    Thoughts on Limitations, or Can We Have Too Much of a Good Thing?

    Sometimes there are things that stand in the way of our dreams. We might feel that we don’t have enough time, or space, or stuff, or money to do all the things we want to do. More time could mean getting everything done, having time for hobbies, dreams…

    One of the things I like the most is the seasons changing. My favourite season is autumn, but it’s hard to choose! There are lovely things about each of them, and one of the nicest things is the seasons changing. It has a kind of bittersweetness to it,…

    How to Slow Down a Bit in Summer

    Often, when the nice weather comes round again and the days are longer and warmer, we have an idea in our heads of what our summer days will be like. Not rushing, not feeling stressed, not sweating buckets as we dash from one thing to the next, but…

    Last week I shared a tiny weaving I made using embroidery thread, with a piece of cardboard as a loom. I used colours from a colour scheme I made from a photo of some lupins. The colours are so beautiful, I still feel like I haven’t exhausted them!…

    About a month ago, I was sitting outside the library in Dersingham eating my lunch and admiring some lupins that had been planted nearby. I’m not much of a gardener myself, but I like gardens, and somebody had made the little bit between the library and the car…

    A little while ago, I was listening to a podcast, and in it, somebody said that human beings are designed to live according to the seasons, but modern life makes it impossible. I’ve talked before about humans and cycles, particularly in relation to the feeling that many of…

Colour schemes for April πŸŒΈπŸŒ±πŸ’– April is a pink mont Colour schemes for April πŸŒΈπŸŒ±πŸ’–

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?

Out looking for signs of spring 🌱🌸🌞 They are ever Out looking for signs of spring 🌱🌸🌞

They are everywhere now. The hedgerows are coming green. There is lots of blossom. New buds are appearing on the trees and starting to open. The sun was warm today and the birds were singing πŸ’–πŸ¦β€β¬›

#creativelife #wildblossomlife #norfolk #spring #noticing
Doing something creative can be a way to express h Doing something creative can be a way to express how nature fills us with inspiration, how we can't help but let it overflow into things we make, or paint or draw.

It can also be a way to notice what is there. It's so easy to rush through life  without really seeing, for things to become so familiar that even when we slow down, life's distractions stop us paying close attention to all the beautiful things that are there for us to see. There is so much beauty in the natural world, and so much peace to be found in not just spending time in nature, but leaving the distractions behind, parking the worries and putting our phones in our pockets, and being fully present.

Drawing, or painting, or even making some kind of abstract stitched thing requires us to really look. To notice the different shapes of the petals, and the tiny shadows and the little lines. How it is slightly more pink at the edges. How the centre of the flower is green, not pink. 

The drawing is the result of what we see. Whether or not somebody else would think it is good is not the point. It's about what you see, what you notice, and how that travels from your brain, through your arm and out onto a piece of paper, and how now that perfect little thing is there in your brain. Whatever else is going on, there is cherry blossom 🌸 🌸 🌸
