self care 🖤

I must say he looks much better with the appropriate sized appendages!

I low key love him anyway though!

I am working on my 3rd and final crow inspired pattern the “baby crow” and I absolutely know you are all going to love it!

How much work did you do today Bea?
Yes……..
Today I have no attention span and would rather play with my phone, stare at the ceiling and do anything else other than work. I hoped my morning walk with Duke would help but nope I still can’t focus so I’ll try moving into my craft room tomorrow and seeing if a change of scenery works.

As the great Greenday once said “where is my motivation? I’ve got no motivation” etc

But despite that please enjoy this awesome tree I finally noticed today after walking past it many times before

This is where I’m at right now and I am resisting the urge to just curl up and have a nap coz my brain hurts 😂😭
This bag will be totally worth it! And yes I am writing it all down as I go so you can make one too!

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure for a big surprise
As there’s a woman with bright blue hair walking a large dog taking photos of a crochet crow!
