GARDEN UPDATE: 1 Year Later

Here is the front yard pictured exactly one year apart, to the day!

I cannot express how much I absolutely ADORE my garden. I had so much fun building this Tudor style garden with Mr. Donner last year, and I love that we get to just plant this year, no building!

I'm looking forward to the peas again, those were so tasty last year. I'm also excited about some new things I planted this year; I've got tomatoes that have started putting out their first flowers, garlic with scapes coming now, and a very pretty bed of potato foliage 🥰

Finally getting back to my ceiling painting project! I've been plugging away at it daily for a couple weeks now, and likely have at least a full month more to go. It's amazing how long it takes 😱

A few more photos of the Love Nuns, taken at this gorgeous spot recommended by on IU campus in Bloomington! We didn't attract stares at all, nope 💀

I made some paint brushes! They came out so cute 🥰

Useful however....

Eh.

*Usable* is the best I can say 😆

The paint was great though! I've always loved seeing the cute little medieval painters with their paint shell palettes, so it was delightful to make my own. It's a gouache made with oxide pigments, calcium carbonate, and gum arabic.

(The paintbrushes were made via 15th century Cennini's Il Libro dell'Arte instructions. Mediocre results likely from my own substitutions and not the instructions 🫠)

Holy moly, I feel so pretty in these pictures from ( https://instagram.com/alauracreative ) - this was the staircase at the Chicago ball this last March and it was so perfect for pictures in a way that my sewing room just can't match 😂

I'll admit, I felt just okayish in this 1890s dress I'd just made, but wasn't sure that the whole look was working when I looked in the mirror that night. These pictures changed my mind, I feel flipping gorgeous 😭 thanks for the amazing pictures Alaura!

FRIENDS I HAVE PEAS.

BEHOLD.

I FEEL MIGHTY.

The winds of inspiration struck me today and I'm now making a very silly little thing. Any guesses on what this is for?

I Spoke Too Soon: A Slideshow

I must have tempted fate by saying that I was done with bed-related things because the pups ripped open a hole in one of their dog beds and redistributed wool fluff everywhere. It had previously been repaired (the yellow patch), but I felt like it was time for a whole new cover.

I guess I got to make that wool mattress after all huh?
