Day 3 – dotty nature art 🖼 💚

Day 2 – a grounding game:

Stand in a spot in your garden or whilst out for a walk. Stand or sit in a spot.

– name 5 things you can See
– name 4 things you can Hear
– name 3 things you can Touch
– name 2 things you can Smell
– name 1 thing you can Taste

I think Taste is a bit tricky as we shouldn’t eat anything outdoors unless we’re absolutely sure so this might be a good one to hold onto for a rainy day so we can taste the rain 🌧💚

Day 1 – Make your own fairy fire …

Four sticks to make a square and then smaller sticks to make a tripod. I used ivy to tie it together but you could use string. 💚

🌿🌿FINDING hidden gems in our local area has been our positive of this lockdown💚🌿🌿

🌿🌿How are YOU all doing? The weather has definitely helped. WE are all ok, busy with a LOT of DIY/ school work/ my school work and some lovely lazy days thrown in …. YESTERDAY Daisy and I tried beetroot as a natural dye – using one cup of beetroot, half a cup of salt and 4 cups of water. It didn’t go as RED as we hoped so I’d definitely up the beetroot if YOU want to have a go …. 💚🌿🌿

 

🌿🌿I wanted to collect some ferns for pressing AND nettles for drinking so Daisy and I took a walk to the Outdoor Classroom this afternoon … NO mean task on rollerskates! LUCKILY Daisy didn’t end up in the bog …. LOOKING forward to a big ‘ole tidy up when it’s safe to do so 🥰💚🌿🌿

 

🌿🌿SOO after a quiet week mostly doing NOT a lot, today I had a chance to get out and pick some DAISIES to start off my daisy bruise balm that I’m keen to make.🌿🌿

🌿🌿I picked a good handful from a plentiful area and let them wilt a bit in the sun. Just by chance most of mine had short stems.🌿🌿

🌿🌿ONCE these had wilted I popped some oil over them to the top using an old jam jar and left them on my windowsill, the jar will need to be shaken everyone once in a while before draining off the oil in a couple of weeks.🌿🌿

🌿🌿YOU then add bees wax to make a balm. I have some bees wax but I might use coconut oil – I’m thinking I drain off the oil, heat up the bees wax/ coconut oil and then pour this over the mixture to make the balm.🌿🌿

🌿🌿HAVE a go! Ps. I used sunflower oil to pour over the daisies but not sure it matters much. 🌿🌿

🐝 THIS recipe is a mix of quite a few I have seen on the internet/ Facebook/ Pinterest🐝

🌿🌿May Day 2019 – such a LOT of fun💚🌿🌿
