Clow Cards

A few years back my ex bought me a clow card deck from the anime called Card Captors. I've treasured it for a long time. When I was younger I always wanted a deck.

When I wanted it I wondered if i could use it as a  tarot deck, and finally really thinking about it. I think I could, so I've been looking online to see what I could find with using clow cards as tarot cards and well, I found some stuff.

I have to look into tarot cards and reading them a bit more before I really get into it.  For now I'm going to research and I'm probably going to plug this stuff into my book of shadows so I can have it.

New plant

So I found myself a plant to start looking after. I was really excited when I spotted it. Its a little succulents echeveria grus, It was growing on the road so I went over and dug it up a bit and then brought it home. Its doing pretty good. Its really tiny. I'm going to move it later into a different home. but its just a little thing. It took me awhile to ID it.

Its doing really well. I should water it soon though. :)

Easter

Easter was this weekend, I sadly don't have much to say about Easter this year. I had a quiet Easter which is odd. I feel like I miss Easter chocolate hunting or doing Easter themed crafts. But I didn't do that this year. Tomorrow I might hunt for Easter chocolates. >3> cause I have sweet tooth. Oh but this Easter I did do something different. I hung out with my friend. Shes moving out of my city soon so we've been hanging out a lot, and this weekend we went to the lake and hiked around the area a bit before coming back to my place and we watched movies.  I really liked that. I also really liked the fresh air. I hope the fresh air can help me with healing.

Thoughts

My disorders aren't me.
My hobbies are me,
My interests are me,
My inspirations to keep going are me.

I feel like my disorders at most paint a picture of my negative side of me. The part that has gone through pain, trauma. Events that can not be taken back. Those are the parts that define me. And I think everyone has events that define them.

Like, here is an idea. You are a kid and you are tossing a ball at a tree, a bee's nest falls from the tree, and bees come out and are angry at you. So you run away trying to not be stung by bees. And you don't. You get inside at the nick of time, but that event will shape you. You probably won't be tossing a ball at a tree anytime soon. You might also feel a bit jumpy around bees. That's normal, that's an event that your brain has remembered and you have shaped yourself around it. That's not bad. Everyone has this happen. We store events, we keep them. We keep them so we don't redo them. So we don't injury yourself again.  That's why they define you. They don't mean your a horrid person because you upset bees. Just like my trauma's don't mean I'm a bad person I went though so much.

But for me, my personality has developed its self around events after more events. I feel like my body, my mind, my brain. Never really had time to be able to breath between bad things. That's why I have a personality disorder and other mental illnesses. They are just protection that's been added to me.

So yes, my mental illnesses are there, and they helped me become the person I am today. I feel like in a way, they are like a supporting branch, and all the others things about me, they branch off of there, trying to find their way to the sun.

For me its really tough, and at the same time it frustrates me because I try really hard not use my disorders to describe me. Like if I was asked to describe myself, I would reflect on it. Yes, probably a lot of negative qualities and things I do know about me that aren't that great would most likely mount in my brain first.  Like my shyness, my anxiety, my depression, I can get really emotional and feel like everything in my life is falling from me...

But If I give myself a few more minutes, I can brain storm a list of things I am that sound like me. Like I'm strong, and I'm an independent person. I like reading, and I'm pretty smart. I'm opening to learning and I am pretty in touch with my emotions.

Its just, its hard.

I'm me, I'm not my disorders.
I'm me.

Tigers eye

Tigers eye is one of my favorite stones I own. I own a couple, because they are so stunning. I love the stone for its natural looks, but I also like it for its healing properties.  Tigers eye was one of my first stones I have ever own.  It'll forever be my fav.




♥ Protection ♥ Clear thinking ♥ Personal empowerment ♥ Integrity ♥ Willpower ♥ Practicality ♥ Grounding ♥ Power ♥ Courage ♥ Grace
Its also a really good stone for people with emotional issues. (Like bpd) and its really good for anxieties. Its a good stone to balance people out. Its also a good protection stone and as above suggests its for a few other things that help with someones self worth and self esteem and give people a better sense of 'self'.

Reading

“When you read you can have every adventure. In the pages of a book you can be anyone you ever dreamed of being... They can never tell you you're too young to slay the dragon -- because it all happens right here, where it's safe.”
― Janette Oke, Love Comes Softly

This is probably one of my favorite quotes and its really true. I really love reading for that reason. I love going on adventures and reading what happens to my favorite characters. I feel so many emotions.

