That feels sad but also a sign of an ever-evolving life!</p><p>I started this blog in 2010 and almost 1400 posts later (filled with delightful comments!) I find myself at the very end.</p><p>If I could sum up this blog it was a snapshot of my everyday life, alongside my creativity through a photographic journey. Somewhere along the way, I became a wedding photographer which ironically mellowed down my passion for photography - go figure!</p><p>Blogging made me a better writer, a better photographer, and a better storyteller. I remembered when you could get away with a single bad photo and some text and now it's all about sleek graphic design headers :P</p><p>I love where blogging came from and where it's going - I now share a single bad photo and personal text (via my weekly <a href="https://www.spirityou.com/newsletter/" target="_blank">NEWSLETTER</a>!) and then a more sleek blogging style <a href="https://www.spirityou.com/journal/" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p>SPIRIT YOU is an evolution of burntfeather, it's me but I'm back doing what I really love (visual art!) from a simple, experimental place, packed with gratitude (and some poetry thrown in too). My Dad dying in 2019 made me want to hone in on the absolute essentials - life is so short! </p><p>A lot of people only know me as burntfeather and that's where we end - it's been a joyous ride! I want to say a huge big THANK YOU for following along with me. I wouldn't have done this blog without you!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203581539426986027.post-69499225588578749622022-01-04T09:00:00.007+10:002022-01-04T09:00:00.248+10:00Found Money 2021<div>HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 2022 - WOOOHOOO!</div><div><br /></div>Since 2016 I've been doing a found money jar.

Covid has spelled the end of the Found Money Jar! This year was by far the worst year with a total of 15 cents! I'll admit I felt weird about picking up those two coins - made sure to crazy sanitise my hands afterward. Shops have encouraged cashless payment methods and I know, my own purse has become a lot lighter. End of an era - feels weird but life is an ever-moving/evolving beast and the keeper of all things interesting!</div><div> <p>2020 - $3.80</p><p>2019 - $4.10 </p><p>2018 - $15.38</p><p>2017 - $7.45 </p><p>2016 - $5.95</p></div></div>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203581539426986027.post-1437582794701905002021-12-28T09:38:00.067+10:002021-12-28T18:46:24.060+10:002021 Year in Review<p>I love looking back on the year! I think my 2021 was a mix of the following: creativity/covid/sadness/courage/renovations.

I promised an update at the end of the year. Out of all the companies I submitted to, only one emailed back and that was to say they do in-house design. Despite always having super high expectations around my creativity, I was fairly open to whatever direction this monthly challenge headed. Reflecting back, all I can say is that it's tough being an artist! BUT I'm super proud for putting myself out there and not letting rejection stop me :)</p><p>JANUARY</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEieM29PipsnSE9yfPivkLAYsDSQhL21UUse4Fh83TYX1Ifn-0vPs0U6ZSrSXLQfNaYAo09ceMLesxe9r2cjJNh7vfj7q_ikbkVtHElgCwI5ykApEuE302tnT2HW6hyaTAOOlNJMj-63gmFcwQvUmVNqUFnMJHGkGgfvztlP1L8B23JP9PQYsUqgKk4I=s700" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="lounge reno" border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEieM29PipsnSE9yfPivkLAYsDSQhL21UUse4Fh83TYX1Ifn-0vPs0U6ZSrSXLQfNaYAo09ceMLesxe9r2cjJNh7vfj7q_ikbkVtHElgCwI5ykApEuE302tnT2HW6hyaTAOOlNJMj-63gmFcwQvUmVNqUFnMJHGkGgfvztlP1L8B23JP9PQYsUqgKk4I=s16000" title="fibro lounge reno" /></a></div><br /><p>We finished our <a href="https://burnt-feather.blogspot.com/2021/02/dininglounge-reveal-beforeafter.html" target="_blank">lounge/dining room renovation</a> in January, felt great to start the year with fresh white walls!</p><p>FEBRUARY<br /></p><p>Was the due date month of my miscarriage, and I got incredibly sad - sad at seeing pregnant people, sad at seeing my period, sad at random times of the day/month. I went to the doctor to get referred to a psychologist but that lead to a dead-end (they were either booked out or very expensive!). I struggled on throughout the months and luckily I was able to overcome my grief/depression on my own which I'm really grateful for :) Big love for anyone out there who has or is currently going through the low times themselves!

