A little introduction

Hana ⛨ 22 𐂃 autistic ♠︎ asexual ✙ European ♪ EGL

I love antiques, flowers, old books, traveling and doing my crafts (sewing, crochet, knitting).

My special interests are historical fashion, fiber arts, human diseases and forensics.

I wear Japanese EGL and fairy kei fashion, but also regular vintage.

The chances are astronomically low, but if you are the sweet l♡lita who was standing on the sidewalk of the yesterday’s Pride walk in Vienna… you are so cool and I wish I could say hi to you ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡

✚ I designed this hospital granny square yesterday ✚

Here is the tutorial:

✚ Cross appliqué ✚

Ch5 -> make your first HDC in the second ch from the hook -> make 3 more HDC, ch1 and turn your work.

Row 2 - 4 HDC across the row, ch1 and turn.

Row 3 - 4 HDC and in the end ch 4 (instead of ch1), turn.

Row 4 - HDC in the second ch from the hook, HDC 3x, the 4th HDC is placed into the first HDC of the row 3 -> do 3 more HDC -> you are at the end of the row and now you will do these increases: YO, insert the hook into the same place you made your last HDC, YO and pull the loop through (you will have 3 loops over your hook), YO again and pull the yarn through the first loop (this creates the basis for the stitch), YO and pull the yarn through the 3 loops on your hook (now you made a HDC) - the next increases will be worked in the post of the previous increased HDC stitch -> repeat 3x -> ch1 and turn.

Row 5 - HDC across, in the end ch1 and turn.

Row 6 - HDC across, DO NOT ch1 at the end, just fasten off the yarn.

(row 7) Now you will insert your hook to the 4th HDC from whatever side you choose -> make a slip knot, ch2 and do the 1st HDC in the same space -> do 3 more HDC, ch1 and turn.

Row 8 - HDC across, ch1, turn.

Row 9- HDC across, fasten off.

Granny square base

With white yarn, ch20 -> do a HDC in the second ch from the hook -> HDC across -> ch1, turn.

Row 2 - you will create a slip knot with the pink yarn -> pull the slip knot through the ch1 -> HDC across while carrying the white yarn underneath the pink HDC (while making a HDC the white yarn lays on the top of the previous row, and the created pink HDC will hide the white yarn underneath the pink stitches) -> ch1 with the white yarn and fasten off the pink one.

Row 3-16 - HDC across, ch1, turn.

Row 17 - repeat row 2.

Row 18 - HDC across and fasten off in the end.

Attach the appliqué in the middle of the granny square with a blunt needle using the tails of the yarn (there should be 4 of them). Run the stitches around the cross, ensure that there are no gaps.

And you are done!

BTW by making the base of the granny square wider and in the end sewing the sides of the granny square together, you can create a cute nurse armband !

Tereza Zelenkova | The Essential Solitude

[g0rebabysworld]

The first time Zelenkova photographed at the house, she only had limited access, and the shoot lasted just one hour. She kept thinking about the potential of the series. Eight months later, she returned for another session, and it is these pictures that developed into a personal project. Zelenkova did not plan images. Instead, she experimented, letting the place’s mood guide her.

“I mostly photographed in a room that presents itself as a sort of decaying time capsule. In reality, it’s a carefully staged theatrical set created by Dennis Severs, consisting of both cheap props and precious antiques. Yet everything is left to decay. The furniture and fabrics are covered in cobwebs; the ceiling is leaky, and the walls are peeling,” she says. “I liked the solitude of this room. How it stands in sharp contrast to the outside world, and that it’s a folly to some extent. Its goal is not the preservation of historical artefacts, but rather an acknowledgement of the inevitable passage of time and its effects.” Meanwhile, her model, presented as a ghostly, genderless figure, appears to move through the pictures, accentuating the sense of isolation.

My whole room smells like elderflowers that I am drying, and suddenly it feels like summer is already here. . .

After my finals are over, I will crack my fingers and will unleash my long gone html skills to create a my custom tumblr theme for desktop.

I sometimes write about missing the old internet, but I really want to re-live the joy of customizing my own page, like I used to more than a decade ago. My internet access to our old and slow pc as a child was spent reading other people’s blogs and making blogs for my own interests (RIP to that blogging domain, you are still missed).

So I’ll post some updates about how it goes (✯◡✯)

I’ve been diagnosed with autism yesterday. After years of receiving different diagnosis, it was the moment that finally made sense. But I still cannot shake the feeling of nothingness inside of me. Or uncertainty? It feels like I need to build my world up again from bits and pieces of the old one. To create a world that is a safe space for me, while facing the realities of the world on the outside. After life time of masking and not listening to what my body was saying, it became very painful to uncover how deep the bodily (and emotional) trauma goes.

If you are autistic and are reading this, can you please share some tips how to cope with these feelings and start working on improving the emotional and physical state? Thanks ^^
