Update! This isn’t all of the little balls I’ve dyed, but it’s most of them (another 16 or so are wrapped together to make a giant ball which I will post soon!)
These colours are all achieved by using natural materials such as onion peel, berries, seeds etc. Click here to see all my other posts about natural dyes.
@samanticshift you’d think this was cool
Coming out of our town water taps today. Luckily we have a full rainwater tank. (at Williamstown, Victoria, Australia)

Lunches made for the week yay.
Female football on the big stage.
It didn’t happen overnight, it took a century.
It took pioneers; it took a group of women to follow their own path.
When the world said ‘know your place’, they said ‘forward pocket’And a century on, they’re still fighting that fight.
A hundred years of female footy took commitment,
and it’s going to take a lot more from us all,
Because the next 100 years are going to be bigger, a lot bigger
People who are working on fulfilling some image they have of a “nice person” are usually a pain in the ass. Their efforts to be like the “nice person” they’ve invented in their heads almost always get in the way of actually doing what needs to be done. Most of the time I’d rather be around someone who is honestly selfish than someone who is forever trying to be selfless. The kind of forced helpfulness such people engage in is almost never helpful at all. It’s annoying. Sometimes it’s even harmful.
But those of us who realize that we actually aren’t as good as we could be have a real dilemma. What do you do when you recognize that you really are greedy, envious, jealous, angry, pessimistic and so on and on and on?
To me, it seems like the recognition of such things is itself good enough. It’s not necessary to envision a better you and try to remake yourself in that image. Just notice yourself being greedy and very simply stop being greedy. Not for all time in all cases. Just in whatever instance you discover yourself being greedy. If you’re greedy on Tuesday for more ice cream, don’t envision a better you somewhere down the line who is never greedy for more ice cream. Just forgo that last scoop of ice cream right now. See how much better you feel. This kind of action, when repeated enough, becomes a new habit. Problem solved.
