    Recently the boys attended the children’s holiday club at our church. They had a great time! One of the ways in which the children were motivated to join in was by giving them fake coins to put in little purses. They were all counted up at the end of…

    A few months ago I made these crocheted flower earrings. I have worn them a few times and people have remarked on how unusual they are. I’ve also found that despite them being quite long, they are very light and don’t pull on my ear. So I decided…

    As I have gradually got better at sewing and I’ve tried more things, I have been amazed at how easy things are that I previously thought were some kind of wizardry only available to people were amazing at sewing. Magnetic snaps were one such thing. I wrote a…

    Now that Boy 4 is 2 1/2, he’s at that stage where not taking the buggy seams like a good idea. A few hours into the day though, and I’m wishing that I had it! That boy weighs a ton. I have well developed arm muscles from carrying…

Whoever it was who said that blue and green should Whoever it was who said that blue and green should not be seen unless there's something in between must never have looked up and seen green leaves against a blue sky 🌿🌞💖

After I made the colour schemes for April, I had a After I made the colour schemes for April, I had a look back at the ones I made for March. One of the March colour schemes was actually very similar to an April one.

It probably says quite a lot about which colours I like at the moment!

And it stands to reason that at a time of year when there is a lot of blossom, colour palettes are going to be similar. I don't think I could choose between them, it would be like choosing a favourite child! But I think it is interesting that the April one is definitely warmer, reflecting how spring changes from March to April in longer days and warmer weather.

If I think to, I might look for similar colours in May too, and make another colour scheme to compare with the others 🌸🌱🌿

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 💐what do you think?

And yes, I somehow managed to forget that phone needed to be the other way round! 🤦🤷🤪