90's Movies?

So I've been watching movies from the 90's. I feel like I missed out on some really good movies from back then, because I was way to young to watch movies. So I've been binge on 90's movies. They are really good, yeah the fashion sense back then was a little silly at times. But Most of the movies I've seen have pretty good messages. 

The few I've watched that I've liked so far are...

• Cruel intentions 
• Sleeping with the Devil
• Lethal Lolita

Those are the ones I've really liked that I've seen so far.

I kind of really am not a fan of a lot of the cult classics.

Spring Equinox

Spring is coming everyone! I think I said that in my last post, but spring is going to be here soon. I'm really excited for another reason. My reason is the spring equinox is happening this weekend, which makes me excited. For once I'm aware of it coming. Which also then means I can finally properly celebrate! 

I'm a sea witch, so I have ideas of how I want to do my alter, make one for a temporary period of time.  I'm going to start googling some ideas for this years spring equinox and see what I can figure out to do. I have a lot of gem stones and I do have a bit of witch craft supplies. Its really going to just see what ends up happening. 

But yeah, I'm excited because I'll be able to do my first proper ceremony.  

Keep The Spiders Away.

Spring is basically here, tomorrow is the last day of winter. And I've been doing some cleaning and tidying here and there. I also was thinking about something that happens yearly. Which is spiders getting into your house. I will say I prefer spiders over other bugs. Because spiders don't make the buzzing noses or fly into walls or windows. But I still don't like having spiders in my house unless they are really necessary.


So I was looking online about home remedies and I came across something about and for spiders. Spiders are neat, if there outside and they don't brother crawling on me... (I get jumpy and jittery when I see them) But there still cool and interesting looking.


I found out Spiders don't like peppermint! (I love peppermint!)

So here are some tips to keep spiders away !


Place pots of mint and lavender inside your home in a sunny window to deter indoor spiders.

Dust and polish your window sills and furniture with a lemon-scented wood polish. Spiders detest the scent of lemon and a weekly polishing of your wood surfaces will help deter spiders.

Keep your home clean and free of food crumbs and debris; spiders will gravitate towards any type of food supply, especially in warm, damp spaces.

Reduce clutter - spiders love things under beds and corners of the rooms. You will for sure find spiders in a cluttered home.

Control garden spiders by spraying your plants with citrus juice. You can also place lemon, orange or lime peels in your garden to repel spiders.


And recipe

Add 10 to 15 drops of peppermint essential oil into a spray bottle with 8 to 12 ounces of water.
Spray around door frames, windows, small cracks, corners of the ceilings and bathrooms.
Use peppermint essential oil without water for a more potent version.


I'm going to try this during the summer, and I do prefer this over squishing and killing the poor things.

Marimo

I really wanted to share with you all a plant I really want. Its called a Marimo, they are small little balls that look like moss floating in the water. But they aren't moss, they are a green algae. They are found in a couple of places in the world. You also can find them in your local pet shop. (Sometimes)

Aren't they really cute? They float when they are doing photosynthesis,  or if you squeeze the water out of them and you place them back into the container, they'll float.  They also can sink. But  its okay if they skin . You also are suppose to clean out there tank at least once ever two weeks.

 But  yeah,   Marimo's  are really  cute.  You  can  even  have  fish  live  with  them,  you  just  want  to  keep  feeding  your  fish  if  you  do have  them  with  a marimo.  (and  marimo's don't need food!)

Mental Health Update

 I  fee l  like I'm going to just break up my mental health into small point groups. I want to talk about my mental health a bit.

BPD support group : My support group was good yesterday. Its my second time going and I'm starting to feel a bit better with going. I think when my friend moves away, I'll  be able to keep going by myself.  I feel pretty good to know I'm okay with sharing. It surprised me that I was able to speak a  bit. I do like the checking in we do. For me its really hard  I guess  to think of what to talk about.  I never can think about topics.

Self care: I feel like my self care is a bit better. I'm not picking at my face as much, and I'm trying to get into eating more, and waking up so I'm not sleeping all day. Today I colored when I was feeling down. I feel like if I keep that up, I'll start to pick it up as a habit again. I 'm  going to  start doing my work books more and see if they help at all. I know I want to work on my mindfulness stuff.

I also am getting into a program that'll help me with stuff. Its a place for people with mental illness, but its a place thats trying to give people a spot to heal.

There is stuff like a book club, yoga, swimming, eating habits, Mindfulness.. ect. Stuff like that.

