Finding peace and joy to create again.

Nothing like a good dose of sunshine and tree shade in the Welsh hills and mountains to give a sense of well being and re-invigorate the creative slump.

Little things       

which are simple 

and divine

somehow let one breathe.

The joy of others completes your own.




















And, of course, others’ work makes you breathless with amazement and fills you once again with the wonderment of the world.

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

June 9th: From Down Low

One of my favorite types of pictures are those that look at something from an angle which you don't usually see it...
I also really love looking at leaves and their almost translucent quality in some light...
So for your (hopeful) enjoyment a fern, from underneath...

(...Mom why are you laying on the ground?...) I fear their teenage years are going to be embarrassing for them

May 24th GO (for a walk)

This week I've been out with the girls enjoying the sunshine and weather. We've had lots of mini adventures before and after nursery doing things usually kept for non-school days.
My favorite was when we went for a walk in the woods. I love the way light filters through the leaves on even overcast days...

May 20th Light

This picture is a picture about light in so many ways.
If I had not met my husband...
moved to Wales...
I never would had found Tintern Abbey...
in the beautiful Wye Valley...
(where the light always seems to bend a certain way and seems to caress the cheek...)
I also never would have had that dancer of light and laughter...
And then there is the glorious sun, again, pouring across time and space...
This picture is the essence of light for me; it fills me with a glowing that brims and overflows.


Please feel free to pop over to LoomyBin and have a look at the weaving I also do.

May 18th Want (to learn to Spin)

So this morning everyone was up early so we got dressed and went for a walk up Y Garth. This wool was caught on one of the fences and it made me wish I really knew how to spin.

I'd love to dye and spin my own fibres for some really unique and 'completely' handmade by me scarves.

Have a look at what else caught my eye and fills my mind with inspiration...

To have a peek at my weaving pop into LoomyBin.
