Some little fairy-angel type things I made a while ago, the bigger one is made from some scraps of jute twine. The smaller one is made from some string and a wooden skull-looking bead I got from a craft fair a few years ago. I stuck four feathers in their backs for wings. 

I got my grandmother’s wooden jewellery box recently, so here’s one of the  drawers full of all my loose pretty metal things :) Spoons, keys, pocket watch lockets and charms. 

My blanket covers the majority of the top of my bed now, I had to stand on a chair to take this photo, and there are even some edge parts of it that didn’t make it into the picture too  ʕ•ᴥ•ʔﾉ♡

A mushroom pin cushion I crocheted a day ago. The wood puck on the bottom is leftover from a project my sister was working on, it had a little hole already drilled in it. 

I poked an old chopstick through the mushroom stem for stability, and left a little bit of it sticking out at the bottom so it could fit into the hole in the wooden piece. Then I just hot glued the mushroom’s base to the wooden part carefully so the glue didn’t show.

More rocks for my collection, the big round reddish one and the round one with the streaky, mottled black and white pattern are just from around my house. The rest of them are river rocks from a regional park in my area. 

A little snail I found out in the rain, I moved them over to the hedge. ✿*+ﾟ❀⋆｡ (๑❛ᴗ❛๑) ｡⋆❀+ﾟ*✿

Progress on the patchwork blanket I’ve been very slowly making. It fits over the majority of my lap now. 

I made a necklace recently, it’s got a small amber bottle full of little pieces of obsidian, and two shark teeth fossils. I like to think of it as a protection charm because of the associations with the shark teeth and obsidian <|:^)

Three little snails I made with a four-peg knitting loom ♡ ⚘ +.⋆˙⊹* ･｡

Some treasures I found in a dirt patch in my backyard recently. Two cool rocks and a penny from 1964 (it’s hard to see the engravings in the photos, though). 

Two frog pouches I made a few days ago, they were very inspired by the frog in this post here:

I’ve posted these froggies before, but I’ve now decided their names! On the bottom row of pictures, left to right:

A brown marmorated stink bug I found a day ago. I originally thought they were dead, because when I saw them, their legs were all curled up and they were a little squished and had an injury on their lower side. So I took them inside, because I make little jewellery and display pieces with dead bugs I find (after letting them dry out naturally). 

I left them on a tissue on the windowsill to dry, then the next morning I saw that  the bug’s legs had changed positions (but they still stayed in the same spot on the tissue). I figured that since the bug hadn’t dried out completely, the legs had just slumped down. I started to poke at them gently and they started moving again! Maybe the warmth of being inside had helped them recover ¯\_( ′ᴗ‵ )_/¯

Then I brought them outside again, and put them in a nice, safe spot. ◦*+ﾟ❀･ﾟ✿˚+:･ﾟ
