    Embroidered Needle Case Tutorial

    Needle cases might be seen as a little bit old fashioned, but I like them. I’m the worst person in the world for losing needles, so having somewhere pretty to put them might stop me from losing so many! This DIY embroidered needle case will eventually end up…

    One of the things that I’ve had on a Pinterest board for a long time is this. It’s a fusion quilt, which basically means that you make quilt squares then crochet them together, so it fuses sewing with crochet. Every time this quilt pops up again, or when…

    This post contains affiliate links. Creativity is an odd thing sometimes. Usually I have lots of ideas, but this hasn’t been the case as much recently. Alan Turing apparently had his best ideas in the bath, and I suspect there’s something in feeling relaxed that helps ideas to…

    I’ve been selling craft kits on Etsy for a while now, and, as ideas go, it’s proved to be one of my better ones. When I opened a shop on Etsy I had no idea what I was doing and I only hit on the craft kits idea…

    Ooh lockdown! We’re now into the fifth week of this in the UK and it goes without saying that it is an odd time. I know we’re safe here, tucked up at home. Our house is on the small side, but it’s not that small. Not in comparison…

    It’s the first time in several years that we’re actually at home for Easter. This isn’t what we’d planned! Easter is a good time to go on holiday. The bank holidays mean extra days and the weather is often alright (and sometimes lovely!). We had planned a trip…

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 ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒธ

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 ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

After I made the colour schemes for April, I had a After I made the colour schemes for April, I had a look back at the ones I made for March. One of the March colour schemes was actually very similar to an April one.

It probably says quite a lot about which colours I like at the moment!

And it stands to reason that at a time of year when there is a lot of blossom, colour palettes are going to be similar. I don't think I could choose between them, it would be like choosing a favourite child! But I think it is interesting that the April one is definitely warmer, reflecting how spring changes from March to April in longer days and warmer weather.

If I think to, I might look for similar colours in May too, and make another colour scheme to compare with the others ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ
