Hey friends! Just wanted to leave a note here regarding current projects and what I'm most focused on at the moment
If you don't know, my other other background is in horticulture and landscape design and I've mentioned a few times that I really need to carve out time to tackle our completely overgrown and unruly yard (second summer here) and while I've been slowly chipping away and planning I haven't really accomplished anything notable, and with this cooler weather and the discovery of invasive lanternflies in one of the major areas of overgrowth I'm finally going in with gusto 🌿
I'll still be posting and sharing the process because before feral craft this page was all nature dork content and I never wanted it to be about strictly trying to sell you stuff BUT that doesn't mean I'm not still gathering gorgeous materials like local flowers and mushrooms and preserving them for all of the ideas I have in mind when I can jump back into it
That said- I have some really great events lined up for fall leading up to the holidays which I will share eventually, but for now that's mostly on the back burner while I tackle this huge project of restoring this piece of land back to an ecological haven for all the little guys (besides lanternflies who are about to be annihilated) there are already so many butterflies, dragonflies, native bees, lightning bugs, mantises, moths, hummingbirds and more keeping my morale up so I can't wait to plant all the things they love
Wish me luck, and thanks for sticking around 💚
