Gaia Cacti's Not-So-Secret Diary

Fudge guarding us in his DIY bed  Hello peeps today's blog post is a few pics from today's adventure walk to the beach. View to St.Ives Today's weather was predicted to be sunny! So my mum Melissa, our dog Fudge and I decided to walk to a beach. Fudge pinching my paint water...    When we arrived at the beach (after having a paddle in the freezing cold sea), I decided to do a do a watercolor painting.  My watercolor painting ↟.  After that, we meandered to another location, where I did yet another watercolor painting of the beautiful St.Ives arches. Here it is.↡   Well, that's it for today. Hope you enjoyed reading this post. (I sure enjoyed going on this little adventure!)  Love Gaia Cacti                  xxx        

Hello peeps today's  #MondayMotivaiton post is my favorite Youtuber 'Bobby Duke Arts'. Here is one of his videos where he makes an awesome flame sculpture from tin foil and gives it to somebody at the gas staiton...      Some of the reasons I love his channel are: the crazy dance moves in almost every video, making something amazeballs from just hardware supplies, and the funny voices...   Ahh well, that's it for today folks, I'me off to make some Bobby Duke inspired art. P.S. Make sure to subscribe to him pronto.  love Gaia Cacti xx

Hello peeps, today my mum Melissa and I have been doing lots to help keep the wild birds happy. First, we made some more lard cakes (see 25/1/19's post for the recipe!) and hung them out where the birds can reach. After that, we settled down by my desk and the bay window (which I Keep my many houseplants on) to do the RSPB Big Garden Bird Wach. We only saw two Blue Tits. But they came back twice! Here is a photo of one of  Blue Tits that we spotted.↑ I also did a couple of watercolor paintings whilst we bird watched.   Maybe the reason we didn't get many feathered visitors was that it has been VERY windy here in Cornwall, with wind speeds up to 70 miles per hour!    Me in my "Bird Wachi'n Hat" Well, that's it for today. Good luck if you are participating in The Big Garden Bird Wach. And if not, ahh well... See you tomorrow, Love Gaia Cacti xxx  

Today I have been pondering whether it will snow again here in Cornwall UK, like it did last March... So I thought I would share with you some photos of when 'The Beast From The East' came to Cornwall.... View to our garden by the sea. Fudge eating snow. I remember when it first started to snow I couldn't believe it, as it has only snowed three times before in the more than eight years that I have lived in Cornwall!  But last years was the biggest lot of snow by far!   No snow today but lots of wind. Back tomorrow with our results of our RSPB Big Garden Bird Wach. Over and out x

So "The Big Garden Bird Wach" is coming up (From the 26th to the  28th of Jan in fact!). My Mum and I are really looking forward to it, and have been counting down the days.  We decided to make some 'peanut meal worm and lard balls' to pass the time as we, *cough*, I  was getting rather inpatient... So I thought I would share my recipe with you. (coz you know, I might as well!) This recipe makes 4 balls.
