    Easy Lace Zip Purse Tutorial Although I know of people who will go to some lengths to avoid sewing with zips, it’s difficult to avoid them altogether, especially if you like to make lots of different things. Lace zips are a fab idea. They turn something functional into a…

You know that feeling when you feel inspired by na You know that feeling when you feel inspired by nature and the changing seasons, and you want to do something or make something but you don't know what?

Creative invitations are open ended ideas that invite noticing and creative exploration. There is no expectation to produce something perfect, done in a certain way or even finished. The process matters as much as the end result, and it's fine to try them, ignore them, abandon them, or take them further.

Here are some creative invitations for March:

🌼 Take inspiration from the daffodils'  frilly trumpets and make something frilly. An easy way to do this is to add too many stitches when crocheting or knitting. Another is to deliberately pull at a hem while sewing it.

🌼 Spot yellow things. Obviously daffodils are yellow, but you might spot other yellow things, natural and human made.

🌼 Step outside at sunset and notice the colours in the sky. Before the clocks change, where I live sunset is at about 6.30, then afterwards an hour later. There are sometimes lovely sunsets in March.

🌼  Stitch the weather. You could add some applique as well if you wanted to. Sometimes there are all four seasons in March!

I like to have a new project in early spring 🌸🌱 O I like to have a new project in early spring 🌸🌱

Often it's the colours that I find most inspiring. After winter, the blossom is a change. And even though the lichen was already there, noticing the blossom means noticing the lichen as well. 

One creative invitation for February was to start something with no intention of finishing it, so that is what I am doing.

February is not really one thing or the other, and February is not really one thing or the other, and both at the same time. There are signs of spring everywhere. Early blossom is appearing and the hedgerows are waking up. The other day, I saw buds on a magnolia tree in somebody's garden, green and fuzzy and huge. 

When I took these photos, it had snowed earlier in the day. Signs of spring among reminders that it is still winter. 

We forget that we are part of nature. We have cycles and seasons. If February has anything to say to us, it is that it is fine to be several things at once, or not quite one or the other. Everything will work itself out in its own time. 🌸💮🌱❄️