The program is also going to help me with CBT Skills which I need to get back into. I also want to get back into contact with the sexual assault center out here.  I also want to start working on my bpd, but I feel like I gotta work on each piece slowly.

Having multiple mental illnesses and trying to take care of all of them is really hard.

Medical: I'm starting a new medication for some new symptoms that are coming up. I've only taken it once so I can't say too much about it.  I'm also getting an ECG done soon.

When Marine Was There

I finally saw this movie! I've been looking forward to seeing this movie for awhile now, I just haven't got around to watching it. But awhile ago I did, and I have to say I'm really pleased with the movie. 

When Marine Was There is probably one of studio ghibli best films that show cased a plot twist.  I feel like I really didn't see a twist coming up, and I felt like it was a really good twist to the story. I at first thought Marine was a pretend friend of some kind, then I thought she was a ghost. What she ended up being is really interesting and a nice twist to the story.

This movie came out in 2015.  

I also really like the movie because the main character seems to be shy and deal with some kind of social anxiety or social phobia.  I really just liked the fact that they used a character who suffers other issues other then just the health issues that gets explained in the story.

  I also really liked the character because even though she was shy she still seemed to have been able to stand up for herself!

 I also really liked her aunt and uncle. They seemed really supportive of her. I don't think there was a character I disliked. I really liked the movie. I also love how Marine was able to connect Anna with so many people. 

 This was probably one of my favorite settings in the movie, Mostly because the room was very dreamy and lovely. I really want a bed room like this. But I really like this room and I wanted to show you guys it. I really also loved the marsh and the house in the marsh, but I feel like my fav setting is this room.

 I also really did adore Anna. I find her character really interesting, I like her because of the way she deals with her struggles. I also love her spirit in the film and how she was able to explore and even though she is ill she isn't upset by it. (I have the same thing she does!!) I also like how she is an artist but is really shy with sharing her work.

  I probably will also read the book that this movie was based off of also.

But I love this movie, its a really good one. I think I would add this movie to my favorite list.

Beach Cleanup

During the weekend I went to my beach clean up. It was really good.  The beach we went to is a really big beach. Well I feel like its more like a beach, rock cliffs, more beach, more rock cliffs.  You can climb the rock cliffs. They can be really slippery and dangerous so you have to be careful.

The clean up was nice, I was rather glad that I didn't feel clustered up with people. It also rained that day so I think there might have been less turn out.

I went up to more of the shore line and I picked up trash that was in the tide line. Stuff was hidden under sea weeds. I found a lot of plastics, rope, beer bottle tops. My friend came with me and she found a beer can. We also picked up sea glass, because its pretty and I also would count that as trash. We also found glasses on the beach and I found a knife. It was 18 inches. It was super rusted out.

But yeah I had fun that day, and I think my friend had fun too.

Treats for me

A few days ago I bought myself some treats off of my amazon wishlist.

I'm really happy, I bought myself sesame snaps which are one of my number one comfort foods. I also bought myself some lip chap because my lips are getting dry again and the mint flavor was always making my lips feel odd and bumpy. 

I also bought myself Howls Moving Castle the novel. I've been wanting to read the novel for awhile now, a few years I think. I just don't ever remember to buy it. I'm usually on some other book reading spree. But I deiced something like Howls Moving Castle might be nice to read! I also really like it. I feel like I'm getting to know more about Sophie, and I also do find her sisters interesting.  For some reason I thought that the book would read just like the movie. I have no idea why. (I've seen the movie so many times. I have all of the seasons mesmerized. ) 

Lastly I bought myself a coloring book. Its really pretty, and the cat drawings are pretty intricate, but they also look like a lot of fun. 

Thats a scan I found online of the book. I'm excited to color it, I'm probably going to figure out the colors I want to use per cat soon. And yes, all of the pictures in the book are like that. The lines are so thin.

First BPD group Meeting

I went to my first BPD meeting on Wednesday for support. I liked it, I felt kinda at peace at a meeting with people who either have bpd, or people who have someone they love very much who has bpd.

When I first was going I felt really stressed. A part of me really didn't want to go, but a different part of me really wanted to. I've been struggling with my BPD and I also feel really odd and alone out there with it. I mean I have a friend who has BPD, and I know there are online communities, but it still makes me feel alone.

So it made me feel really stressed out, and different. Its also really hard when going to school.

