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.

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.

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

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 22nd Change

A wish for change

Every penny can help

It does not always happen by itself

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...
