Here are some for autumn:

🍁 Make leaf rubbings. It's not just for children! Experiment with chalk and crayon, and different colours, single leaves and overlapping.

🍁 Collect autumn colours. You might like to match them with thread, fabric, paint or pencils.

🍁 Make a little abstract picture in autumn colours using your favourite stitches. I like French knots! πŸͺ‘ What about you?

🍁 Take a moment when outside. What can you see, hear and smell?

If you are wondering about the photos, they are of the Peter Scott walk that follows the shore of the wash from Sutton Bridge round to Kings Lynn πŸ’–

I'm knitting socks again so it must be autumn! I I'm knitting socks again so it must be autumn! 

I find there are particular things I like to do depending on the season. Knitting socks is lovely, but I don't want to knit in the summer. I prefer the more woolly crafts when it's colder. In the summer I prefer sewing and embroidery. Sometimes I break my own rules, because why not?!

Do you have seasonal preferences when it comes to the things you like to make? Let me know in the comments πŸ’–πŸπŸ‚πŸ§ΆπŸ§΅

Early autumn has its own colours, before October a Early autumn has its own colours, before October and November being deeper browns, oranges and reds. 

At the moment, there is still quite a lot of green, even though it's muted, mixed with brown and yellow of leaves starting to turn and the berries in the hedgerows.

Apples are one of those things that really say September. I was admiring the apples on my neighbour's tree, not just because they looked delicious but also because the colours were so pretty.

What I thought was red was actually pink, which faded beautifully into yellow and green.

So I made a colour scheme for September, based on the colours of those apples. I have a version that includes hex codes for digital projects, and you can download it for free from my website. The link is in my bio πŸŽπŸπŸ’–
