DD Advent Calendar Day 10; Napkin Bauble My Trigeminal Neuralgia is flaring badly so my eyesight has gotten quite bad, low effort post today. I was inspired by Christmas table settings with contrasting colours with the doilies made with metallic threads. #adventcalendar #digitaldecorationadventcalendar #dayten #baubles #2021 https://www.instagram.com/beastlyautoimmunity/p/CXTVk3MFVnm/?utm_medium=tumblr

DD Advent Calendar Day Nine; Froebel Star Ornaments! I have made a set of ornaments every year for the past four years. These are the ones I’ve assembled so far this year. I was heavily inspired by those heavy wool buffalo-check blankets that seem to be a staple in Rustic Farmhouse Christmas Decor. #adventcalendar #digitaladventcalendar #buffalocheck #plaidblankets #rusticdecor #farmhousechristmas #froebelstars #froebelstarornaments #christmasdecor #christmas #handmade #decemberninthtwentytwentyone #decemberninth #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXQU24BrnKB/?utm_medium=tumblr

DDAdvent Calendar, Day Eight; The Christmas Plant Spectacular! Inspired by the Hallmark Movie; “Christmas in Rome” with Lacey Chabert and Sam Page. I intended on giving this a ceramic look, however the already present glittered striping left texture on the bauble which I converted to plaid ribbons. From top to bottom the plants are; Ivy, Holly, Boughs of Evergreens, Poinsettias, Mistletoe #christmas #christmasdecor #christmasplants #ivy #holly #boughsofevergreen #pointsettias #mistletoe #secularchristmas #religiouschristmas #decembereighth #baubles #handpainted #2021 https://www.instagram.com/beastlyautoimmunity/p/CXP9JD9LJRx/?utm_medium=tumblr

BeastlyAutoimmunity’s Digital Decoration Advent Calendar Day Seven: Tiny Rainbow Bauble! For a while there I hyperfixated on dotting, and rainbows. #adventcalendar #digitaldecorationadventcalendar #rainbowbauble #secularchristmas #secularchristmasdecorations #religiouschristmas #religiouschristmasdecorations #rainbowchristmasdecor #prideinspiredchristmasdecor #handmadebaubles #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXLW__FlEUr/?utm_medium=tumblr

BeastlyAutoimmunity’s Digital Decoration Advent Calendar Day Six: Snowflake Wreath! The large snowflake and the centre one were both completely transparent and I agonized over how to paint them to look like snow. I’m happy with the result and although I didn’t photograph it the wreath looks completely different based on its background. #beastlyautoimmunitydigitaldecorationadventcalendar #adventcalendar #adventcalendar2021 #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmasdecorating2021 #snowflakedecor #handmade #customized #decembersixth #decembersixthtwentytwentyone https://www.instagram.com/p/CXIw2fdFH1D/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beastlyautoimmunity’s Digital Decoration Advent Calendar Day Five: Cracked Ice! This was an ornament that broke around the edge of the “neck” while I was swirling paint inside of it. I repaired it and while scraping out the paint I poked a hole in it... Initially I wanted to toss it but had the idea to patch it (2nd photo). I didn’t love how noticeable the patch was but I liked the broken and refrozen ice look. So I went ham and covered the ornament in shards meticulously cementing the edges so it looked sharp but isn’t actually sharp. #beastlyautoimmunity #digitaldecorations #adventcalendar #dayfive #adventcalendar2021 #decemberfifthtwentytwenttone #christmas2021 #secularchristmas #religiouschristmas #christmasdecor #handmade #customize #upcycle #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXGBreYrZdU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beastlyautoimmunity’s Digital Decoration Advent Calendar: Day Four! Snowy Owl, my decorations tend to be shimmery, and not very much woodland. I “peeled” the flocking off of these owls and painted them inspired by snowy owls I added some grey because the straight black and white was not right, they looked a little creepy.. #digitaldecorationadventcalendar #adventcalendar #adventcalendar2021 #handmade #christmasdecor #secularchristmas #woodlandchristmasdecor #snowyowlchristmasdecor #decemberfourthtwentytwentyone #decemberfourth #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXFGPXfFwBw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beastlyautoimmunity’s Digital Decoration Advent Calendar Day Three: The Santa Boot! I don’t have many Santa themed decorations but these boots are really cute. #adventcalendar #christmasdecor #christmas #adventcalendar2021 #christmas2021 #santa #santaboots #secularchristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CXC5fNWrFTk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beastlyautoimmunity’s Digital Decoration Advent Calendar Day Two! This is Candy-Cane Romance; it’s 73 Froebel stars of assorted sizes attached to a red wicker heart with a wired ribbon collar. #adventcalendar #beastlyautoimmunitysdigitaldecorationadventcalendar #daytwodecembertwentytwentyone #candycane #secularchristmasdecorations #candycanetheme #christmas #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmas2021 #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CW-mbudlIHP/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you know me in real life or have scrolled back through my previous posts you’ll see I love Christmas! This December I am aspiring to be a digital Advent Calendar sharing the decorations I’ve made, repainted, repaired, or taken apart and assembled that year. Welcome to Beastlyautoimmunity Digital Advent Calendar Day One: Advent Baubles! Each represent a week of advent and have the ideas/stories we are to reflect on for the week. This week is Hope, which I feel we all universally need right now. #christmas #christmas2021 #Christmasdecorations #catholicdecorations #christiandecorations #religiouschristmasdecor #religiouschristmas #secularchristmas #handpaintedbaubles #handpaintedchristmasbaubles https://www.instagram.com/p/CW9SROvvcq0/?utm_medium=tumblr

My migraine buddy. Every few hours I’m in bed during daylight I have an insistent furry visitor who keeps talking until I both say her name and touch her verifying I’m alive. #beastlyautoimmunity #czara #cattoassistant #furbaby #kitty #taupetabby https://www.instagram.com/p/CVNUSVqlFW4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been five years since we married and thank you for humouring me and dressing up in the heat to take this picture today! #beastlyautoimmunity #weddinganniversary #5yearweddinganniversary #thisis26 #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRsnqZVjeqg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Czara is a cuddly cuddly teddy bear fur-baby. #beastlyautoimmunity #cattocompanion #helpfulcatassistant #thisis26 #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmI6GzD8cU/?utm_medium=tumblr

I went into the garden after dark to get some fresh cut flowers and finally had the opportunity to photograph my helpful cat assistants shadowing me. Czara frequently sits in the flower beds between the plants and gives me suggestions. #beastlyautoimmunity #helpfulcatassistant #czara #dax #freshcutflowers #thisis26 #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRQmCQFjVhc/?utm_medium=tumblr

On June 30th it was my 26th Birthday the last few years I decorate the piano with flowers and galaxies. This year I wanted to try making flower arrangements using my parents garden for my both my nebula and Star Trek glasses. As well as the cat vase I galaxie’d this year. I also have a combination of string lights and battery candles to light it up at night. #beastlyautoimmunity #birthdaydecor #2021 #hopefullylastlockdownbirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ69NCSDfpD/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finished Utne Endomertioma’s outfit finally. She turned out well. I looked up awareness ribbons and Utne has no trace of yellow, however I’ve made peace with it since the Internal-Screaming eyes turned out so well. #BeastlyAutoimmunity #beastlyautoimmunity #Endometriosis #EndometriosisAwareness #OoakDolls #ArtDolls #2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQF7dSeDxzE/?utm_medium=tumblr
