So this lockdown thing is getting boring now. Days were starting to merge beforehand but now everything is definitely becoming one. I’m also really sorry for not posting anything recently. No excuses, I just didn’t do it. I could blame the dog or something else but that would be lying.

I’m still working my way through my cardigan. Two fronts, the back and most of one sleeve now.

It’s coming along well but have to say sleeves seem to go on forever. It feels like I’ve been working on the first sleeve for about 6 weeks. (I may be over exaggerating but that’s what it feels like).

I made a start on Jane the Pangolin the other day. I did that to just break up the monotony of the sleeve. I haven’t finished it yet but she has a body, a head, 2 ears and 2 back legs. I’ll stuff them and see them all up at some point in the future.

What else have I been up to? Well craft wise it’s just been the cardigan and the pangolin, nothing else. I’ve been getting into aromatherapy recently to. I think I mentioned using essential oils to keep the bugs away last time, can’t remember though but that’s what I’ve been using.

At the moment I have a diffuser pumping out a blend of cinnamon, eucalyptus, sandalwood and lavender. It’s smells good and it’s making me feel chilled so no worries.

I made up a blend for anxiety in a little roller bottle the other day. That smells really nice, it’s cleansing, comforting and it helps me get out of the panic, stresses and worry. I’ll share the recipe with you. Just remember, if you use it and it helps spare a thought for me. I seem to love it but if I start using it I struggle to stop almost to the point that I could shower in it. Here is the recipe:

• 12 drops Cosmic Cleaner
• 6 drops Sweet orange
• 6 drops Neroli
• 6 drops Bergamot
• 6 drops Lemon
• 3 drops Rosewood
• 3 drops Frankincense
• 3 drops Lavender
• 3 drops Clary Sage
• Top up with Sweet Almond Oil

Cosmic cleaner is a gem essence I came up with in 2006/7 and it’s still going strong. I’ve gone through a few dosage bottles but the stock and mother bottles are still fine. It is great for cleansing and charging things energetically just like the name suggests. Here is the recipe for that

Quite a few powerful crystals there but that should explain why it’s the way it is. And if you’re interested it works out as 12 drops from the mother bottle to the stock bottle and twelve drops to the dosage bottle. And each dose is 12 drops. It’s good stuff.

That reminds me that over the past few weeks I’ve made another gem essence. This one is called Stop, as the name suggests it’s a strong essence for protection. I made it with Black Tourmaline and Selenite in a clear quartz essence bowl on a Selenite plate in a pyramid surrounded by Selenite wands.

That one worked out as 3 drops down to stock and dosage and then 3 drops from the dosage bottle to another bottle. This bottle had the 3 dosage drops and some essential oils and the bottle topped up with water. The oils I used were:

• Clove Bud
• Sage
• Bay Laurel
• Black Pepper
• Lemon

All that one takes is just one drop at a stopping place (where you want things to stop and go no further). That’s where the name Stop came from. It’s very potent and protective and works wonders for stoping anything negative from passing. One drop at doors and windows keeps you safe and secure.

The only other thing I can think of that I’ve done was clean my room. Anyway hope you all stay safe and well. Spare a thought for people around you that may be lonely. I know we’re all supposed to be socially distancing but there are other ways you can reach out. Drop them a message or a letter, or give them a call. Now is a time for distancing ourselves and for coming together and working for the good of all.

There are a few utter twatwaffle turnip sucking troglodytes out there that are continuing to go out and spread this disease about and they should all be ashamed of them selves, they’ll be the first to moan if they lose someone close but I’m not sure even if that will hit the message home to them.

Anyway sod them and their selfish ways, big love to one and all, stay safe and

LOVE AND LIGHT.
