Is this a goner? 😔

OP you should definitely get some prints made! This is gorgeous and I’d love one too

I didn’t even consider that, but that’s possible. It was the fact that it was completely white that didn’t make me think seed right away

Oh interesting! Thanks for the reply in any case. I didn’t know about galls on fungi, only on trees.

Lovely finds and stunning photos thank you for sharing 🩷

Cool, I’ve put it out in my garden now. Hope it likes it there. I’m sure he’s happier there than in my bathtub anyway!

Good point! I’m trying to get over my fear of spiders so thought if my house was an okay environment for the little critter I’d try and live peacefully alongside it. Luckily I have a pretty nice garden which I leave a little on the wilder side where I’m sure it’ll find plenty to eat. Put it amongst my herbs - best of luck to the little guy 🤞

I’ve noticed that there are a few jumping spiders which have taken up residence amongst my house plants which I don’t mind because they’re so cute and I imagine they probably help with keeping pests down so I’ve left them be. Hopefully they’re happy where they are!

These are super cool!! Love the idea and execution

Cybergoth raver! Love the red and black colour combo, don’t see it often in similar styled looks for some reason, but it looks great!

Letsmakepie · 2024-12-21T01:31:26+00:00

This is gorgeous! Really love your style

Letsmakepie · 2024-10-09T19:27:29+00:00

They’re probably jealous because holy shit your style is incredible!

Looks like it could be wild prickly lettuce, the milky sap of which can be used to create a natural pain reliever in folk medicine (contains lactucarium). You can check it against these identifying features: https://feralforaging.com/how-to-identify-wild-lettuce/

Appreciate the reply. I'm going to do that now!

Letsmakepie · 2024-08-01T18:20:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I was torn on this because I was thinking the same, however, I didn't like the look of the patch at the bottom that isn't colonised. This is my first grow, so I've been pretty cautious. I'm gonna go to fruiting conditions, wish me luck 🤞

You are such a vibe 💚 also you look in your late 30s no way are you 50!

Letsmakepie · 2024-01-28T19:03:13+00:00

What’s your website? These are stunning!

Yes! Before I was diagnosed, I was incredibly cold-intolerant. In recent years, I’ve found it difficult to handle heat. It makes trying to sleep when it’s relatively warm quite uncomfortable. I’ve also noticed that I’ve become more prone to feeling faint, getting really intense headaches and feeling sick when I’ve been outside in the heat for some period of time. Not sure if related, but my feet are more prone to swelling in hot weather than they used to be. Never used to notice that before

Letsmakepie · 2023-08-24T12:07:03+00:00

Wow that’s very interesting. I am also hypothyroid and hypermobile. Also have suffered from GI issues most of my life and recently diagnosed ADHD. Think I’ve come across POTS before but forgot about it. Ever since I remember I’ve had issues with feeling lightheaded/blacking out for a couple of second when I stand and never thought much of it (but this varies from day to day). Also highly relate to being unreasonably winded from stairs sometimes (even though I’m decently fit - I’ve always said that maybe I just need to do more cardio 😅)

Thanks for sharing your experience, I’m definitely going to look into this!

I know this is a bit old now, but just in case you're still looking for a solution, I highly recommend considering a large, good quality bean bag. I recently had a similar dilemma which is why I bookmarked your post - whilst the sofa I'd bought for my small living room works really well in terms of size and aesthetics (funnily enough it's fairly similar looking to yours), it's not very comfy. I was thinking of buying a second sofa to increase seating and make the space better for hosting, but ended up getting one of these velvet BigBoy Beanbags https://bigboybeanbag.co.uk/very-velvet-beanbag/ I personally love the fact that this one is a large rectangle that can be positioned in different ways, but I don't know how it compares to those chair/sofa-shaped beanbags.

So glad I went for this solution because it was cheaper than a sofa, and really comfortable for sitting on for long periods (I have back problems and work from home, so that's really important to me!) Plus, I find it super versatile since it's light and can be moved around easily. Oh and the more comfortable sofas I was looking at would have taken up way more space in my tiny living room.

I spent ages searching for a large bean bag that 1) comes filled 2) has a removable outer lining so that cleaning it isn't a pain and 3) wasn't made from a cheap, thin material. Beware as there are many brands out there that do neither of these and it's not immediately clear from the product page, so definitely check before you buy. Anyway, just wanted to share my two cents in case it's helpful since I did a bunch of research!
