The Strongest Voice Is the One Within
When the noise around you grows louder and the pressure to act builds—pause.
Breathe.
That inner voice? It’s not just a whisper. It’s wisdom.
You’ve had the answers all along. Trust them.
So I built a little set, pulled out a green screen, and painstakingly created a stop motion video—frame by frame—by hand. No fancy software, no automation, just me, the bee, and a whole lot of coffee-fueled determination.
Fast forward to today, and I look at that little buzzy project and think:
“If I did this now, I’d 100% ask AI to help edit, animate, colour-correct, maybe even write the bee’s origin story.”
Progress, right?
But there’s something magical about that messy, DIY creativity too—something very 2009-core. I’ll never forget the feeling of watching that first janky little animation come to life.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to ask ChatGPT to help my 2025 self write a screenplay for Bee 2: The Buzz Awakens. 🐝💻✨ and I need to crochet some more bees (AI can't do that yet)
This past weekend marked the summer solstice and Midsummer’s Night—the official arrival of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The solstice, the longest day of the year, is a time when the sun seems to pause at its highest point in the sky, bathing everything in golden light. It’s a moment that has been celebrated across cultures for centuries, symbolizing abundance, warmth, and the height of the growing season.
The weather has been scorching, but I’m not complaining—after months of cooler days, the heat feels like a proper welcome to summer. There’s something magical about this time of year: long evenings, vibrant skies, and the feeling that anything is possible. Summer is here, and I’m soaking it all in.
Do you like my new Celtic inspired card, I am doing an oracle card course and trying my hand at designing some cards. Yes I am still crocheting and some new designs will be appearing very soon.
