    Gathering Green: A Gentle Creative Invitation

    I’ve said before about autumn being one of my 4 favourite seasons, and I could say the same about this time of year. When late spring starts to gently roll round to summer, it is beautiful. Not yet high summer, with its heat and parched lawns, but still…

    Before I get going, I have to confess that I have shamelessly stolen this idea from somebody else in internetland. She’s a lady called Michelle Tasker, and she makes the most beautiful designs for fabric and wallpaper that are inspired by nature. A little while ago, on Instagram,…

    More than any other season, I’ve always loved the autumn. I can remember when I was a little girl, probably about 7 or so, my teacher asked us to write about which was a favourite season and why. I knew mine was the autumn! But being a little…

    The Knitting and Stitching Show is usually held in various locations around the UK. Obviously it’s not happening this year. But as we’ve found over the last few months, we are fortunate enough to live in an age where we can do things and get together without even…

    If you’ve been here before, you’ll probably know that I love autumn. I actually have a hard time choosing between the seasons! Lots of people like the summer best. It’s nice not having to wear a coat and people’s gardens smell nice and you can go to the…

    It’s wreath time again! This time I decided to make a burlap and lace wreath. Up to this point I have had my Dried Fruit Wreath up on my door. I haven’t been too worried about taking it down because it’s not too Christmassy. Finally however I have…

Nettles to yarn 🌱🧶 Not a project that can be done Nettles to yarn 🌱🧶

Not a project that can be done in an afternoon! It's taken about a week just to make a tiny bit and could probably have left them for longer.

I love how nettle like the yarn is. It's quite soft and smells of plants.

It's ridiculously hot but at least it's cooler in It's ridiculously hot but at least it's cooler in the woods 🌳🌿

Apparently it's not just because it's shady. It's also because trees do a thing called evapotranspiration which means they release moisture into the air. So it's basically nature's air conditioning 🌿🌞💖

So if you are too hot and you are able to, find yourself a wood. Or even a clump of trees will do. 

If you like the idea of having something to do while you are there, I have written a new guide, called What to do in the Woods in Summer: A Guide for Creative People. It's quite a lot like the Wild Blossom Companion, there's a little bit to read, some forest bathing style things to do, some gentle, open ended creative things to do while you are there, and some more for when you get home if you want to stretch it out a bit more. The link is in my bio.

Visible mending on a pair of shoes 🧵🪡 I have the Visible mending on a pair of shoes 🧵🪡

I have the kind of feet that tend to cause holes in things quite quickly, and I only got these shoes last summer and they already had sprung holes.

We often treat things like they are disposable, and instead of mending things when they break, or spring holes, we throw them away and buy some new ones.

But we don't give much thought about what happens to them after we have put them in the bin. 

Sometimes things can be recycled, but not everything is and not everything can be. Elastane (probably what the fake laces on my shoes are made of) for example won't break down even with chemicals, so as far as we know it could be here forever.

Somas a tiny act of rebellion, I repaired my holey shoes with pretty patches and Boro style stitching.  They are not perfect but they are wearable again.