Flipping through the pages of 16 homes (20 women) it's hard to forget the class divide prevalent in society. Ultimately this is a book of interiors, belonging to rich white women. Despite the imbalance, I found myself lost in the fantastical worlds of these creative women. The writing by Robyn Lea is lovely and the glimpses into their homes definitely entertained my curiosity. The title pages have the most brilliant collages and the book nails the ratio of text to images (I like my interior books image heavy!).</p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">“I couldn't bear to be in a place that I didn't like the look of.

I worked on a new pattern each week and every design I hated! So I gave myself some slack and some breathing space and now I'm back fresh with October's pattern. This pattern is the final of three I've been working on. I've been keeping it a secret who I'm submitting the three designs to, until now - anthropologie! Definitely, a dream place to see a print! In my travels, I watched a video (potentially doing the viral rounds?!) which was all about <i>not </i>saying <i>no</i> to yourself. Which I love. Essentially the message is about going for the big things in life and letting others tell you no, rather than stopping yourself before you've even started. I'm prepared to hear crickets from Anthropologie or a big fat no but at least I didn't say no to myself :) :) Give it a try!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8P_vFOSRq6WRTR7GqThYAlECYrzJjrt-YXCwrLp65iXdg19N8t_I5s-OtVszjd7wfvCmG53m9YVg55zQXM2McX1O1S9zZRnFw0bvgTmYwLQb-tddRicu59x4vJM2LyXxjzD7RR51nMns/s700/seaweed-jewels-print.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="seaweed jewel pattern" border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8P_vFOSRq6WRTR7GqThYAlECYrzJjrt-YXCwrLp65iXdg19N8t_I5s-OtVszjd7wfvCmG53m9YVg55zQXM2McX1O1S9zZRnFw0bvgTmYwLQb-tddRicu59x4vJM2LyXxjzD7RR51nMns/s16000/seaweed-jewels-print.jpg" title="seaweed jewel print" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>I really wanted to do a seaweed design (after many failed attempts) I came up with this jeweled beauty which I love!</i></div>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203581539426986027.post-31663234544849744562021-10-19T09:00:00.014+10:002021-10-19T09:00:00.243+10:00Book Review - Bolder<div style="text-align: center;">I just finished the book Bolder and I loved it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBUWYor1zB1hJjJtym81b-BRMzTOHoAWW6SvI-ALGcQVLRIM19eYq_EUkMXPyXFSNHajf-Oh4RyDytjefZh52jWNVBZ8OSkspArK2Y7H815kx2nef3KqhL_Vf5c6jSYihWogIaKyYn3_k/s700/sep-112.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="bolder book" border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBUWYor1zB1hJjJtym81b-BRMzTOHoAWW6SvI-ALGcQVLRIM19eYq_EUkMXPyXFSNHajf-Oh4RyDytjefZh52jWNVBZ8OSkspArK2Y7H815kx2nef3KqhL_Vf5c6jSYihWogIaKyYn3_k/s16000/sep-112.jpg" title="bolder book review" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Our library has a new system where they'll flip interesting-looking books out on display, essentially curating their shelves like a bookstore.

Nitpicky I know! Overall, the book is meant to inspire you to use colour and I definitely was inspired :) :) Julia is such a great stylist, I would have loved seeing her create scenes using art or incorporating flowers rather than just write about them but maybe that'll be the next book! As much as I'm nitpicking it, I still absolutely loved it and *fingers crossed* for a future book where Julia does a deeper dive into her styling genius!

