    Iโ€™ve decided that 2019 will be the Year of Bunting. This time last year I wrote a post about what I learnt in 2017. For various reasons I donโ€™t want to write a similar post at the moment. I learnt plenty of things, but not all of them…

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
