🐾 His Tiny Highness is managing more frequent little bandy legged kyphotic hunchback movement these days - longer, stronger standings & a few short steps each time before falling down, so the expectation is that it can't be much longer before it all links together into walking!

✨ Hearing that little parcels of hand made happy seasonal creations are arriving safe in the post to their new homes - a huge thank you so much for the amazing support oh lovely folk!

Now in my ko-fi shop…please see bio for link..✨

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature. Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:

Seeking out small beautiful things, especially in nature, is akin to gratitude practice with the positive effect it has on anxiety & mood. Some small beautiful things from the last few days, in case you’re scrolling & feeling low or stressed🌿:

I’ve been too unwell to work for most of this year due to a breakdown. If you enjoy my photos & have a spare second or two might you be able to RT my workshop in my previous post? It would help so much. Thankyou 🌿

As someone's flicked the #Autumn switch I'm putting up some seasonal decs including these crocheted 'shrooms from @wynnandwild.bsky.social Have balanced them in old IKEA candle holders which gives a pleasing fungi meets Dalek effect 🙂

🐌 A very huge thank you to the lovely folk who have ordered crochet goodies - a happy basket of boxed up lovelies were carried off to the post office early this morning, so please to be awaiting the knock of the postie ever so soon...

There’s a field near here where flowers are farmed to sell to London florists & make confetti. It’s breathtaking. If you’re new to my posts maybe pause & take this image in, it will hack your brain slightly-trigger dopamine release & relax you a little to help with stress you might encounter today 🌿

You belong among the wildflowers...🎵

Now in my Etsy store “Naturelostandfound.”

Seeing the fractal patterns of plants (even on a screen) shifts our brain activity from fight or flight to rest & digest due to ancient foraging pathways that are still very active in modern humans. Here's your daily bunch of lovely twigs for your noggin- late June floral snapshot from the garden🌿🧠:

Midsummer!

Best of luck! Your creations are made with skill, and are so cute🙂🍓🌱🍃🌻🐕🌿

🌼A happy shed crafting spell for to stamp & stick & make folksy labels detailing which naturally coloured botanically dyed wool was used to work happy crochet creations so they arrive at new homes with their garden hearted credentials established - next to attach wool samples...

🐾 The daily Dave update - His Tiny Highness had red light laser treatment & hydrotherapy today so was merrily splashing along on the treadmill where it was amazing to see his back legs moving! Sir got to wow his physio team both with his progress & his water sausage cuteness...

Some herbaria/pressed flower collections I've made. I'm basically an Edwardian lady botanist. Take a moment to look at the botanical details in my photos-research shows that looking at eg. my cowslips means you'll recover from stress more quickly today due to the positive effect on your brain...🌿

🐾 The daily Dave update - His Tiny Highness had a ball being fussed at the vets & they are so happy with his progress that meds are being reduced to just a mild pain relief! We garden gathered some strawberries to calm down from all the excitement, so off for a sweet supper...

🐾 The daily Dave update - His Tiny Highness took advantage of a break in the rain for to view the twisty little garden apple tree in blossom; at first yawning in tiredness, then sniffing blooms & avidly following bees, finally grumping as a great fat raindrop landed on his head!

You still have time!

Hi folks.Thanks for all the check ins. I’ve been very down lately,things have been getting to me & then I found our little beacon of hope destroyed which upset me even more. But maybe I need to come back to my Bluesky family.. so here I am. Still waiting for things to get better…but I’m hanging on.

Pretty gold Dogwood Flower pendant went to a new home. 💛 #dogwood #flower #handmadejewelry #garden

🐾 The daily Dave update - His Tiny Highness had his second time in the hydrotherapy tank! Whilst exciting & building spine & back leg strength, it was also a bit of a struggle, leaving Sir exhausted & in need of strong pain relief, so lots of rest now & a gentle day tomorrow...

🐾 The daily Dave update - His Tiny Highness has adored snaffling morsels of lamb from the kitchen table, & then a pile of empty chocolate eggs boxes for Sir to chomp flat for recycling! Home physio has been on sunlit grass with the fuss of visiting family - a dogs life indeed...

🐌 Hurrah for Sunday Snailday once again & spring rains have been nourishing the garden & beshelled beasties are adventuring forth, so the wish for all good folks is for gentleness, remembering Rumi - 'Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.'

🐾 The daily Dave update - His Tiny Highness is very much in the snoozing mood today! Sir is safely nestled inside his soft crate & snoring happily away, so thinking best to let little sleeping sausages lie...

Tulip Brown Sugar. Striped snail.

🫖 Tea leaf-ery of the worst kind - please do report the awful thief account & kindly support the genuine creative wonder of Emma Mitchell! May your tea always be cold is a terrible curse but very much deserved in this instance...

🐾 The daily Dave update - out amongst bluebells & early poppies on the rain shined old stones of the garden path, His Tiny Highness still very sleepy from the hard work of yesterday but wanting to take calls of nature outside with the help of the leg & spinal support harness...

Come on in, the garden gate is open, the kettle is on and there’s a cake about to come out of the oven. open.substack.com/pub/suereed/...

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿
