    An Attempt at Textile Art

    Today I’m sharing something that I made a long time ago, probably about 5 or 6 years ago. I’d actually forgotten all about it until I discovered it when I was sorting through the bags of mess hanging on the back of the Utility Room door. The church…

    Following on from the disastrous car seat cover, here is something I did manage to do to make Boy 4’s car seat more comfortable. It came with chest pads originally but having been washed a number of times and being stored in the shed on and off for…

    We have just come back from a lovely week’s holiday in Scotland, which is my excuse this time for no new posts! There was internet but it was patchy. The beautiful views more than made up for it though. It was right in the middle of nowhere (ok,…

    During one of my sortouts I discovered this hideous cushion that had been a Christmas present a few years ago. I’d completely forgotten about it, due to it being horrible and because it doesn’t “go” with anything at all in our house. The cushion pad was easy to…

    So I’m enjoying my new crochet hooks but folks, I like to keep my stuff in pretty things and the thing they came in was not pretty. Plasticky, yes. Pink, yes. Pretty, no. It’s a little bit nasty. And Boy 4 has broken it. Sounds like an excuse…

    I’ve been crocheting for years but it’s only very recently that I bought a set of crochet hooks. Usually I either manage with the hooks I have (I’ve got three) or I have to go into town to visit the craft shop to get one. All I can…

2 things from today 💖 The first is a tree outs 2 things from today 💖

The first is a tree outside the co op in my village. It is a treat all year round, and it makes me feel a little bit warmer knowing that those berries are going to keep some little birds going this winter.

The second is a ball of yarn I have been making over a few days, from cotton, and tissue paper from a present.

Special things can be found in the ordinary 💖🐦‍⬛🧶

This morning my 16 year old peered out of the wind This morning my 16 year old peered out of the window and remarked that it wasn't really light yet! 

It has been a grey, drizzly day. My youngest boy and I went out for a short walk, and I noticed the beautiful holly tree in somebody's garden, all glossy leaves and bright berries.

Before lunch, we made our Advent candle. We've been making our own from beeswax sheets for a few years now. It felt like the perfect thing to do on a gloomy day.

We lit it at dinner time, in amongst the usual mess and homework.

A rowan tree 🍂🧡 The rowan is one of my favo A rowan tree 🍂🧡

The rowan is one of my favourite trees. There's a song about it, and it always makes me think of Quickbeam the Ent  in Lord of the Rings, who every time he saw a rowan tree, would lift his tree arms and sway towards it. 

One year I made rowan jelly from the berries. It was a beautiful shade of orange and it tasted like nice marmalade.

There are lots of berries still on this one, and the  leaves are brown and gold. 

Even though it feels like winter now, there are still little bits of autumn hanging on. And it's nice to think that there is food for the birds there 🧡🐦‍⬛

November 🍂 Storm Claudia blew most of the leav November 🍂

Storm Claudia blew most of the leaves off the trees last week. There are still some, but lots of them have gone now. The berries are very visible, lots of hawthorns and still some rowan berries.

Everywhere is muddy! Big piles of sugar beet have been slowly disappearing, and all the rain has made the footpaths squishy.

If I go out at 4.30 pm to get milk or cat food or bits for tea, it's dark and my reaction is "bleugghh!" But I actually quite like it. It's nice to get back home to my cosy little house with my boys and my cats.

It is tempting to dislike November but I quite like it. What about you? 🍂🧡
