I've been thinking about how easily we can slip in I've been thinking about how easily we can slip into comparing our lives with other people's and feel that we are failing because our lives don't look like theirs.

In the end, we are all different, our circumstances are different, our children are different, our home lives are different. What might work brilliantly for one person at the moment, in the season of life they are in, might just not work for you right now.

Sometimes the best we can do is accept that the current situation is what it is. Sometimes particular things need to take priority, or there might be a weird phase we have to live through. 

But it is worth remembering that growth can look like stillness, care can be keeping things simple, wintering is a thing, letting go is sometimes necessary, and tending what is can be as necessary as cooking up something new.

This is what Wild Blossom Life is about. It's not about making huge changes to your life. It's about doing little things that help, slowing down, getting outside even if it's only for a few moments, remembering to breathe, noticing what is there, then having some kind of creative thing for your hands to do if that is what you need, without pressure or expectation.

From October's Wild Blossom Companion: "This is a From October's Wild Blossom Companion:

"This is a season of layers. 

Leaves drift down to form a rustling tapestry on the forest floor. 

The hedgerows become textured with sloes and rosehips. 

The fields lie stubbled and still. 

The skies stretch wider.

There's a richness in the layering of scent and sound: damp earth, woodsmoke and the call of migrating birds."

Painting leaves πŸπŸ‚πŸ§‘ After making an Octo Painting leaves πŸπŸ‚πŸ§‘

After making an October colour palette with water colour, I wanted to do something else with the paint. 

So I painted some leaves πŸπŸ‚

If you feel that you are not much of an artist, it can be difficult to try, even if you really want to. Often we have this expectation that what we make, draw or paint has to be perfect.

One thing that is very clear from looking at autumn leaves is how beautiful they are in all their imperfections! The colours are blotchy. They look like they ought to be symmetrical, but they often are not. The edges are wiggly and the lobes are uneven. So if you don't paint perfect, neat little watercolours, your leaves will probably be lovely!

I already had the colours, so that was one less thing to think about. It was a joyful experiment, not an exercise in perfection. Blotchiness is required! And a pro tip if you are new to this, let the leaves dry before painting the veins πŸ˜‰πŸ§‘
