Circle of Compassion

Our task must be to free ourselves... 

by widening our circle of compassion 

to embrace all living creatures

and the whole of nature and it's beauty.”  

Albert Einstein

Fairy Party-Lights Tutorial

Fairies love to dance and on hot summer nights they dance until dawn. Lightened by the moon or lampions made of Physalis flowers. I thought I surprise them by creating some party-lights out of used Nespresso cups for their next dance event.

Required Materials:

- used Nespresso cups

- Christmas lights (string of 10 lights)

- scissors

- needle

- teaspoon

- acces to water

- a towel

- optional; hot glue gun

1 - Collect some Nespresso cups.
(in different colors)

2 - Cut the silver cap open with a pair of scissors.

3 - Use a teaspoon to remove the coffee-grounds.

4 - Rinse with water to clean the cup 

and dry it with a towel inside and outside.

5 - Prick with a needle a hole on top and use the scissors to enlarge the hole.

6 - Prick some decor on the side of the cups.

7 - Gently push the Christmas lights into the cups. Secure with a glue gun if you use the lights outdoors and use outdoors Christmas lights in this case.

Well, what do you think...isn't it romantic?

First Garden Day

Today was our first real day in the garden this season!

It was lovely, there were bees and sunbathing ladybugs and although the garden looks quite shabby this time of year, the sun gave everything a magical glow.
