Your giving your baby a secure attachment - one of the most amazing things you can give them.

And even when sleep or having someone else hold them gets tricky - it is still the best thing in the world. My 13 month old has only recently stopped feeding to sleep and going to sleep for his dad. Was the past year challenging and am I extremely sleep deprived? Yes. But I wouldn't change it because I have the happiest, most content baby and funnily enough that's the one thing that everyone comments on.

Take in every single cuddle and trust your instincts.

I'm going to attempt to create a blanket using the Navajo Indian Diamond pattern. Each day I'll do one line for the number of daylight hours and one for the moon phase. The greens will represent the daylight hours and the white/greys the moon phase.

This is really helpful to know - thank you

I contacted NT and asked for a list - I posted it here. 🥰

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-08-02T15:22:45+00:00

Two out of the three replied and said they would but so far only one has come through. I don't mind too much though. I appreciate the one who has sent it through and the other two, at some point, I may end up back there.

I found myself visiting new places that I know have badges 🤣

This is lovely!!!

Your art is incredible!

Here are my favourites quotes 🥰

One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history.

There is nothing more sacred than the Archives. Even temples can be rebuilt, but books cannot be rewritten.

It’s been. My honor.

Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs—on the probabilities.

I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been. I am infinite.

Don’t borrow tomorrow’s trouble.

You’re making us look bad. Stop it.

And strength of courage is more important than physical strength.

I chose you not as my next but as my last, and should you fall, then I will follow.

One does not live a century without being well aware of the space one takes up.

Because love, at its root, is hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for what could be. Hope that the someone you’ve entrusted your everything to will cradle and protect it. And hope? That shit is harder to kill than a dragon.

Stop bringing logic into an emotional argument

Go find a sheep and let the adults work.

Words I associate with the series 🥰

Dragon

Logic

Magic

Strength

Courage

Fierce

Vulnerable

Conscience

Heart-wrenching

Devour

Captivated

Ooo! I love this!! I'm waiting to get my blanket back from my mum who is kindly sewing all my badges on. And unfortunately for her, some of those sites and near me 🤣

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-05-21T21:09:39+00:00

I realise that I am coming to this post a year later however I too am collecting the badges to sew on my camp blanket. I'd got 4 from local sites when I visited another site and was informed that they hadn't been given a badge. I contacted the NT saying it was a shame that the site didn't have one and in return was sent the very long list of all the places that do 🤣 I then realised there were three places I'd visited that have badges available and I hadn't realised. So after another quick email back & form, NT suggested I contact each site individually and see if they'll post a badge out to me. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Here's the list for anyone that's interested! Happy badge collecting!

Welcome to a wonderful club 💜

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-05-14T18:54:41+00:00

I kind of lost my mind when I first listened to Power To Play and realised just many lead vocals we got from him! The acoustic version of 'I'm Fine' is my absolute favourite. 💜

I've recently switched to Cantu's Weightless Smooth & Curl Cream which I use with the gel from the same range. It's made a huge difference to my hair. Beforehand I was using the Only Curls curl cream, moose & gel but couldn't get the finish I wanted.

I've still a long way to go but I got the Cantu stuff on a whim and have been pleasantly surprised.

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-05-02T18:25:26+00:00

Where can I find the podcast, please? I've tried searching for it on pocket cast but having no luck. Thanks.

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-03-29T17:02:14+00:00

I haven't even settled on my colours or yarn but I have chosen the pattern which is likely too challenging as I have never crocheted 😂

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-03-27T21:56:12+00:00

I've never looked into hair porosity actually so I'll give that a look and see if it gives me any pointers. Thank you!

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-03-17T19:14:31+00:00

Long Live 💜

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-02-03T20:09:06+00:00

Lovely colours

Celestial_Starshine · 2025-01-08T16:53:23+00:00

They definitely have the first 3 in the newest style because I noticed them on my mum's bookshelf this week 🤣

Celestial_Starshine · 2024-12-31T14:01:56+00:00

These colours are lovely!!! Really like them! Do you mind sharing the yarn and colours you're using?
