I’ve been leaning into all the cosy autumnal creativity lately and I’m really, really loving it 🍂
Colourful autumn walks, mixing muted colours and painting moody florals, working on projects tucked away in my little workroom with a hot drink beside me, crocheting scrunchies and making handmade gifts with a snoring Cavalier by my side 🐶😂
And let’s talk about weekends.
Since April started school, weekends have suddenly felt like such a luxury. We’ve been trying to get outside as much as we can while we still have plenty of daylight - because I know once the clocks change at the end of the month, we’ll be losing so much of that afternoon light!
I’ve been really conscious about making sure the kids get as much fresh air and outdoor time as possible, so our weekends have pretty much become about getting out, walking, exploring and making the most of these autumn days.
I also had my little sourdough starter revolution 😂 I finally figured out how to feed it properly and get it all lovely and bubbly… so I’ve been spoiling the family (and neighbours!) with lots of freshly baked goodies. This has meant a lot of late evenings mixing dough for the next day and trying to get it just right. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t quite so stubborn! 😂
This week is a busy one too - a private workshop, two other classes, some lovely personalisation orders and lots of content creating for my Blooming Calligraphers membership. And honestly, creating all the content and coming up with new projects and ideas for the membership is something I still love doing so much.
And just a little thank you while I’m here. 🤎
I’m really grateful for all of you who follow along. I’ve always wanted this account to be more than just perfect calligraphy shots, so I hope you enjoy these little glimpses of the real-life bits too - the creative projects, the walks, the baking, the crochet and everything in between 😊
