Under the eaves of my house there are house martin Under the eaves of my house there are house martins' nests. Every year in April, the house martins' arrive, and all through the summer I hear them chattering in their nests and see them swooping about. The sound of those little birds chattering is part of the summer soundscape, until one day I realise that it's quiet, and they've gone. It's usually in late August or early September, and it's a sign that autumn is on its way. One year they didn't arrive until June and I was worried. But they still came back! The house martins remind me that cycles and seasons often involve both beginning again and letting go. To mark their leaving this year, I've been embroidering a little abstract piece that feels like birds in flight. It's a way of holding onto them even as they leave, and reminding myself that they will be back in the spring. #creativelife #wildblossomlife #wildblossomcompanion #slowstitching #gentlecreativity
I chose the theme of soft for September's Wild Blo I chose the theme of soft for September's Wild Blossom Companion. The light is more golden now and less harsh, there are fluffy seed heads and soft grasses, fluffy clouds and pets to cuddle. September is that soft edge between summer and autumn. The colours are becoming muted, with more faded greens, ochre and dusty rose. We might reach for a favourite jumper in the freshness of early morning, or a blanket as the evenings draw in. We're invited to walk softly as leaves start to fall. What does softness mean to you, and how do you weave it into the creative bits of your life? #creativelife #wildblossomlife #quietmoments #softtextures #slowingdownforcreatives
Even as we get older, it's very difficult to shake Even as we get older, it's very difficult to shake off the shiny shoes and new pencil case feeling that September brings. In some ways, it feels more like a new year than January does! But I don't think we need to rely on other people telling us whether or not it is a new year. We can start a new year whenever we like! One way to start afresh is to take a moment, step outside and notice what is there. Signs of autumn are appearing where I live, even though it still feels like summer. Taking a little bit of time to slow down and really see can help us to be there in the present, instead of endlessly rushing from one thing to the next and before we know it, it's Christmas again. This is why I created the Wild Blossom Companion. It's designed to encourage you to slow down a bit and notice, and see how you might use those in things you make. There's no need to completely change your life. That's not what it is. It's also not a toilet roll long ticky list. It's a way to honour the quieter, slower rhythms of a creative life. I have a free edition available on my website if you like the idea of it and you'd like to try it without any commitment. It's called A Gentle Beginning and the link is on my bio. #creativelife #wildblossomlife #wildblossomcompanion #september #newyearanytime #slowingdownabit
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! 🍁🍂 I've written a post about it on Wild Blossom Life.
