    Crocheted Lace Flowers

    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…

    I find myself in a permanent struggle with mess and grot and junk in my house. I am always having a sort out but most of the time it feels like two steps forward and five steps back. You probably know the kind of thing. I deal with…

    Boys 1 and 2 have been mithering for ages to have a go on my sewing machine. I’d thought that having all boys and no girls meant that I would never be able to sew with my children, but my boys have proved me wrong! Anyway, a few…

    After I had made the crayon rolls for Boy 3’s nursery’ s Easter Fair, I had some small bits of fabric left over, so I decided to make some fabric flower hair bobbles. Having boys means this is something I don’t do very often! They were very easy…

What does late summer feel like to you? I find i What does late summer feel like to you? 

I find it a weird time of year. In some ways it feels like summer still. The weather is still warm and will hopefully be a while before we're back into winter coats again. But the light has changed, the hedgerows are full of berries, the early mornings are colder and the nights are drawing in.

It feels almost sad, but not really because autumn is lovely! πŸπŸ‚

I've written a post about it on Wild Blossom Life. The link is in my bio if you want to read it πŸ’–

I would not feel better if I had done the things I should have done instead of the things I wanted to do.

July... 🌸 Blackberries that are starting to lo July...

🌸 Blackberries that are starting to look ripe, although they might still be a bit zingy for most people's tastes!

🌸 Fields full of wild flowers 

🌸 Lots of sunshine!

🌸 Some of the wheat is nearly ready for harvesting. 

🌸 Shady lanes are blissfully cool

If you like the idea of slowing down a bit and noticing the seasons changing, along with some ideas for gentle, open ended creative things you can do that reflect the seasons, you might be interested in the Wild Blossom Companion. It's a themed, monthly guide for creative people and is available as a subscription or as standalone months. There are links in bio, or DM me if you want to as anything. πŸ’–πŸŒžπŸŒΏ

A new project! It was years ago that I realised A new project! 

It was years ago that I realised that the landscape here in Norfolk is so often stripy. Fields, hedges, lanes, the sea, clouds, all manage to arrange themselves into a series of stripes.

The idea of making a neat little drawing or a painting might feel like too much, especially if you are somebody who likes the idea of making art but are afraid of doing it wrong.

Making a picture by assembling stripes can feel much less intimidating. Some of the decisions have already been made, and the stripes mean that one thing in particular is the focus, rather than all of it and not knowing where to start because it's all too much.

The next thing I'm going to do is sew the stripes together, then I might add some embroidered poppies to the foreground. At the moment it is under a tea towel to protect it from the cats!

This idea is a creative invitation from June's Wild Blossom Companion. I've assigned a theme to each month, but plenty of the themes can be revisited at other times of the year as well.
