    DIY Bunting Card Having concentrated mostly on sewing for the last few years, I’ve decided with one thing and another to change direction a little bit and include more of other crafts. This is actually what I did when I started Tea and a Sewing Machine. It was…

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. #creativelife #woodsinsummer #getoutside #slowdownabit #inspiredbynature
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. #wildblossomlife #boro #visiblemending #makedoandmend
Colour schemes for May... 1. This is actually a d Colour schemes for May... 1. This is actually a ditch between 2 fields. It's often manky and full of litter, but the other day it looked quite nice. 2. May is a very green month, so there needed to be one mainly green colour scheme! 3. I said before that the person who said, "Blue and green should not be seen unless there's something in between" must never have looked up and seen green leaves against a blue sky. When I pixelated the photo some purple appeared, which I thought was rather nice. 4. Hawthorn flowers are usually white, but I've noticed a variety that have tinges of pink. #wildblossomlife #May #colourschemes #natureinspired #spring
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.
