Time for some plant info 😋🥰
I'm very much into herbology, gardening, clean eating (according to my body and needs) and self sustainability, homesteading, off gridding. So I'm going to be sharing tips and tricks, cool histories and the research I have done for so many years.
This plant actually grows wild here. Most plants grow wild here!

Very close to being done. ❤️ First time doing this type of thing. My idea and design and I was getting to know all the different machines I've been using while making this project. It's been fun and stressful.

Been working on some more old projects.
*A skirt that has needed adjusting a few times through time. Adding things and adjustung things.
*Sleeves that I had decided to make reversible as well and needed to make them wider.
*And a dress that was waring out but could still be worn if changed a bit.
I really don't like getting rid of things and will use it all til the day it becomes dust hahah
-and yes, I'm aware that my work is not perfect. Between learning the machines, learning to change and needing to adjust things and not wanting to fully take it apart...again..and not having all the supplies and material I would need to make things perfect. I'm always growing and learning.

I'll show the top and cinch tomorrow, I'm sure. The cinch is done..again not perfect ahah and doesn't have boning.
The top, I finally figured out how I'm going to make it work for me. It is also reversible along with the cinch. How many people can say they have or have made a reversible cinch?! It was interesting to make and I will make more cinches, not with the same material but nonetheless ❤️

The world is starting to wake up, the path can look gloomy and nearly dead of not so hopeful. But as the days pass, it is known that with warmer weather, there comes growth and nourishment.
Nourish your mind, body and spirit.

Just need to take them through the machine and they will be done. Super cute and comfy as ever!

Made adjustments and added some stuff. Some new things that will be happening.

Working on more stuff. Not finished but starting to come together. First times utterly altering pants/leggings. Usually was just bringing in the sides a bit or hemming them.
I totally created the shorts. Didn't have too much material, but I'll make it work ❤️
Also have a couple added projects and alterations to do. A dress i gave my girl has become worn out and needs adjusting and i need slippers hahah.
I'll show the dress in the next post. The dress had become too big on me but fit my girl perfectly so it became hers 😋

As I grow and learn I realize I have too many ideas for my own good aahhah but also in reality, there are a lot of things that are just life.

I am a minimalist, but also love things ahah. But tend not to: either don't spend much money on things, find things for free, or thrifted.

I love nature and what it provides, including watching the seasons and cycles of life as they go. Plus digging in the dirt and eating what I grow or what others have grown. Using herbs for my health. Whether tea or to put on my skin.

As a disclaimer, this is all things I've learned through time and usually in books or online (holistic, nutritionists and herbalist people that have studied and offer info for free) through my journey. Most of this probably really hasn't been utterly tested. No one has used these remedies for so long and throughout their lives. But this is my plan and life.
I am someone that prefers live, dried or personally processed things to be used, rather than processed by a big company, even the big oil companies. I'm not totally bashing them...They just aren't any different from your normal processed products. I personally want purity in my life. But they do sometimes offer good pure things. I do follow some companies and I will share them.

The Shadow Cottage. My home. It's everywhere and nowhere. ❤️
More things I've been doing:
Making cookies- corn flour, crunchy peanut butter, egg, sunflower oil, chocolate almond milk. Heat in oven 350* for like 15 min. Might tweek the recipe though. They were better fried with this recipe.
Frying potatoes.
Made some pants, but they aren't fully finished yet.
Also, working on waistbands for a couple pairs of shorts.