It just sucks to feel really alone. Especially in this world. Like my boyfriend understands from the logical view of googling and reading things. But from an inside presentation he doesn't get it. So I guess thats the real reason why I sought out a group. I need to feel like my struggles aren't something I go alone with. 

The group seemed to be really nice, There was also a lot of people. Which isn't normal, or at least thats what the group coordinator said. So maybe this up coming week will be less people. In the group we just talk about challenges we face. Like this week there was a lot of financially talk.

I was quiet for most of the group, I spoke a few times, but I felt really odd because everyone looked at me, and it was hard to focus on looking passed people looking at me. I just tried to keep eye contact with the person I was speaking too, and really hard on not paying attention to anyone else.

But yeah, I really like this group. Also during the end for break, There was a table, that had so many handouts for bpd, I feel like there was about 30 different types of hand outs. I grabbed a bunch. So now I have things to read about. I might end up 3 hole punching them and then putting them into a do-o-tang thing. I have to buy a do-o-tang. Thank goodness for the dollar store.

But I'm really thankful for this ground. I feel less alone.

Lets Clean Up Our Beach!

“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch, we are going back from whence we came.” —John F. Kennedy

So this weekend I think I'm going out for my first beach clean up. I'm probably going to wear my old sneakers and I might bring my gardening gloves with me. I think its important to look after our oceans. I think its important to look after the little bits of nature we have around us, to be honest. 

Our oceans have the hugest amounts of man made debire that floats around. Plastics for example also take a lot time to break down. In the process of that, plastics get eat by many over water life, and some animals also try and take shelter in the debris that might end up in out oceans. But the impact of plastics in the ocean is deadly. Plastic can wrap its self around animals and make them unable to move which can drown them, Plastics can also be eaten and they can block passages ways so animals can't get the nutrition its needs, which means the animal will pass away. Plastic also holds a choking hazard. They also will stay in that system for a long time of the animal. 

We as people deposit a lot of plastics into the ocean, its somewhere's between 5 million to 12 million of tons of plastic into the ocean, yearly.

So because of this, and being someone who likes going to the beach, and collecting things, like pictures and even objects. I've seen a lot of man made crap wash up on shores. And sometimes its really tough because I want to remove these products from the shore line, but then I find out that there is life that has sought out shelter, and some of these animals have attracted themselves to something not natural. Which makes you feel like you are destroying a habitat that these creatures have found, even though you know its not healthy. 

Also as a beach goer I know I probably have at some point left trash on a beach, and I feel like that is something that needs to be taken care of. Our trash and causing animals to loose their lifes. And we also will loose our beaches in the process of not cleaning up the oceans.

So my clean up I'm going to go to is tomorrow. There is suppose to be raffles and huge amount of people, but also a lot of companies coming to donate goods for people. Gloves and trash bags are also proved so its just bring yourself.

I might also bring a bag for any treasures I find. I'm also going to bring my phone with me, and maybe take a few pictures.

Skipping

Skipping or jump rope, What ever you want to call it. I find it fun. I remember one of the reasons on why I liked skipping is it made me feel really girly. Mostly because my hair would bounce. A few years ago I bought myself a skip rope to start working out.

I did skipping back when I was in middle school and younger, I also use to do jump rope for heart, well I used to. So I enjoyed skipping.

So I've been thinking I should get back into doing something active. My case worker for mental health was also telling me that working out is really good for helping mend depression because when you work out, it lets out endorphin's. Skippinig is also good for your heart.
I'm kind of scared of people staring at me in public but I think I could start skipping at the park. I'm not sure when I'll start. But I might start soon.

School

I'm going back to school for the spring. I'm going to do another English course! I really enjoy English classes, and this one is going to be more around reading of works, like short fiction, a novel, poem and even a drama. Which I think sounds really exciting. I have to go in tomorrow and pay the fee and then I can start working towards getting a grant.

I'm also thinking for the summer I'll do another English course and for the fall I'm going to register for indigenous studies. I'm not too sure about early learning and care anymore. I mean I'd have to take another psychology course which was really hard for me.

And I have indigenous blood in me, and I know I did some healing work with a worker from the native friendship center. So who knows. Maybe indigenous studies is better for me.

Purple Personality

(My photo)

"Purple means you are sensitive and compassionate, understanding and supportive. You thinking of others before yourself - you are the person others come to for help - being needed motivates you but sometimes people take advantage of you.

You are a gentle and free spirit. Your feelings run deep and you can be quite sensitive to hurtful comments from others, although you would never show it.

