Just for me
There are a few things I've been up to lately that are doing a wonderful job of (to put it all smooshy like) feeding my soul.
Picking raspberries is one. Harvesting the lavender is another. I love the intense blue violet of the tiny blossoms, the smell is divine and a big sniff can undo any amount of stress for even just a second which is so worth it. Also there's a soothing drone in my garden that comes from the bees who come to visit for the lavender and thyme flowers.
Also feeding my soul is the few minutes here and there that I've been able to be creative again. It started for the Peanut's birthday with a Chinese lantern chandelier, a stick a hat on Quack poster and a tiny tissue cake banner. Since then I've been playing around with image transfers.
I've been using images from the Vintage Moth blog which are fantastic by the way. I've almost perfected a transfer technique using liquid sculpey and my mind is whirling around ways to put it to good use. I recently bought some small cradled panels that I want to make into shadow box art pieces which would work well with a little translucent imagery.
So don't let me air out all my soul feeding ways alone; what's been feeding your soul lately?

I love absolutely everything about lavender!
I loves me some lavender too! I'm jealous of your raspberries. We put quite a few canes in last year but haven't gotten very many berries this year.
