“On My Hook”….A Forest-Hued Work in Progress 🦉🌲🌱🧶

Hey Sunshine Souls!

I’ve been tucked away lately with yarn in my lap and a colour unfolding in my hands—Deep greens, cool blues, and a stitch pattern that flows like water through trees, This shawl isn’t finished yet, and it hasn’t made its way to the shop, but I couldn’t help sharing a little preview.

Its light, airy, and full of movement—the kind of piece that feels good to wear whether you’re wandering outside, curled up with a book, or heading off to some everyday adventure. Ive been calling it Owls of the Rainforest for now—-because that’s the vibe: peaceful, wild, and quietly powerful.

More soon Mamas, she’s almost ready to fly !

With Love and yarn,

Diana

Peace, Love, & Chickpeas: My Groovy Hummus

Hey sunshine souls !💗

It's hummus time Mamas !!! 😋

I know there's 47,000 hummus recipes out there, probably more if you count the ones scribbled on napkins during drum circles, but this one’s mine..

Lets blend some bliss ! 💖

I don't really measure, so use as much or little as you like for your tastes.

Ingredients are: Chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, olive oil, and soy sauce…add paprika or cumin if you'd like..

Going Green : Why I’m turning My Plate into a Garden !

Okay, folks, brace yourselves—because this hippie just got a whole lot greener!🌱🌿🌻

After years of flirting with Mother Nature’s goodies (kale chips, anyone)? I’m taking the plunge into a full-on plant based lifestyle. That’s right—no moo, no cluck, no oink, just all the veggie goodness this earth can offer.🌎💚

Why now, you ask ? Maybe it’s because I’ve binged every Netflix food doc there is….Wow, the information was mind blowing and very persuasive. I’m ready to make everything from an instagram smoothie bowls to stir-frying a tofu Indian curry dish !

Either way, I’m diving in armed with quinoa, tofu, and an alarming number of chickpeas. I’ll be sharing every hilarious misstep (ever burned lentils )? and small victory (hello hummus) right here. Get ready for some tasty recipes, bad puns, and a whole lot of plant love !❤️

If you’re curious, skeptical, or just here for entertainment, grab a veggie burger and stay tuned. Let’s root for each other (see what I did there) as we explore this crunchy, leafy, healthy, delicious journey together.🤗💕

Grab your tie-dye aprons, put on your flower crowns, and get ready to embark on a journey through the kaleidoscope of flavours, wanderlust, and stitchery that defines my enchanted existence.

Here in this swirling vortex of positivity, I’ll be serving up a bubbling cauldron of culinary adventures from every nook and cranny of the globe.

We'll weave a harmonious symphony of flavours that will make your taste buds boogie.

But it doesn’t stop there, my fellow dreamers!

As a free-spirited wanderer, I’ve embarked on countless escapades across my home and distant lands, collecting snippets of wisdom and unforgettable memories along the way.

Together, we'll unravel the secrets of hidden gems of local and uncharted territories.

Oh the wanderlust!

Its like an itch that can only be scratched by a one-way ticket to adventure!

Now dear kindred souls, let’s dive into my realm of stitches, threads, and all things bohemien.

Feel the liberation as you slip into your own customized creations, imbued with the essence of love, freedom, and a touch of groovy rebellion!

So come one, come all!

Immerse yourself in the vibrant palette of my imagination, where food dances on tongues, travel whispers tales, and fabric comes alive with every stitch.

Together, we'll ignite our passions, honour diversity, and create a world where the only boundaries are the ones we crochet.