Being a personality color purple, you have a peaceful and tranquil quality and a quiet dignity about you. People are drawn to your charismatic and alluring energy. You are usually introverted rather than extroverted and may give the impression of being shy although this is not the case.

You are creative and like to be individual in most of your endeavors, including your dress and home decoration - you love the unconventional.

You are idealistic, and often impractical, with a great imagination, dreaming of a future in an ideal fantasy world where you exclude the ugly side of reality - you tend to look at life through rose-colored glasses. People who don't understand you sometimes think you are eccentric because you spend so much time in your fantasy world.

With your personality color purple you inspire others with your creative thinking and your ability to deal positively with adversity.

You are very intuitive and quite psychic or at least interested in spiritual growth or the occult - you seek spiritual fulfillment. You look for the meaning of life.

As a personality color purple, you are a generous giver, asking for little in return except friendship.

You can be secretive, with even your closest friends not really knowing you well.

If you constantly surround yourself with too much purple you can become moody. If this is the case, balance the purple with some magenta.

You dislike responsibility and have difficulty dealing with real day-to-day problems.
You dislike being part of the crowd, wishing to stand apart from the mob - you like to be noticed for your individuality. You don't like to copy others and you don't like them to copy you.

You are a visionary, with high ambitions, dreams and desires, and a compulsion to help humanity and to improve the planet earth. You often hold positions of power because you are visionary, but you delegate to others all the minor details that you aren't interested in.
With a personality color purple you like to have the best of everything, so you aim high.
Being the free spirit you are, you love to travel to experience different cultures and meet new people.

You are a good judge of character and sum others up quite quickly and accurately, although you usually see the best in everybody.

Time means little to you and you are often late for everything. You trust the flow of the Universe to take care of everything.

You need to be careful not to take on too many projects at a time as you can become quite scattered in your thinking, resulting in stress and confusion.

Meditation is a good activity for you to help you become centered and balanced.

You can sometimes appear arrogant and conceited if operating from a negative perspective.
You can be selfish and self-indulgent as you don't like being imposed upon by others beliefs and regulations. "

BPD group

So I found a bpd group in my area. Its ran by peers and its also a support group. I've never really been to a support group before so I'm not really sure what to expect.  Well I expect that people are going to be nice, and are going to look 'normal.' But I just don't know what its going to be like? Like what are people going to talk about, not going to talk about. Stuff like that. I know that they don't do the medical stuff a doctor would do. (like give you meds to say you have bpd.)

 But it'll be nice to even just be around people who also deal with BPD, and to feel like I'm not alone. And also so I don't feel like a freak or like a super sensitive person.

I showed the pamflet to my worker also, and he said its a good idea to go. So I'll be going next Wednesday at 7.

I feel kinda excited. Right now at least. I know the day of, I'll feel really anxious and nerves.

Do not harm her

Do not harm her, Do not destroy her,
You are only the creator, but it doesn't mean you have
the power to control.  You do not own what you have made.

Do not mane her with the vile words. Do not try and make her
feel like she is nothing. Do not play with her emotions like she is putty.
For when shes older she will not forgive you.

Do not speak words that are fill of hate, Do not fly them at her like they are a
dart hitting a board. She is not a target. She is a human.  The words you speak to harm
they do just that. They harm and there pain will always be there.
Hold your tongue if you want to speak nasty to her.

For the words you plan on using that are full of hate and venom will forever last.
Each word will hit her like a dagger and when the wound feels healed it will reopen.
Each of those words, they will eat up her soul. Her heart. Her worth.

So for her sake,  do not speak words of hate.

Do not scream at her when she does something you dislike,
Do not scream at her when she doesn't do something right.
Do not scream at her.

Do not hit her when she has done something wrong, Do not hit her when she has
done something you hate. She is not yours. She is going to make mistakes.
Do not show her that side of the world, shelter her from it for as long as you can.
Show her that abuse isn't normal. Show her that there is no reason for anyone to
ever loose it. No matter what.

For if you do, those wounds will forever stay. Those cuts, bruises and scars will always
feel fresh, even if they have healed physically.
Each of those will last for a life time.
She will forever search for reasons why. You also may be setting her up to accept this
behavior from others.

So for her sake, do not hit her.
Do not ever let those hands touch her soft skin.

Do not sexually abuse her. For each of these acts will forever be ingrained in her mind.
She will forever feel shame and as she brought what happened to her on herself.
Do not sexually abuse her, for you are breaking a bond that will never be repaired.
Do not sexually abuse her, for she will never be able to understand herself.

