Hope everyone has been well I had a little wander around last night with the chalk. I prefer to create later in the evening or in early…beelightfully in # blurtpoetry • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readBees Haiku challengeSo sorry for my lateness in posting this, I have been a little unwell. Thanks so much to the entries I’ve seen so far to the mushroom theme challenge!! I have been having tech issues and can’t seem to access the hashtag. I’ll continue to reblurt and upvote any I discover when I’m fully back (still recovering from flu or something). Please…beelightfully in # love • 4 yr. ago • 3 min readTo my someoneI’ve been a little absent on here, just because sometimes I get very caught up in either my head or being out and about. Most recently the former. I am very late posting about the blurt meet but I’ll probably do that later or tomorrow. Right now I just had something in my head and I wasn’t quite sure where to put it so I figured here would be…beelightfully in # haiku • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readHaiku challenge week 2 ‘Mushroom’I couldn’t have a mushroom theme without paying homage to my favourite kind. Journey within you Safe in nature’s company Psychedelic The photo above is an old painting of mine from 2009. I guess it’s a toadstool she’s sitting on but I felt it still fitting 😊 The one below is from a wonderful party I attended with my friend Gemma at a…beelightfully in # haiku • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readBees haiku challengeIt’s that time again! Thanks so much to the following for contributing to last weeks challenge: @owasco @sirenahippie @trifecta-tt @offgridlife @riverflows I loved reading all the entries and hope you will take part again this week! This weeks challenge is to include the word/theme ‘mushroom’ I’m just rushing out so I am going to…beelightfully in # blurtart • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readA little night time street artI like to create chalk art around my area. It’s created in the same style as my abstract character art, I look for interesting stains and marks along the pavement and highlight any little characters I see by drawing around them in chalk. Just recently I bought myself some black pastels, so I wanted to take advantage of that and finally do…beelightfully in # blurtmusic • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readAccoustic cover Sarah McLachlan Angel with art slidesThis is a moment I had in a gallery I was working with (and exhibiting in). The new city pop up gallery in Southend. There was a film playing down in the basement, of all the artists work. I felt inspired to record this, not long before we left the place. It had great accoustics 😍 Hope you enjoy itbeelightfully in # blurtlife • 4 yr. ago • 3 min readThe celebrityI’m not that up with the majority of celebrity culture. I am aware of people (mainly because if you have any kind of online presence you usually pick stuff up in passing) but I likely wouldn’t notice if they passed me in the street, although that could be because I’m too busy looking at birds or clouds 😆. But I occasionally consider what it…beelightfully in # weddings • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readCrystal crowns and tiarasI’ve just started getting back into making tiaras and crowns. Someone asked me to make a crystal crown and I really enjoyed the process so I’m working on some new designs right now. This is the Crystal quartz crown she commissioned I delivered it to her a week after I finished it, at a morning rave 😎 She was really happy with it and will…beelightfully in # life • 4 yr. ago • 4 min readA tail of two snails 🐌 🐌Last night I was in my yard and I shifted spots to look at a different part of the sky. As I took a step I felt and heard a crunch. It was that unmistakable sensation of treading on a snail. I hate it when it happens. I always feel so guilty and I usually say a little prayer in my head (and apologise to the snail - who obviously can’t hear me…beelightfully in # blurtlife • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readThe nightOne of my favourite things to do is to walk around at night. There’s much randomness to be discovered when you venture into the dark, the streets seem a little more magical and sometimes I stumble upon things and people that I might never notice in the hustle and bustle of the day. When I saw this it really jumped out at me. Just a random…beelightfully in # blurtphoto • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readMany ways to skin a catI want to start off by saying. I don’t want to skin a cat. And I don’t think the person who invented the saying wanted to skin a cat either (beyond the hypothetical). I just use it as illustration for the concept that everyone does things their own way and no one way is the ‘right’ way. Sometimes doing things the wrong way brings forth…beelightfully in # haiku • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readMore haikus for the weekly challengeSo I have been well impressed with the haikus coming in for the challenge I set yesterday. You can check out my original post here for details: It’s inspired me to create a few more myself so I thought I would share them with you. The word/theme to use this week is ‘ghost’ Everywhere I look The ghost of you surrounds me…beelightfully in # blurtphoto • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readFire spinningTuesday nights is fire spin night. Lately we’ve had a photography group sharing our space and producing some amazing photos. I’ll share some of theirs with you another day. Tonight I took my own camera with me and whilst I’m a little rusty I really love some of the shots that came out. This first one is my favourite so far. I haven’t looked…beelightfully in # blurtphoto • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readRandom photo selectionA few shots of things that caught my eye recently I put a lot of smileys out there.

I decided I would like to start one myself so here goes: Note: The haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. This week, create a haiku…beelightfully in # blurt • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readWhales and little fishes, let’s all just get alongThere is something that I see coming up over and over whilst navigating on here, and it’s both comparisons and past history regarding hive and steemit and discussions about ‘whales’ (those with the most capital within the network either through investment or through blogging). I don’t think there is anything wrong with understanding and…beelightfully in # blurtart • 4 yr. ago • 3 min readThe Empath and the Narcissistic. An inner journey?Every now and again I see a social media post discussing and pointing out the relationship between the empath and the narcissist. It delves into the perceived truth that empaths strongly attract narcissists. Now I have no qualms with that as a truth. I’ve experienced it in my own life and I’ve heard many examples of it, often from people who…beelightfully in # vegan • 4 yr. ago • 2 min readVegan chocolate truffle recipeI’m vegetarian but often try to switch to a vegan diet. One of the things I struggled to find was a vegan chocolate I like, so I looked for a recipe to make to appease my sweet tooth. These beauties are so easy to make. The basic recipe only has 3 main ingredients (4 including the coconut oil which is just to make the melted chocolate more…beelightfully in # blurt • 4 yr. ago • 1 min readIs it frowned upon?I have just started a new account for my son Josh and wanted to maintain it alongside mine but with a view to eventually handing it over to him to post on when he’s old enough (a bit like a crypto savings for him). He’s only 8 right now. But he did say the other day he would like a Lamborghini so I want to find ways to give him a fighting…
