Did you ever do butterfly paintings as a child? T Did you ever do butterfly paintings as a child?

The theme in April's Wild Blossom Companion is reflections. Sometimes our hands want to do something creative but we don't know what, and the Wild Blossom Companion has ideas of things to do within a theme.

I started off combining butterfly paintings with landscapes, and as I often find with anything literal I felt a bit anxious about whether what I was doing was any good. But that's kind of not the point! It's supposed to be playful exploration, not something that makes stress and anxiety worse! Plus the acrylic paint stuck on one of them and the paper tore.

So I gave that up and just blobbed paint onto the paper instead.

I think they look more like bunches of flowers then butterflies πŸ’what do you think?

And yes, I somehow managed to forget that phone needed to be the other way round! 🀦🀷πŸ€ͺ

April is a pink month, with  cherry and apple  blossom. There are also lots of new leaves, and spring sunlight makes them appear even greener 🌱

I was inspired by a recent email post thingy from I was inspired by a recent email post thingy from Alison from @brocantehome, in which she says that if there is ever any doubt, to look at our hands, see what is in them and tend to that. 

There is a lot in the world that is bad. Sometimes there are things closer that are not that great either. We're encouraged to be inspired by people who do huge things, fly to the moon and whatnot, but there is a lot to be said for holding onto the knowledge that our grandmothers and great grandmothers lived through difficult times, in the middle of them, and still looked after their families, cooked meals and washed up, grew tomatoes, made doctors' appointments, wrote in their diaries, drew, painted, knitted. Admired the flowers in their neighbour's garden. Marvelled at the blossom, or the autumn leaves. Hoped it would rain, or stop raining. At the same time as worrying about loved ones far away. Not because one mattered more than the other, but because they both did.

In my hands today, home education for my dyslexic boy, cats, meals, laundry and washing up. Peculiar things to make out of pieces of old shoe for my textiles degree. And blossom, lots of it 🌸🌸🌸

What is in your hands?
