Spring

Spring comes, weather’s getting warmer, wind brings a fresh inspiration to eager minds all around. Alas, waking from winter slumber.

Here comes the question – am I ready? Gimme 5 more minutes I’d say now. Let me drink my coffee. Let me think, plan ahead.

A few weeks ago I planted some veggies and fruits and they died when I didn’t water them enough when I had a high fever for a few days. It hurts me so much, it was going so well. My poor green babies! It makes me think that no matter how elaborate plan one can have, one can’t forsee the future.

And that’s ok.

I woke up from the cold and ran head first into a wall of ice. And Spring said slow down.

I like to think that Spring wanted me to enjoy how the plants sprout and grow, so they would give me joy and pride everytime I see a new leaf, instead of wanting to grow them as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

It is ok to fail. No matter whose or what’s fault it is. And that’s gonna be my thought for this season. As nonglamourus as it can be. I decided to learn how to live like this over the next few months.

Yeah!

Who knows, maybe that’s what I’m missing all along? A few non-anxiety-inducing fails? 😉

To ease the mind over a thought that not everything can be perfect ❤

So! Let me sit back and enjoy my morning coffee. Water my flowers. And then, after breakfast, we can try again~

Love, Juliet

Winter, hello 2022

My peace

It’s been a while 🙂 Winter scenery, all the colours and lights, gives me so much peace. I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed, getting a rough start in the new year, with all the bad memories and no energy, especially with all the things I planned to do and accomplish :’)

I feel like I’m back in a way, but this one-month-setback discouraged me so much, it feels like I’ve wasted the whole January And saying that you shouldn’t dwell on things since the world wouldn’t wait for you doesn’t help. I should always hurry. I shouldn’t waste time. But why? Does it all come back to measuring one’s worth with productiveness?

I’ve been exercising and working on graphics in January, meeting some friends too. But somehow everything screams “you didn’t do enough”. And then I got sick at the beginning of February, which is now :”””) excellent :’)

But I don’t want to come back to writing here with depressing thoughts. Although these are my thoughts. I don’t knooooow :'<

Anyway! I have a new, or rather old, story in mind, which I’d like to write here on this blog, just as I was writing The Steam. I got stuck with my book, so I thought it would be nice to write something else. Just because ^^

And the main character of the story suits the winter scene~

The story is one I came up with ages ago but never written it properly. I only drew the characters a lot ^^ But that’s more or less how my stories come to life, however meh they could be xD And I just realised I haven’t really posted my stories here much, except for some poems and The Steam. Gotta change that.

Ahhh I have so many ideas! But hey, writing here is bringing me such closure somehow :’D I have so many unpublished drafts too. Maybe I should just write, haha

Love,

Juliet

Graphics and stuff

Time is passing so quickly > . <

Welcome to March everybody. I have to say I’m slowly getting discouraged. It’s been a year already. I want to meet people, travel, be able to visit my grandma without fear. Eh.

But anyway, I’m mastering up the courage to do stuff today. Yesterday I replanted a leafy plant, but instead of putting it in a bigger pot, I divided it to 3 separate pots. So now I have 3 instead of one 😀

We also cleaned out the big heavy old furniture left by the previous owners of the place. Needed a few people for that, haha. But now we have more space and we can do stuff! I can get some more stuff too :3c But we’ll see ^^

I’m looking forward to planting the things too! I have quite a few seed packets, and I really wanna try growing something cool in the garden :3 let’s do it! Gotta make raised beds first tho… For now, I do not know which place would be the best to place them I wanna get a mini greenhouse too, to start some saplings inside!

