I need some help friends! I am working on the colors for my next granny square. These samples are half done and I am debating about which one I like better. What do you all think? Dark center or light center? New pattern! If you guys didn't know it, #poppyseedpattern is now available on my Etsy. The link in my bio takes you straight to my store. Also, I am thinking of making a little shawl for my toddler out of this square. What do you think? Would you want to see that? Sure I love squares, but my first love is mandala blankets. Huge, repetitive, colorful, beautiful. I could do these these hours, and I often do. This one is Suna Mandara by @wigglestick_designs If you aren't familiar with her work then you need to drop everything and go check out her account. I absolutely love everything she does. When I started writing patterns I was not prepared for how many times I would be frogging my squares and starting over. It's a good thing I enjoy this or else we would have a problem. Good evening friends! This is a new pattern that I'll be releasing shortly. Stay tuned!

Mimosa trees, again. Post-partum Insomnia is a thing. It is usually a result of Post-partum Depression. Over the last year I've been trying every single thing I can think of to help manage anxiety and increase my sleep. But rather than getting better, I've been getting worse. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in 3 weeks now. This struggle for 6 straight hours of sleep has been going on for over a year. Snapdragon, grown from seed, in my pathetic flower bed. The grass may be abundant, but this fairytale blossom makes it all worthwhile. One day I will have gardening figured out, until then I will take pride in this beauty. Garlic harvest. Mimosas in my yard. I got a photo editor. Now to learn how to use it... Peony water is awesome. When made properly it has all the same beneficial properties of the flower - and it is super easy to make. The only hard and fast requirements are unsprayed flowers and distilled water. Here is a super simple recipe: Y'all, I feel like a real homeateader now. (SWIPE to see before!) I don't know what it is but having this new fence around my garden makes it feel so official and legitimate. My husband worked hard on it this weekend. (I helped, but it was mostly him.) Did you all do anything fun this weekend? I shared these in my stories, but they were too pretty to leave there. Chive blossoms have to be one of my favorite things. Do you have a favorite unorthodox blossom? If you didn't see it in my stories this weekend, I made a homemade pyff pastry and turned it into strudels. They were like what toaster strudels try (and fail) to be. Flakey, buttery, sweet, filling. All the glorious goodness.
