    If you’ve been here before, you’ll probably know that I love autumn. I actually have a hard time choosing between the seasons! Lots of people like the summer best. It’s nice not having to wear a coat and people’s gardens smell nice and you can go to the…

    Easy To Sew Pumpkins Tutorial I’ve gone a little bit pumpkin mad this autumn. Having returned from a trip to New England recently, I can see why pumpkins mean autumn for lots of people. I actually don’t like eating them very much (although pumpkin spice latte is delicious!), but…

    How to Make a Needle Felted Pumpkin There’s something about autumn that makes me want to leave the sewing machine alone a little bit and reach for some woolly crafts. I discovered wet felting a few years ago, and if you’re looking for a new craft to try,…

    DIY Autumn Flower Arrangement One of the positive things I’ve discovered about getting older is that I’m much comfier in my own skin. Among the things I have realised are that it’s fine to be a home loving introvert with anti social tendencies and preferring the colder months…

Nettles to yarn 🌱🧶 Not a project that can be done Nettles to yarn 🌱🧶

Not a project that can be done in an afternoon! It's taken about a week just to make a tiny bit and could probably have left them for longer.

I love how nettle like the yarn is. It's quite soft and smells of plants.

It's ridiculously hot but at least it's cooler in It's ridiculously hot but at least it's cooler in the woods 🌳🌿

Apparently it's not just because it's shady. It's also because trees do a thing called evapotranspiration which means they release moisture into the air. So it's basically nature's air conditioning 🌿🌞💖

So if you are too hot and you are able to, find yourself a wood. Or even a clump of trees will do. 

If you like the idea of having something to do while you are there, I have written a new guide, called What to do in the Woods in Summer: A Guide for Creative People. It's quite a lot like the Wild Blossom Companion, there's a little bit to read, some forest bathing style things to do, some gentle, open ended creative things to do while you are there, and some more for when you get home if you want to stretch it out a bit more. The link is in my bio.

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.
