What are your predictions for 2025? And what would you like to call in?

Another lovely cosy video,Ruby. Thank you for the onion cutting tip. When I am cutting more than one onion I go outside and using the chopping board on the picnic table. As you can imagine conditions are challenging at times. I'm also a lover of moss and have many saved photos I've taken which I use for reference. The west coast of the south Island of NZ is a very wet environment and consequently a moss paradise. Crouching down to take photos is like entering a different world.💞

[@DottyDelightful]

ohh yes I can imagine that is a bit challenging! I would love to visit NZ, it has been on my moss wishlist for a long time

My goodness dear lady , when I see your smiley face I just get happier and happier .Summer here in NewZealand has been wild and windy so far , quite cold and my garden is confused . Courgettes are looking good , radishes went to seed , the birds ate my early plums . Haha , the life of a happy gardener . I am so glad I found you .

[@DottyDelightful]

what a wonderful thing to say, I am glad it makes you feel like that, summer here last year was the same for us, hardly anything grew well and nature was super confused, the birds ate all my elderberries despite me feeding them daily! thank you for sharing what it is like in NZ at the moment, I am so glad you are here!

[@JudedirectStudio]

Lovely to see a new post from you. I totally agree with you about the year ahead and the choice of paths. I love moss too!!!

[@DottyDelightful]

@@JudedirectStudio thanks for watching, ahh a kindred spirit 🥰

[@Lucyvanb]

Ruby darling you've done it again! I absolutely loved every second. You kept me company whilst I was washing up last night and this morning I realised the dishes were still a bit dirty as I couldn't look away from the screen 😂 that's the power of Ruby!

[@DottyDelightful]

@@Lucyvanb 🤣🤣 that’s the best and oddest compliment ever 😂 I love that!!

[@suebolton2825]

Love the deer painting!! Happy new year to you. 🥰

I am glad you love them, thank you for watching

[@susannautterback6815]

Hi Ruby good to see you! We have snowy wintery weather here in my state. It’s really pretty. I embrace and honor all seasons. Just ordered the Winter zine… it looks so lovely! I have been sleeping a lot but I know my body is calling for that…I used to feel guilty but now I understand the need, at least for me. Take care and Blessed be in this cycle of rest❤️✨

[@DottyDelightful]

we got a tiny bit of snow yesterday, but it soon melted, thank you for ordering the winter zine, it made my heart happy. We have been sleeping in a lot too, Tom is back at work today so it felt un-natural getting out of bed so early. Yes winter is the time for slowing down for sure, sending you brightest blessings x

[@Lucyvanb]

Thanks for the onion chopping tip, your wisdom and the beautiful shots. Always such a joy. What an honour to know and love you ❤ ps i want to own ALL your zines they're so beautiful 😍❤️

[@DottyDelightful]

@@Lucyvanb aww thanks for watching love, it’s an honour to know you too beauty x

Such an amazing video. A great way to start my day❤ Thank you so much for this. Blessings all❤

[@DottyDelightful]

ahh I am so glad you enjoyed it, have a wonderful day lovely x

[@iuliamare1580]

Totally agree with you about 2025 (first quarter of the century 😁) You nailed it with this video, Ruby! I'm not an artist, but both my 14 year old daughter and my husband are, so your stories help me understand them better 🥰

[@DottyDelightful]

@@iuliamare1580 ahh yes I hadn’t twigged that, first quarter how significant! Oh I love that it helps you, thank you for watching

[@HouseofFloraMay]

Glad we are on the same path GF. Looking forward to a beautiful 2025

[@DottyDelightful]

"two paths diverged in a wood and - - i took the path less traveled by..." -Robert Frost They called the books "choose your own adventure" books here in the U.S.

[@DottyDelightful]

@@amandagloverart ohhh thank you!!! Yes that’s what they are called here too, thanks for reminding me

[@AlisonGreenValleyCrone]

We use ground almonds in the crumble mix, instead of sugar - yummy

[@DottyDelightful]

ohh thats a good idea, I will try that next time, I do like the flavour of the coconut sugar but I also love the flavour of almonds, thank you

[@dat10293]

[@Lizziemh]

Love this video Ruby!! I agree wholeheartedly with what you’re saying about 2025 🥰 so refreshing to hear someone with a similar mindset! Also, what type of pan are you using to make your curry? 🥹 I really like it and it’s inspired me for my cooking!! Have a wonderful year ahead ✨💫🌙 xxx

[@DottyDelightful]

@@Lizziemh I’m glad you feel that way too, it’s often easy to think you are the only one with these thoughts. It’s by Emma Bridgewater, it was part of the autumn collection two years ago, I think they are listed as casserole on her website

[@reiki.bee.spirit]

Hi Ruby, I'm the same, making plans but not starting resolutions or anything at present. I plan to take some nice photos to use as backgrounds in my videos, I am off to Spain in April so hoping for some different scenery mainly nature based. I plan to grow veg and flowers again and attenda wellbeing event. My obsession with crocheting will continue lol

[@DottyDelightful]

@@reiki.bee.spirit ohh that sounds just perfect, I love all of that for you

[@enchantedscot]

Omg someone else who has been down the “is Jesus a mushroom” rabbit hole!! I have a thing about mushrooms as I think I said in a previous comment. Totally get what you are saying about the junction. It’s what I have come to understand as the 3D/5D split. It’s an exciting time. Keep up the good work ❤

[@DottyDelightful]

@@enchantedscot it’s fascinating isn’t it, so many rabbits holes hahahaha

[@enchantedscot]

@ yes it is and have eventually ordered that zine! You’ll know it’s me as the address sounds posher than it is.

[@jenm.263]

It's a song by Megadeth called Symphony of Destruction, on the album Countdown to Extinction. I won't be taking that path either!

[@DottyDelightful]

@@jenm.263 that’s it!! My daft brain couldn’t remember 🤣

[@heutegibtsnudeln9233]

Happy new year Ruby, I want to ask if you’re planning to host a Zine workshop some time this year? I‘m interested in learning it and would come over to England if possible. January all feels like hibernating to me. Days are far too dark and short and I sleep a lot. But I like to get ideas of what to learn and what to create this year. Sending you love from the north of Germany 💚 Claudia

[@DottyDelightful]

@@heutegibtsnudeln9233 hi Claudia, yes I am, I am just waiting for news on a special new place I might be getting, and then I can start planning events. It would be lovely to have you

A Fork in the road? Also I love your cooking pot! So cute! Where did you find it?

[@DottyDelightful]

@@AK-pq4zz yes that’s it! Honestly my brain sometimes 😂 it’s an Emma Bridgewater one from her Halloween collection a couple of years ago

[@AK-pq4zz]

Thank you! I just love it :)
