    It’s nice to have a reason to make things, and this waterproof drawstring bag is one of those kind of projects. Having a word for the year was a thing a few years ago, and although it can seem as much as of a cliche as New Year’s…

    How to Plan a Sewing Project If you have read any of my other blog posts, you will probably have realised that I rarely use a pattern to make things. I prefer to come up with something myself from scratch. That way I end up with something that is…

2 things from today 💖 The first is a tree outs 2 things from today 💖 The first is a tree outside the co op in my village. It is a treat all year round, and it makes me feel a little bit warmer knowing that those berries are going to keep some little birds going this winter. The second is a ball of yarn I have been making over a few days, from cotton, and tissue paper from a present. Special things can be found in the ordinary 💖🐦‍⬛🧶 #wildblossomlife #winter #berries #paperyarn #slowingdownabit
This morning my 16 year old peered out of the wind This morning my 16 year old peered out of the window and remarked that it wasn't really light yet! It has been a grey, drizzly day. My youngest boy and I went out for a short walk, and I noticed the beautiful holly tree in somebody's garden, all glossy leaves and bright berries. Before lunch, we made our Advent candle. We've been making our own from beeswax sheets for a few years now. It felt like the perfect thing to do on a gloomy day. We lit it at dinner time, in amongst the usual mess and homework. #wildblossomlife #advent #adventcandle #slowdecember #ordinarydays
A rowan tree 🍂🧡 The rowan is one of my favo A rowan tree 🍂🧡 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 🧡🐦‍⬛ #wildblossomlife #november #rowantree #creativelife #slowdownandlook
November 🍂 Storm Claudia blew most of the leav November 🍂 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? 🍂🧡 #wildblossomlife #november #norfolkfens #findinginspirationinnature #getoutside #seasons
