My herbal list

This year I'm gonna be a herbalist. There is plenty of healthy substances, microelements in the plants everywhere around - in the garden, in the nearby forest.  I made a small to-pick list for each month for me and encourage you to do the same. Wherever you live - whether it's US, Brasilia or New Zeland - there's sure a lot of goods around;)

W tym roku mam zamiar pobawić się w zielarstwo. Zioła są naokoło - w ogrodzie, w lesie - wszędzie. Zrobiła miesięczną listę roślin do zbierania, zachęcam do zrobienia tego samego! Zawsze możecie skorzystać też z mojej listy, polecam spróbować razem ze mną;)

Have a beautiful day,

Sweet dreams | stamped t-shirt DIY

As I said I've been painting on fabric last week. This t-shirt is an example. Although I prefer more classic style of clothing (I could wear dresses all the time), I decided to paint something on this tee and use it as a pajama top. I hope it will bring me sweet deams today!

You'll need: a tee, textile paints, stamps, brushes. (+ a cup of water and a white plate - if you want to mix colours). 

At first you should make a project of what you want to have on your t-shirt. Once you have prepared it, draw a sketch straight on the tee with a chalk of contrasting colour. Prepare all shades of paint you want to use. Carefully paint the stamping surface with a brush. lay the stamp on the fabric and press gently.

After you have all the imprints done you'll probably need to correct a few mistakes - use brushes to this aim. Leave your tee to dry and then follow the preservation instruction given on the paint container. 

NOTE: although I'll post a few DIY's connected with clothing  in the upcoming weeks this blog will never change into a fashion blog. I usually don't like top fashion trends, like glitter shoes etc. I won't do anything like this for sure, but you can expect a small amount of my own ideas:)

Wish you a beautiful day,
Julia

Today in pictures

Cookie Monster cookies with chocolate in the morning - best thing in the world.

Room redecoration in progress - this wall is not painted yet, but I already adore it! 

Wearing white and sheer tunic was the only right solution to survive today. Lace and the little frame are my recent flea market finds. Deer and pansy (sketched on the rubber) will be stamps soon:) 

Favourite small pansies in full bloom (seeded this year).

How about your day?

Flowers & leaves + two treasures

 A few floral collages I made today.

 

Recently I became obsessed with fresh, small leaves. I just adore this shade of green. Although I'm constantly in love with pansies, this one is my favourite today. Which one do you like the most?

A teeny timy treasure I've found in the forest this week. I have an idea what part of tree it is, but I'm not sure.

A beautiful rose I got from my dear boyfriend.

Have a good day<3

drawerpot

My favourite flowerpot ever. I found an old wooden drawer in my basement and took it. That day I bought a lot of pansies for my garden and thought 'why don't I put one in my room?' Later I just connected both thoughts and that's how the idea came.

The olny thing I had to do was covering the bottom of my pot with a plastic bag so as not to let water destroy the wood. Then I put a handful of soil in and the drawerpot was ready to use. Later for more esthetic look I covered the edges of bag with driftwood. Done!

The flowers I have planted

My current obsession - I not only press flowers, but also plant them. I've spent all my money on pansies and various seeds. April is so pretty here!
