My conservative family members seeing me taking up embroidery:

One week later when I post the finished project:

Tincture of Alehoof

Glechoma hederacea, or Ground Ivy (called Alehoof because it was used in beermaking before hops) Is, among many other things, an astringent herb. This is my recipe/experiment for making a toner for the skin using it.

Gathering

Ground ivy grows everywhere as a weed in temperate parts of Europe and America

Preparation

Wash your plants and remove dead, dirty, and damaged parts (right into the compost)

Roughly chop, adding to a jar as you go

Finally, add ethyl alcohol or vodka (70% alcohol or higher is best) to your jar leaving little room, cover, label, and wait a few days. After the jar is very dark in color, strain out your plant matter into another jar, and you should be left with a jar of your tincture!

creepy things where I live that just ✨make sense✨pt. 2

Old and partially collapsed house that was abandoned because the owners went mad and refused to give it to their family or sell it.

The same house has a perfect ring of daffodils around it (weren't planted) that choked out the rose garden and the entire property is overgrown with vines and trees that never seem to be green. The whole area is covered in trinkets, jars, coal, and glass.

Old jail

Antique stores with an inordinate amount of creepy dolls

That really tall tree you can see in the distance that is always being circled by crows or vultures

Cultish ritual book that belonged to the previous owners of my current house.

A pillar that, according to legend, if you touch it, you'll die shortly after.

Literally any slave quarters or old plantations

Estate rumored to be haunted after a murder mystery

National museum dedicated to Ticks (the bugs)

Abandoned castle

There's a statue where if you looked it in the eyes you'll either be turned to stone or cursed

Abandoned asylum with 25,000 unmarked graves

Happy October 1st!