For if you do, she will forever struggle. She will struggle with her life, identity, sexuality.
She will have raging wars of mental illness. She will feel invalided and destroyed from the inside out.
She will never be able to trust again, and she will always feel shame.

So for her sake, do not sexually abuse her. Do not touch her.

Do not destroy her. She is not meant to be destroyed. She is meant to be treasured
and cherish. She is meant to rise up and create this world into something she sees.
She is meant to fill your life up with love, just like you are to fill hers up with love.

Do not harm her, for she isn't yours. She is a living being.
She is young, and naive. She is full of life and curiosity.  She should be cared for.

Do not harm her.

Tsum Tsum

(Not my photo. Image found on google)

I've been on the hunt for tsum tsum around my area for awhile. Tsum tsums are stackable stuffed animals and toys. Tsum Tsum means stack stack also. I think there is also an app game, but you need to buy a plush in order to play the game. The game I've seen makes me think of chuzzles or another game like that. 

But anyways! Today I went out and hung out with a friend I haven't hung out with in forever. We walked from down town all the way to the local Toys r us! I found these there. The ones above are about $7.99 each, and you also could get a bigger package for like $20 dollars.

I'm kind of interested in buying these. I mostly want them for my calico critters, but I also really do like Disney and I think it would be cute to get some small Disney themed toys.

My Fav Noms

So I thought I would make a post of some of my favorite foods to eat. I'm gluten free for health reasons and when I first found out I couldn't have gluten products I felt really sad. Now that Its been a few years I realize being gluten free isn't that bad. And I can find some really taste-y treats.

Treats:

Sesame Snaps are one of my fav treat foods to eat. There is also a comfort to them for me. Seeing as I was given sesame snaps by a teacher who was really kind to me. They just make me feel really safe and happy.

They also are utterly sweet.

These are really good, they are kind of like pop tarts which I really did miss when I found out I could eaten gluten anymore. But these do replace them. You don't get icing on them. But they are really yummy.

These are really yummy also. They are small baggies of chocolate covered pretzles. They are gluten free, and even if you just buy the pretzels, they are really yummy. They also are slightly sweet. I feel like a lot of gluten free brands have more of mature taste to them, compared to super sugar-y sweet.

I also really like these cookies. They are really yummy.  

I really like Glutino for gluten free munches. They also have a small line of mixes for you to make your own cookies, cakes, or bread and doughs. Which I think is really nice. 

These also are really yummy for the great value brand. They both are gluten free. I've never had an issues with them and they are really good. I bring them with me for school because they are pretty great school snacks.

Dinner:

This is a really good soup brand. And A lot of there soups are gluten free, they also can be IBS friendly as long as you know your triggers.  But I really love this soup. 

This is another brand that is really good, I know for me its really filling and they also are really good. I really like them. I also like them because they are super good for when I'm depressed because they are super simple to wipe them up! 

Fairy Home

Fairy homes are lovely little homes for fairies to live in. They are better outdoors and even better if there is running water. I love these little homes, they are adorable and super cute.  If you believe in fairies then you can create a home for them to dwell, and if you don't believe in fairies, well you can still create this little home for decoration in your garden. 

I believe in fairies so that is whom I'd create the home for. 

I found out about fairy home maybe 2 years ago, and I've always found them really interesting. I really like the the designs people come up with for fairy homes. I also really like the organic shapes and materials.

You also can use stuff to build a fairy home likes an old doll house, milk or juice jugs. You also could try using clay to try and make a home. 

 There is some warnings like you shouldn't use materials that can pose a risk to your local wild life. So don't use things that could be eaten by animals like cats, or small rodents or birds that could pose a risk to their bodies and health. Fairy homes that also have stuff like nails or other objects could end up injuring gnomes.  

You also don't want to make the fairy homes super huge. Like a deluxe mini mansions. Fairy's and gnomes like really simple, humble and discreet homes.

Things that also can be used for a fairy home is pin needles, pine cones, branches, bark, feathers, moss, sea shells, pebbles. acorns, ect. Just go out to your forest or garden and pick up things that are dried and have fallen off naturally.  You also can thank trees when you get there branches if you want too. Which is just quietly to yourself say thank you to the tree.

If you go to the beach remember to rinse of stuff that you pick up from the beach, because if it came from the ocean it'll have salt water, which isn't good for plants.

I know I will make a cute fairy home someday.
