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…

Crocheted Wire Earrings

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…

Today I should have done housework and attacked th Today I should have done housework and attacked the garden, so I went for a walk and took a nap. I would not feel better if I had done the things I should have done instead of the things I wanted to do. Sometimes the boring things can wait ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒž #norfolk #summer #creativelife #getoutside #fieldnotes

It's a themed, monthly guide for creative people and is available as a subscription or as standalone months.

A new project! It was years ago that I realised A new project! It was years ago that I realised that the landscape here in Norfolk is so often stripy. Fields, hedges, lanes, the sea, clouds, all manage to arrange themselves into a series of stripes. The idea of making a neat little drawing or a painting might feel like too much, especially if you are somebody who likes the idea of making art but are afraid of doing it wrong. Making a picture by assembling stripes can feel much less intimidating. Some of the decisions have already been made, and the stripes mean that one thing in particular is the focus, rather than all of it and not knowing where to start because it's all too much. The next thing I'm going to do is sew the stripes together, then I might add some embroidered poppies to the foreground. At the moment it is under a tea towel to protect it from the cats! This idea is a creative invitation from June's Wild Blossom Companion. I've assigned a theme to each month, but plenty of the themes can be revisited at other times of the year as well. If you'd like more information about the Wild Blossom Companion, there is a link in my bio ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’– #creativelife #wildblossomlife #wildblossomcompanion #stripes #Norfolk #seasonalcreativity #creativeinvitation #creativeideasforsummer
"To be creative is to let little pieces of your he "To be creative is to let little pieces of your heart go and place them into each project you make." Pat Bravo, textile designer. This quote shows perfectly why it doesn't matter if what you make isn't perfect. Perfection isn't the point! A machine might be able to do something perfectly, and get the same perfect results every time. That's why mass produced is awful. Dozens of things, all the same, with no variation. Handmade things are different. Each one is unique. Even if we make the same thing several times, each one will be different because it is very hard to make things that are identical. It's the same in nature. Each little leaf, flower, buzzing insect, cat, or human is different. They're not supposed to be the same. We are not the same. And the things that make things different might be what makes them imperfect, but I'd rather have something unique and imperfect than boringly perfect and the same as a hundred others. #lettinggoofperfectionism #perfectisboring #creativelife #creativityeveryday #handmade
