Oh my this video was packed with so many ideas and beautiful things and lovely thoughts. That you called drying was very helpful. I used to use alum in pickling so I haven't had any for a long time but I will get some the next time I go to the store. I don't have a garden but I do have houseplants that I think I can use to do this and somebody just bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and I will try using some of them. I can't thank you enough for your Channel

Judie thank you so much. Oh how interesting, my son Sam ordered the Alum from Amazon he said it is used for a deodorant ?? ( I read you can use lemon too ) ?? Oh yes house plants and you’re lovely bunch of flowers sound perfect, I used flowers from a bunch once when they were all wilted and dried, the colours seem to intensify. Have fun experimenting 💐

Lemon ginger ice cube recipe. 3 cups water 1 squeezed lemon or 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon honey 1-2 thumbs peeled and coarse chopped ginger Add all to a blender. Wazz for about 3 mins or until ginger well-broken down. Strain through fine sieve. Pour into ice cube tray. Freeze and use as needed. Once you do it a couple times, you will be able to adjust to suit - ie more ginger, less water, etc. if using fresh lemon, can also include the lemon zest for more brightness. 💕

I certainly enjoyed the video. I have lots fabric scraps . May I ask what process you use to cut out your circles? What type fabric is in-between front and back of buttons? I have see you in many live stream chats but this is the first video I have watched oh and the eco dyed papers are very lovely. Love the calming voice and lightning the candle. Very unique. I have subscribed so I will not miss future video. Have a great day.❤

Lisa thank you so much for coming by and for you’re lovely words I do appreciate them ❤️ Oh yes isn’t it great to use our precious little scraps of fabric ! In between the front and back of the button, I use to pad it out, an old fleece jacket, or left over bits of wadding from other projects. Do hope you have a creative week 🪴

Oh sitting here in the garden and just remembered you’re question ! 🫖 I wing it when it comes to cutting out the circles but equally so one could draw round something, the glue stick lid for instance. You be you ❤️

Did you make your own journal or did you send away for it before placing the leaves etc in it & soaking?

[@janetnash]

Hi Trini I made it on one of my lives, used an Amazon cardboard envelope , painty papers, desk paper and sewed it together using the 3 pamphlet stitch.
