    An Easy Fleece Throw Tutorial

    February 2, 2015March 23, 2016 Living a Creative Life
    6 Comments

    Recently we (and by “we” I mean Husband) redecorated the living room. It was a desperately overdue job, the most noticeable thing about the walls was the evidence of Boy 2’s artistic toddler phase and spaghetti bolognaise. Part of the redecoration included new sofas (there’s now enough seating for…

    January 29, 2015March 23, 2016 Living a Creative Life

    Crocheting flowers is great. They only require a small amount of yarn so the are a good way to use up odds and ends left over from other projects and who doesn’t love flowers? Especially at this time of year when spring still feels a long way off….

    How to Make a Burlap Wreath

    I always make a wreath for our door at Christmas, and after Christmas, once all the decorations have come down, my naked front door bothers me almost as much as the space left by the Christmas tree. So last year I decided to adopt the American custom of…

    A Winter Colour Palette

    I know this probably makes me a little bit crazy, but I like winter. Ok so it’s cold, but that’s what warm coats and boots are for! There are few things as beautiful as a cold winter’s day, but I even like the grey days. What isn’t so…

You know that feeling when you feel inspired by na You know that feeling when you feel inspired by nature and the changing seasons, and you want to do something or make something but you don't know what?

Creative invitations are open ended ideas that invite noticing and creative exploration. There is no expectation to produce something perfect, done in a certain way or even finished. The process matters as much as the end result, and it's fine to try them, ignore them, abandon them, or take them further.

Here are some creative invitations for March:

🌼 Take inspiration from the daffodils'  frilly trumpets and make something frilly. An easy way to do this is to add too many stitches when crocheting or knitting. Another is to deliberately pull at a hem while sewing it.

🌼 Spot yellow things. Obviously daffodils are yellow, but you might spot other yellow things, natural and human made.

🌼 Step outside at sunset and notice the colours in the sky. Before the clocks change, where I live sunset is at about 6.30, then afterwards an hour later. There are sometimes lovely sunsets in March.

🌼  Stitch the weather. You could add some applique as well if you wanted to. Sometimes there are all four seasons in March!

I like to have a new project in early spring 🌸🌱 O I like to have a new project in early spring 🌸🌱

Often it's the colours that I find most inspiring. After winter, the blossom is a change. And even though the lichen was already there, noticing the blossom means noticing the lichen as well. 

One creative invitation for February was to start something with no intention of finishing it, so that is what I am doing. 

#wildblossomlife #spring #creativeinvitation #handsewing #embroidery
February is not really one thing or the other, and February is not really one thing or the other, and both at the same time. There are signs of spring everywhere. Early blossom is appearing and the hedgerows are waking up. The other day, I saw buds on a magnolia tree in somebody's garden, green and fuzzy and huge. 

When I took these photos, it had snowed earlier in the day. Signs of spring among reminders that it is still winter. 

We forget that we are part of nature. We have cycles and seasons. If February has anything to say to us, it is that it is fine to be several things at once, or not quite one or the other. Everything will work itself out in its own time. 🌸💮🌱❄️
