[01.10.2024; first day of my challange]

So my dears, I need to do a glow up by the end of this year. Remember what resolutions you had? I do. I wanted to be more organized, study better, write a journal, exercise at least 3x a week and more. It was different this year, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Ultimately, I am better now than I was at the beginning, but I am not the best I can be. I decided that I had to make my own challenge that would be a combination of "75 hard" and "100 days of productivity". I called it just "quarter project" because it is scheduled to last for the last three months of this year. I guess it's time to learn the rules.

Rules of "quarter project"

Stick to your diet, 1200 kcal, no "cheat" meals and alcohol

Drink at least 2.5 liters of water (we counting only water)

Read for at least 20 min AND audiobook/podcast episode

Minimum 50 minutes of study (Studying for final exams, lessons and languages)

Write a daily journal with a description of your day, gratitude and affirmations

Gym 3x a week and 3k steps every day

make a daily Tumblr post, insta & progress photo

not skipping skincare routine

Maximum 4 hours using the phone

Sleep 7-8 hours a day

Take a step towards realizing your dreams

If you also want to do this challenge with me, you can also use your own rules.

XOXO culivio

Time for another traditional embroidery mend! This time, we're trying out the Puncetto Valsesiano stitch, which, after I finished this up, I've found, is an entire style of needlelace! For this patch, though, we just did stitch after stitch after stitch, no fancy patterning. (I might do fancy patterning later, to be fair! been reading up on things, and I've got a few smaller repairs to make that would suit it quite nicely!)

One row of stitches in, and I was thinking, oh this can't be so bad! this is actually quite soothing, all these repetitive actions, and with such a delightful, knitting-like texture!

This many stitches in, and sure, I'm still having a good time, but mostly, I'm finding out how much thread this takes! Poor razz, @razzmatazic, I thought this was going to be a simple, small patch, so I borrowed her thread to work on this one! You can't quite tell in this shot, but I'm actually about to run out of thread!

After likely much, much more fuss than was strictly necessary, including accidentally picking a slightly different color of floss because of some mislabeled strands, noticing I'd dropped enough stitches to need to throw some extra ceylon stitching in a gap, and a probably pretty noticable shift in texture because of single vs. double threading, we've got ourselves a patch that, even despite its shortcomings, I really dig the look of!

Unfortunately, I didn't make this patch wide enough generally, so I've got a few more holes that'll be getting filled by a big 'ol sashiko patch that's going to layer overtop the puncetto, eventually! Stay tuned, I'm just as curious as you are as to how that'll look.

Our lives were turned upside down in a matter of days.

The home we built over the years is now gone, and we are left searching for safety in the midst of destruction.

Every day feels like a fight for survival, but we still hold onto the hope that things can get better with the help of kind souls like you.

Your support can help us take the first step toward rebuilding what was lost.

🌱useful daily habits🌱

🔮Stretch in the morning and in the evening: since I started stretching first thing in the morning, and last thing in the evening, my muscles are less tense. In the morning you’ll feel less sleepy and more active; meanwhile, in the evening it’ll help relax your muscles and have a more comfortable sleep.

🔮Write down your dreams/nightmares: if you have a nightmare and can’t go back to sleep, write it down somewhere. It’ll fade from your mind and you’ll be able to fall asleep again without getting any more nightmares. Also, writing down your dreams and searching the meaning of them might make you understand what’s your brain/heart going through.

🔮Meditate once in a while: meditating rewired my brain. I do it once in a while because I don’t always have the time, but it shouldn’t feel like a chore! It should be something you do for your own wellness; you won’t regret it as you will feel calmer, confident, and at peace.

🔮Journal and write gratitude: spending even just 5/10 minutes writing down your toughts in the evening and how certain things made you feel helped me take off things from my mind, treat it like your secret diary. Meanwhile writing down at least 3 things you’re grateful for every day will improve your happiness and will make you more self-conscious about how privileged you are!

🔮Gua-sha or roll your face: depuff your face and improve blood circulation, other than make those cheekbones look SNATCHED and you soon won’t need contour (be consistent!).

🔮Read at least 20 minutes a day: reading at least 20 minutes a day, usually before bed, is my favorite hobby. I get off my phone, it makes me more productive, and reading itself is a very healthy habit.

P.S. daily reminder that you're not forced to follow up with everything on this list! everyone has different priorities and necessities, so i just wanted to share what worked for me. don't pressure yourself to always reach the impossible standard that social media wants us to have, live your life and have fun!<3

stay safe! xx💞

I haven't been posting about this here, but I've been doing a good deal of visible mending, figured now is a good time to start posting!

Up first, we've got a little sashiko! It's no secret these comfy elastic-fibered jeans have trouble holding up to anything beyond basic wear, so I threw a (loosely adapted) yarai pattern on these jeans to get them holding together longer!

This being my first pass at sashiko, it's far from my best work (I get better later, as you'll see soonventually) but I still find it quite charming, if I'm honest! These jeans would have been toast if I hadn't put this patch on, and the sashiko technique here reinforces a weak spot quite nicely, so my thighs don't absolutely wreck these jeans quite so quickly.
