My entire homemade clothing collection - stored just now in The Arthouse (my Italian medieval quarter abode, for sale in BTC), Guardia Sanframondi, until we build a suitable storage/ atelier for them! #slowfashion #handmadeclothing #completelyunique image
A favourite upcycled denim coat, that I won a Hive.blog sewing competition with! Made from a few pairs of pale, soft denim jeans, it was a masterpiece effort, which I wish now that I'd kept... (It most unfortunately was stolen by a young woman from England, who I trusted to pay me in instalments for it 😦) Losing it does help motivate me to create another one!

Working in our forest today was spectacular and deeply full-filling; every session feels like a return to the embodied indigeous being that I knew as a child. Clearing paths, chopping wood, selecting which trees should flourish... sacred tweaking and the methodical strengthening of our bodies, calming of our minds and emotions. Our land becomes more ours, with every right action πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€—πŸͺ΅β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ«€ #homesteading #sovereignty #naturallaw #freedom image
Stripes & Vintage Embroidery - my latest post over on the Hive.blog; "It was a joy working the vintage embroidery into the bottom of the trews! They clash & harmonise in equal measure, and for me they bring more meaning and beauty into fabrics that previously were rather conservative."

Buona domenica, all on Nostr! Many blessings on our day of rest πŸ™ #happysunday #goodweekend #slowliving image
Appreciating the wildness of our mountainside land, as the weather shifts into deeper autumnal rhythms... We're able to see much better the contours of the hillside, as our trees shed their leaves and carpet the forest floor in new colours... A blessed time, chopping wood, harvesting greens and cracking walnuts πŸ™β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯πŸ’ #sovereignhomestead #naturallaw #italy #freedom image
Extreme inspiration from our land, as we symbiotically reconstruct the natural shelter which is on it. Feeling very happy to be reaching (at least one) corner of the 'more-stable stable', having reset the floor in natural stones. Some rocks were already in the building, some outside... Beautiful process of finding each Right one, to fit into the next πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ’™ #homesteading #naturallaw #creativeliving #slowliving image
