pinkliliess: fairybubbles: titrea: snooozeee i love this. simply because of its simplicity. she has got a baggy serene white t-shirt on with classic p-j shorts on, and a pillow that her grandma probably gave to her. imagine. in her perspective. she was up all night last night with her grandma drinking too much tea and just small gossiping, outside, counting the stars instead of sheep. she was away from everyone, just with her grandma, the one she loves the most. she doesn’t care about her looks or anything. her perfect little eyes started getting droopy as it was very very late. her grandma goes inside. comes back with a pillow. and says “this pillow, looks so simple but do you know what? i believe that this pillow was for you. you are the girl who wore vintage denim, who is a fence sitter, who talks to much. who would rather a jog than walk. you dont think people notice you. i always see you looking absent-mindedly into space. You have the memory of a sieve. You’ll have a shower when you look at your feet and notice that they are dirty. when you were a child no matter how many years went past, you never grew up, and you still believe wonderland exsists. So fall into wonderland with this pillow.” she smiles, and softly whispers i love you. she goes a bit furter into the back yard and climbs onto the hammock and she drifted into her wonderland.idek i just like this photo  ^^^^^^ or maybe she just grabbed a pillow from inside, put her camera on timer and took a picture pretending to be asleepbut yeah, either one

figwine: Grape Jam Yield: 20 ounces jamDifficulty: EasyTime: 1 hour TOOLS Heavy bottomed potWooden spoon20 ounce jar INGREDIENTS 1 pound grapes 8 ounces sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice INSTRUCTIONS 1. Cut the grapes in half and place in a blender. Blend until the grapes are completely blended, skin and all. 2. Put the blended grapes, sugar and lemon juice in a heavy bottom pot. 3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and boil until thick enough to coat a spoon. This will take about 25 to 35 minutes depending on the moisture content in the grapes and the heat. 4. Pour into a jar and let cool completely in the fridge. Testing Jam Consistency: I like to keep a baking sheet in the freezer while boiling jam. When the jam is thick and coats a spoon, place a little jam on the sheet and place back in the freezer for a minute or two. Remove and check the consistency. The jam should feel cool or cold. If it is thick like jam, it’s ready to go. If it’s still thin, leave it to boil a little longer. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. It should last 1 to 2 weeks. Choose any fruit you’d like. Be careful though as the boiling times and the sugar will change. This recipe can act as the base for many different jams, jellies or preserves.