I guess it is some way to organise my thoughts… But ehh, I’m so discouraged still. I don’t want to get out of bed, it all feels pointless. Although I made some cool graphics recently, so I guess I’m not that useless afterall :’)

Here’s some dango, with link to my new graphic design Instagram. Check it out if you’re interested 😉

I’m planning on streaming today, so maybe it will make me feel better? We’ll see 🙂

Oke! That’s it for today, see ya~

Something calm 🏺

This Sunday I decided to submerge myself in arts of pottery. Or rather try to make something from clay ^^

Clay clay

I have to say, I’m not very good at this as I’m very impatient and have no idea how to use clay. 3D is hard not gonna lie!

It’s so much fun though! I’ve made some mushrooms and a little seal! So cute -^^-

Also! First crops started appearing in my little balcony garden!

Hello there

Strawberries! Can you imagine? It’s so exciting 💛

I planted some more stuff as well. I’ve been scrapbooking too, quite a lot I’d say! :3

That’s it for the news I guess. My life lately has been work-art-garden-wedding preparation circle.

But there’s so much to look forward to! Summer is here and everyone seems happier and hopeful. Stay safe and hopeful everyone!

Love

Juliet

Herbal garden 🌿

I could finally go to the allotment and plant some stuff! It was a wonderful sunny day, so warm and cosy ❤ Truly enjoyable (despite sun burning the heck out of my back while I was working)

Stylish gloves :3

I even recorded a video! A little vlog ^^ I especially love how the light bounces off water droplets when I water the herbs :3c

The ground is dry and the whole place is kind of messy, for the longest time we couldn’t even go there because of how the situation in the world is right now. But now we can! And there’s almost no people there so it’s such a relief.

I managed to read a chapter of a book, it started with a rather morbid one, I’m not sure if you want spoilers but here you go, it was about a widow who desperately wanted to save life of her son who was hanged. As you can imagine it didn’t go very well. I was left with “well, that’s a beautiful story for a nice sunny day, isn’t it” :’) I didn’t mind it though, cause it was very nicely written.

So that’s it for today! I’m a bit frustrated lately, but I’m trying to keep my head out of feeling miserable pit. Everyone has a right to feel meh! Remember! Be kind to one another 🌻✨🍓

Love ya,

Juliet

Flowers~🌼

You crazy little plants! I’m loving you.

Hello there! (General Kenobi! 🎬⚔️) [worst entrance possible, but a cool fight]

That would be me with allergies I guess ;3 Anyway, time for an update! The other plants are growing nicely, yay! But this time I present to you how crazy the flowers have gone. First one, that you can see above, is alyssum. It sprouted first and I was so surprised just how much it had shown and how quickly! Wow. Also, I’m discovering English names for flowers (most of my vocabulary for plants comes from farming games!) and this one I’ve read as ‘asylum’ and was like whaaaat

Ooooh~💕

Next up, strawflower! Can you make a straw hat from strawflowers? Well, you probably can if you try hard enough but I don’t necessarily recommend it, haha 🌾 This ones were second to show up but oh boy, they didn’t disappoint either! It looks so strong! And it’s gonna be sooo cute. I bought a nice cute thing to serve as a pot when they grow some more✨ :3c

Daaaisy, daaaaisy

Are daisies strawflowers? I honestly have no idea, they look so similar. But here it comes, daisy! I’ve always loved daisies, they used to grow in front of my block of flats when I was little and in our garden (on the allotment). Later on, when I was a teenager I think, my mum got some beautiful fluffy – looking flowers to grow on the windowsill in the living room and I immediately fell in love with them only to learn that they are indeed also species of daisy! Haha. So it all goes back to my childhood in the end.

Thing that got my concern was the time of planting, since I’ve seen that they would rather be planted in june than in may, and I noticed only after actually planting them. But they sprouted, so it’s good I guess!

Long story short, I have decorative kind of daisy growing nicely on my balcony ^^

I also planted magnolias at the same time I planted the others, but they are not there yet. I wonder if they will grow at all? Hope so! I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to plants really (city gurl, wohoo), but I’m learning and it feels so nice! I got some little guides with pictures about herbs and garden flowers too :3

Oh! And I can finally start going to the allotment! So I can plant some stuff there, huhuhu :3c It’s kinda late for that, but might as well try, right? ^^

That’s it for today! Thank you for reading and have a nice day 🌻

See ya!

