happy winter solstice!

mandala art + hippie me..

for those of you who don't know me:  i'm jules (julia) & i am studying media design & visual art, my background is swedish/german, you can find me wandering around in a forest searching for mushrooms, crafting and creating art is what i love doing the most, my dream is to some day open up my own thrift shop, and i adore cats!

i love natural sunlight coming through my window in the winter..

i'm just your local treehugger..

yesterday it was springlike weather so we went on a forest adventure..please let it snow!!🌿🐢🪲🐛🍃🐸🌳

traditional dried orange christmas garland..

this was super fun to make with mom..we sliced two oranges, wiped excess juice with paper towel, placed them on parchment paper on cookie sheet & put in oven at 200f & you have to flip them over every 30 min. for 2 hours until they are dried out but not over done..then we take simple thread &  needle & strung popcorn & cranberries to the oranges & then put them hung the garlands over doorways..we did make more..

skandinaviska jul nature tree..

we decided to finally get a 7.5 feet christmas tree..lots of mushrooms and gnomes and owls etc..

and we put our old jul tree up in basement..

painted boho doodles..

felt creative yesterday and had fun with watercolors..