Aunt Linda had just arrived, carrying her traditional Christmas cookies and steaming plate of judgment.”</i></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Lauren Martin has a clever way with words. Of weaving together narratives, of using vivid stories and scattering in great quotes from other women. I knew I'd appreciate this book from following Lauren's insta account, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/words_of_women/?hl=en" target="_blank">words of women</a>, which is always classy and full of inspiration - she has a style and it's great. The only thing I personally couldn't relate to with this book (and it's quite a present theme, since the book is about moods) is her proclivity towards anger. There were definitely stories and emotions and moods I did relate to and because I could relate, those resonated & were more enjoyable. I powered through those pages. I imagine if anger is your knee-jerk reaction to unpleasant situations (even seemingly small incidents) this book will be your jam. A lot of the time, as I was reading, I put myself in her shoes and realised I would have just had a flood of tears, overthought everything, and felt sorry for myself – but I didn't write this book.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If you've ever had a mood in your life I'm sure you'll get something out of the book, with each chapter offering an antidote that's simple enough to implement yourself. Her writing is great and I love how the chapters are put together with enough breaks to keep things interesting, actually it's one of my favourite parts of the book!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">8/10</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><i>“The rejections. The unfulfilled dreams. The luck that never came. I knew how to stand in line and how to calmly handle leaking air conditioners, but I didn’t know how to handle this part of the mood. The nagging worry that nothing would actually ever work out for me. I had gone through all the moods, I finally had everything I wanted, yet I was waking up with a feeling I’d never had before—doubt. What was next? Why did everything feel so far away? What was there to look forward to?”</i></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203581539426986027.post-57323761891153151892021-08-10T08:30:00.016+10:002021-08-10T08:30:00.241+10:00The Sky /4<p> Collecting and collating more pretty skies for you!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The opener hooked me in and I found her writing style consistent enough to keep the pages turning. Inside are 47 short stories that range from one to a few pages in length and deal with recurring themes of heartache, family, animals, homes, ghosts, death, dreams, her dog, inequality. Below is an excerpt, of one of my fvaourite pieces, <i>I Died: Listening.</i><div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><i>“Some man was standing right in the middle of the room talking about how he knew that now was the time for men to listen, and he was proud to say that he knew how to listen but strangely he kept talking for so long and I was the one who was listening and so then what happened was that my head twisted around on my neck and faced the wall.</i></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><i>But that didn’t seem to bother him and it certainly didn’t stop him because I guess he was on a roll? And then he just walked around to the other side of me and kept talking, and what he was saying was so obvious but backward and wrong, but to tell him that would have caused a big bust-up.”</i></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I was reading the reviews of the book which fall mostly on the "I love her weirdness" spectrum but a few cringed at the book's self-indulgent nature. It's true but for me, the charm of the book comes from her experiences and viewpoints. Do not read the book if metaphors, long-running sentences, and observational weirdness freak you out. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><i>“You are not quite awake yet, but the dreaming is done and so is most of your sleeping. You are waiting inside of yourself, waiting to wake up. You are still behind the curtain that separates awake and activity from sleeping and dreaming. You sense that you are waiting to wake up, but you also know that you are asleep. It feels tensionless, like watching a flag wave, like coming closer to a shore after a pleasure sail. You have a feeling like being happy for someone who has achieved an honor.</i></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><i>It is you.</i></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><i>You are happy for yourself that you have received the honor of a new day on which to ride. You realize that you love yourself easily in this gravity-free space between the worlds of waking and dreaming” - Dog Paw</i></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">8.5/10!</p></div></div>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203581539426986027.post-75535393782260605502021-07-13T09:00:00.029+10:002021-07-13T09:00:00.235+10:00Camonstera<p>I took an unexpected break from blogging and in the process fell face flat on my pattern project :( Hopefully, over the next few months, I can find my feet again but in the meantime, I thought it would be nice to share what's been stealing my time.

I've tried a few different face oils over the years but this is now my go-to. A few years back I jumped on the facial oil bandwagon and realised there was truth to the madness of applying oil to an oily pimple-prone face. I want four things from my face oil and this argan oil delivers on all fronts (for me!). It has to smell good, it has to be affordable, it has to reduce my outbreaks and it has to have a good consistency. When it comes to consistency my preference is for an oil that's not too thick or sticky but still hydrating and feels like I've applied something, I'm okay for an oil feel :)<br /><br /><br />GIFT: Australian Natives<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijn08AZ-Dk7rth5nZev5_jnpa8vQEFnD9ldMwqH-BA9SqWNcrtC2yqp-Z2iSHqyQlSVqqJC5DhYLmv2eDeB6KQnzgJ0MWmqn6IiXpAtoH3bvCJpFXIKb9Qr9kk7LAxU2TR-a51VxNeypw/s700/monstera-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="native australian plants" border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijn08AZ-Dk7rth5nZev5_jnpa8vQEFnD9ldMwqH-BA9SqWNcrtC2yqp-Z2iSHqyQlSVqqJC5DhYLmv2eDeB6KQnzgJ0MWmqn6IiXpAtoH3bvCJpFXIKb9Qr9kk7LAxU2TR-a51VxNeypw/s16000/monstera-5.jpg" title="australian saplings" /></a></div>Our local council ran a free natives day where each person was allowed to grab two saplings.

They definitely encouraged us to take the skills home and find local materials to weave with. They mentioned how lomandra was used in traditional dilly bags and in my further reading at home found this amazing <a href="http://lomandradillybags.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog resource</a> that takes a deeper dive.<br /><p><br /></p>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.com0