Juliet

Absolutely crazy!

Plants are going absolutely crazy, and new things are sprouting~

Lavender, princess~

I mean look at that lavender!

Hello lovely!

And little rosemary checkin out the world. Come on, you can do it! I thought it would take months for it to show itself.

Grrrrroooow!

Chives and raddishes are doing well as well :3c And sunflowers too!

Wohoo!

And raddish started to change the leaves. I’ve been wondering what happens to these baby leaves when it grows, I guess I’ll see with my own two eyes! Haha

Curious~

That’s it for today’s little update! I planted and replanted some more stuff yesterday too, they are more on flowery side :3 at the moment I’m hoping for strawberry to survive, gardening shop did me dirty, I found bunch of rubbish in the pots I got the plants in! Like screws, plastic, paper… I mean, come on! I am really hoping it would turn out well, I’m so worried… They are planted in a nice pot with nice ground and lots of space to grow so cross your fingers it will be fine!

Sorry for this little rant haha ^^ Have a nice day, tend to your gardens, don’t look directly at the sun, scream at the sky… or maybe not 🌻🤣

See ya~!

Juliet

Hi hi

Hello everyone~

Juliet here!

So anyway, we all know what’s happening in the world, so I’m not gonna write about this. Nah.

But! I wanna give u an update on Radio and Wave (from the story I’m writing)! I got them to the point I wanted them to be, and I’m sooo excited. Funny thing to be excited about your own characters, huh? It makes me happy :3

I gained a new follower on twitch! Huhu :3c thanks for following brooo

I also snapped a photo of the sky, here u go

I like sky and I like purple it seems. And I like quokkas, I drew this today!

His name is Nathaniel and he likes colorful ribbons 🎀

Have a nice day everyone! Stay healthy and stay safe ❤

I’m back, hello there :D

There has been so much going on, I left this blog be. Meh. I want to set some goals for the new year since it’s so original :3c

First of all, WEDDING, OH MY GOSH IT’S IN SEPTEMBER

Inserting the photo to calm down xD I took it a few days ago, I really love the contrast of daylight and moon. Isn’t the soft contrast beautiful?

Anyway, I gotta continue writing TheSteam, I stopped putting it out there, though I’m still kind of updating it. I’m at the point where I know where I want to take the characters, but I need that smooth transition between events, so I can’t just write later part separately.

When it comes to writing, I’m writing some daily comics, and I want to do it this year. Daily comics! I’m not putting them out just yet, since I want to write like 10-15 to have that margin if I can’t write/draw every single day.

Also, journaling! I tried bullet journal, but I’m doing that kinda in reverse now, instead of writing “to do” I wrote what I managed to do and ideas for the future. Every time I couldn’t fullfil my “to do” list I felt like garbage, and writing my accomplishments of the day is giving me a sense of victory and satisfaction.

I want to change my mindset into not being guilty of sharing my successes and accomplishments. I was taught my whole life to be extremely humble and to not share something if it’s not perfect. In the end nothing is perfect and there’s always someone better than you at something, so duh.

So, my art, writing, even streaming on twitch – I wanna get it out there. Out there and be happy and content about it. Not brag about it, but not be afraid to say “yes, I’m doing something nice with my life, here you can see if you like!”. What I learned is that there are people that are genuinely interested or don’t mind hearing about stuff.

That sounds like positivity talk, but honestly, I feel like it’s the year to get my butt out there and show the world I am actually capable of something xD

Anyway, this is getting long so I’m going to end this post here and write a compact one afterwards :3c Love ya!

Bye byeee ~ ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

Hello monday

I have trouble sleeping past few days, and so I feel much weaker than usual. And I usually feel bad.
