    DIY Scandinavian Style Christmas Decorations There’s no question at all that the Scandinavians do winter better than anyone else. One of the things I loved about a recent trip to Norway was eating breakfast by candlelight. The mornings were gloomy and the sky overcast, but in the hotel…

This is one of my favourite trees. It's round the This is one of my favourite trees. It's round the corner from my house. I think it's a sycamore, and although I know very little about trees, I believe sycamores belong to the Maple family, which means they are especially gorgeous in autumn. Can you see how on the right the leaves are changing colour? It's like it's got one arm in its autumn coat. I'll be keeping an eye on this tree over the next few weeks because I know it will be beautiful πŸ’–πŸπŸ‘Œ Don't have a favourite tree? I'm sure you do! But if you really don't, I encourage you to choose one next time you are out. Or a few of you can't pick one πŸ’– #creativelife #wildblossomlife #autumncolours #septembernature #smallthingsmatter
The house martins who spend the summers in their n The house martins who spend the summers in their nests under the eaves of my house have gone, back to sub Saharan Africa where they will spend the winter. Every year their arrival announces the imminent arrival of summer, and their departure marks the beginning of autumn. Hand stitching these little birds has been a way to slow down and acknowledge the seasons changing. It's not a big thing, it hasn't required lots of time or a special trip somewhere, and I already had the fabric and the thread. But it's enough to recognize that autumn is here, and that nature operates in cycles. The house martins have left but they'll be back in the spring. It's also what I hope the Wild Blossom Companion offers: gentle invitations to notice and mark the changing of the seasons. #creativelife #wildblossomlife #wildblossomcompanion #slowstitching #noticingthenaturalworld
Under the eaves of my house there are house martin Under the eaves of my house there are house martins' nests. Every year in April, the house martins' arrive, and all through the summer I hear them chattering in their nests and see them swooping about. The sound of those little birds chattering is part of the summer soundscape, until one day I realise that it's quiet, and they've gone. It's usually in late August or early September, and it's a sign that autumn is on its way. One year they didn't arrive until June and I was worried. But they still came back! The house martins remind me that cycles and seasons often involve both beginning again and letting go. To mark their leaving this year, I've been embroidering a little abstract piece that feels like birds in flight. It's a way of holding onto them even as they leave, and reminding myself that they will be back in the spring. #creativelife #wildblossomlife #wildblossomcompanion #slowstitching #gentlecreativity
I chose the theme of soft for September's Wild Blo I chose the theme of soft for September's Wild Blossom Companion. The light is more golden now and less harsh, there are fluffy seed heads and soft grasses, fluffy clouds and pets to cuddle. September is that soft edge between summer and autumn. The colours are becoming muted, with more faded greens, ochre and dusty rose. We might reach for a favourite jumper in the freshness of early morning, or a blanket as the evenings draw in. We're invited to walk softly as leaves start to fall. What does softness mean to you, and how do you weave it into the creative bits of your life? #creativelife #wildblossomlife #quietmoments #softtextures #slowingdownforcreatives
