    Very Easy DIY Christmas Earrings It’s nice to have something to wear at Christmas. However, buying new clothes can be expensive, and it doesn’t always seem worth it to buy something just for Christmas. And as any of you who have kids will know, going clothes shopping with…

    The other day I wanted to crochet but I also needed to make some earrings. So it got me thinking: would it be possible to mash the two things together and crochet some earrings? Preferably earrings that are neither enormous or woolly looking. I had a go at…

    Jewellery Bag Tutorial

    January 8, 2012March 23, 2016 Living a Creative Life

    Now that Christmas is finally over I can concentrate on making things that are not jam or dinosaur hats. I’ve made some tiny purses and some earrings, but the jewellery bags have given me trouble. It has to be lined because nobody wants to find that they cannot…

A rowan tree πŸ‚πŸ§‘ The rowan is one of my favo A rowan tree πŸ‚πŸ§‘ The rowan is one of my favourite trees. There's a song about it, and it always makes me think of Quickbeam the Ent in Lord of the Rings, who every time he saw a rowan tree, would lift his tree arms and sway towards it. One year I made rowan jelly from the berries. It was a beautiful shade of orange and it tasted like nice marmalade. There are lots of berries still on this one, and the leaves are brown and gold. Even though it feels like winter now, there are still little bits of autumn hanging on. And it's nice to think that there is food for the birds there πŸ§‘πŸ¦β€β¬› #wildblossomlife #november #rowantree #creativelife #slowdownandlook
November πŸ‚ Storm Claudia blew most of the leav November πŸ‚ Storm Claudia blew most of the leaves off the trees last week. There are still some, but lots of them have gone now. The berries are very visible, lots of hawthorns and still some rowan berries. Everywhere is muddy! Big piles of sugar beet have been slowly disappearing, and all the rain has made the footpaths squishy. If I go out at 4.30 pm to get milk or cat food or bits for tea, it's dark and my reaction is "bleugghh!" But I actually quite like it. It's nice to get back home to my cosy little house with my boys and my cats. It is tempting to dislike November but I quite like it. What about you? πŸ‚πŸ§‘ #wildblossomlife #november #norfolkfens #findinginspirationinnature #getoutside #seasons
Leaf rubbings revisited πŸπŸ‚ Last year I made Leaf rubbings revisited πŸπŸ‚ Last year I made some leaf rubbings using thin paper and chalky pastels. Now a year on, I wanted to do some more, but different. I was toying with the idea of trying out printing with a gelli plate (@vickymyerscreations has lots of videos). It looks like fun but I suspect it is addictive, so that doesn't sound like the best idea for me at the moment 🧐😜 Dealing with my disappointment with myself for being sensible, I realised that one of the things that appeals about gelli plate printing is the layers. Layers is the theme for October's Wild Blossom Companion (honestly nobody is going to check if the months bleed into each other! πŸ’–), and I had an idea to make leaf rubbings again, but creating layers by adding colour to the paper first. I like the results, and I already had everything I needed πŸ’–πŸ§‘πŸπŸ‚ I still haven't ruled out the gelli plate thing through! #creativelife #wildblossomlife #natureinspired #leafrubbings #layers #seasonal creativity
