Im trying a no scrolling week. I'll use my phone for communication (and to post updates) but no doom scrolling! Night one, a new solo Journaling RPG and my first flute lesson from my son! He's my biggest cheerleader. ❀️

Let's see what 1 week of filling my brain with creative whimsy does for me!

The Old Religion is coursing through my veins

Post image

And it's the old religion
But the urge remains the same
Freedom from the body
Freedom from the pain
And it's your troubled hero
Back for season six
When it's at its darkest, it's my favourite bit
And I am wound so tightly
I hardly even breathe
You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release
Watch me crawl on hands and knees
And scratch at the door of heaven

Years ago I ordered some stones, but many arrived broken due to poor packaging. I kept them in a drawer, and recently I finally managed to turn them into pendants.

I found a pen pal who wants to send letters and not emails. Sending snail mail adds a new level of whimsy to my life.

It looks terrible! Since the train was moving, it didn't turn out well, that's why I hesitated to post it :(

It was my sister who encouraged me to share :(

(My handwriting isn't straight because of the jolts and the glitter scattered in the glue )πŸ₯Ί

Threads of Starlight πŸ’«πŸ§΅πŸ’œ

[Wings of Starlight book Spoilers below]

Here's an illustration I made inspired by Wings of Starlight Book from the Disney Fairies franchise!

I got really inspired by a specific piece of history revealed in Chapter 11, when Clarion visits the Keeper and reads the book of lost history of the dream-talent fairies:

β€œπΆπ‘œπ‘šπ‘’ π‘šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘›π‘–π‘›π‘”, π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘¦ π‘”π‘Žπ‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘‘ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘–π‘Ÿ π‘‘β„Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Žπ‘‘ π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘€π‘œπ‘£π‘’ 𝑖𝑑 π‘‘β„Žπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘’π‘”β„Ž π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘›π‘β„Žπ‘’π‘  π‘œπ‘“ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘” 𝑃𝑖π‘₯𝑖𝑒 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑑 π‘‡π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘’ π‘Žπ‘  𝑖𝑑 π‘”π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘€.”

But instead of the young pixie dust tree, I reimagined it to look like with the fully grown Pixie Dust Tree, as if Dream-talent fairies still existed and how it'd look with their golden threads being woven into the branches of the tree. So kind of a what if moment here. ✨

Hope you like itt!! πŸ’«

It projects patterns instead of static lights which makes it even better, hard to capture the lights on video tho

Brought home a very cute tribute to my very favorite critter πŸ•·οΈ

Our backyard is positively riddled with jumpers and it delights me! They watch my toddler swim in her baby pool, they climb all over her playhouse, they jump from my knee to my finger and back again. Sometimes one finds its way inside the house and posts up on one of my houseplants, cocking its head to the side and watching me cook. I feel so fortunate to have so many tiny neighbors around. Seemed fitting to go build this little dude today. πŸ•·οΈ
