    People round here start Christmas early. There are people in my village who get all their lights up as soon as Bonfire Night is over. As today is Bonfire Night, I expect to see some Christmas lights appearing over the next week or so! It might seem early, but…

    How to Make a Wrap Skirt

    October 31, 2014March 23, 2016 Living a Creative Life

    Despite it having been quite warm the last couple of days, it is definitely time to shove the summer outfits to the back of the wardrobe and dig out the winter clobber. Unfortunately I’ve got rid of some stuff that didn’t fit, had holes in and whatever, so…

    Buggy Cushion for Quinny Zapp Xtra

    Having had 4 babies and also a mild pushchair addiction, I have got through a few pushchairs. Out of the 12 or so that I’ve had my little Quinny Zapp Xtra is easily my favourite. There are some issues with it. The wheels are noisy and the basket…

    Becoming more organised has changed my life. I am not kidding. I used to be disorganised and this is still my natural inclination. Although a little bit of chaos makes me feel alive, I dislike the feeling of stuff spiralling out of control, forgetting things, losing things and…

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.

Colour schemes for May... 1. This is actually a d Colour schemes for May...

1. This is actually a ditch between 2 fields. It's often manky and full of litter, but the other day it looked quite nice.

2. May is a very green month, so there needed to be one mainly green colour scheme!

3. I said before that the person who said, "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. When I pixelated the photo some purple appeared, which I thought was rather nice.

4. Hawthorn flowers are usually white, but I've noticed a variety that have tinges of pink.

It always amazes me how much one tiny patch of woo It always amazes me how much one tiny patch of woodland can change from one week to the next.

At the moment it is very green. The hawthorn is flowering, although it's now past its best, but it still smells gorgeous. The rowans are flowering too, and where the flowers are almost over, there are tiny little green berries already. Some of the leaves still have their springtime hints of gold or pink.

There are lots of birds, and I can hear little creatures rummaging around in the undergrowth, although they are hard to spot. There is traffic noise too (it's hard to escape it completely), but I can choose to acknowledge it and focus on the birds instead.

I love the woods, and because of this I am working on a new guide. I've called it Things to Make and Do in the Woods in Summer: A Guide for Creative People. It's a bit like The Wild Blossom Companion, but it includes some forest bathing style things as well as some creative invitations to do in the woods and later when you get home.

I will share more about it when it is ready (it almost is). In the meantime, there is a free version of the Wild Blossom Companion if you fancy taking a look. The link is in my bio 🌿🌱🌸

Remember making butterfly pictures as a child? The Remember making butterfly pictures as a child? The ones I made the other week looked like flowers.

So I made them look more like flowers with a pen!

There's really no right or wrong way. Just draw what you can see in the shapes 💖🌸
