Transitions: Autumn Equinox walk

So life has been winding along... and the seasons are on the change...

 

I hope you're having a little time to enjoy the transitions

Busy days busy nights: Summer fun

  I've been so busy with Summery fun and working on creating for a market I'm having that I've not had much time for blogging. I thought I'd give you a quick overview of what's been going on:

Walks in the city (Mermaid Quay)

Lots of outdoor walks

Enjoying the fresh morning dew

Enjoying nature

Seeing new things

Delighting in the amazingly simple and fresh

Spending time with my navigator

Revelling in design

And then I've been working hard on my weaving and creating:

Beads and weaving bits

New scarves woven

Making messes

Finishing off  projects I've been longing to do for ages

Weaving fresh designs for summer

Enjoying colors and shape

Finally getting to the pile of sewing which has been hanging over me head

Concentrating on detail

Creating new designs

Having a few mishaps

Loving the time I've taken to make and create simple things.

 If you'd like to see more of my creations check out LoomyBin. 

I've got an online market going on until Sunday.

Getting Ready for a Strawberry Tea... (Preparing for special auction to benefit Breast Cancer awareness)

A group of us are making up a few items to auction off to benefit Breast Cancer Care.

So many of us have been touched by cancer of one kind or another. As we all know it's important to do a little something now and again to help those in need. After chatting with a few of my friends who also create beautiful items we decided to run a little auction. Link to the online event.

This is one of the items that I have made for the auction....

A woven jute square with crocheted edges.

I tied the corners up with bright red coarse wool and added a heart.

White spotty heart as made by JellyBean Home Gifts

 This is the finished basket. 

5x5x1.25inches. 

Ideal for keys, buttons, change, and other small bits and bobs.

Finished little basket.

 If you'd like to see other trinket baskets and scarves I've been making pop over to LoomyBin. I have lots of lovely woven items to inspire and delight.

Enjoying Life: A walk in Cefn Onn

Out for a walk in Cefn Onn park

There is little I enjoy more than being out with my girls in the woods on a sunny afternoon. Lush scents of damp earth and growing things. Sounds of birds and laughter and splashing. Rich deep greens and browns paired with the bright flash of color from flowers. The soft mulch giving ever so slightly underfoot or a hand in mine, warm and little wet and gritty from the stream .... mmm so much to love and appreciate and enjoy
