Days 13 – 19 #SavouringJanuary2017
Day 13 of #savouringjanuary2017 with @gabrielletreanor *Work*..Pondered over this one for a while what picture to share. In the end I thought I would share where #work happened. I am a very very lucky girl. The wooden cabin is my ‘Studio’. My parents farmhouse just behind. This picture was taken by my brother from the […]
Catching up: Days 6-12 #SavouringJanuary2017
*Read*..I love @simplethingsmag and try to make it last as long as I can and it’s such a lovely cover this month. Still cosy. Unlike a couple of other ones who have jumped into spring way too quickly. We have too much winter to get through yet before thinking about spring. Also reading my new #DreamPlanDo […]
Day 5 – Savouring January
Day 5 of #savouringjanuary2017 with @gabrielletreanor *Gentle *..I’ve had quite a gentle day today. Still on ‘holiday’ from work.I started with Morning Pages, and a new exercise I’ve invented for myself, ‘Writing Pages’. A single page of fiction from a prompt. The prompt is derived from any book lying around. Use the date eg 5 as […]
Savouring January Days 1 to 4
#Savouring January I spotted Gabrielle Treanor’s post on Facebook on her ‘Live Happy Your Way’ page “Welcome to the new year and #SavouringJanuary2017! Let’s begin the year with a little mindful intention, noticing those small moments of joy and pausing to savour them. Feel free to share the list, join in as much or as little as you […]
The Adventures of Dora & Dymph
This morning and my New Year began with ‘Morning Pages’ reading about them on a couple of websites and watching this video from Julia Cameron auther of The Artists Way. I hope that it will become a habit, we’ll have to see and I’ll give it a go. Another habit I would like to cultivte is […]
HYGGE – the distilled essence of cosiness
But So much more than just cosy. A way of life for the Danes, who adopted a Norse word for well-being in the 18th Century and have hugged it ever since. Recently it has crossed to our shores and there is a lot about Hygge everywhere, magazines, Pinterest, new books, a whole movement towards the […]
Sew today
I’m up in my cabin all day today, I thoroughly enjoy ‘my space’, and I know I am a very lucky girl to have such a great space to play err I mean WORK in! The views from here are great and I have been known to take my sewing machine outside and set up at the […]
Sew New Lampshade covers
‘Sew New’ is a series of one day creative days. Running from 10am until 4pm it is a full day spent in the Barn in the company of likeminded individuals and friends, working on a project from start to finish. Sometimes it can be frustrating to have to put something to one side because of […]
A day of felt making
Bronte & Anne came up to the Barn at the beginning of September to spend the day learning how to make felt using the wetfelting method. Felt making is something I didn’t think I would be interested in as I had an impression in my head that it involved large amounts of water and lots […]
A short story – A tall tale
I hugely enjoy writing. Fiction and poetry. I don’t’ seem to find time to write often and I only seem to do it if there is a deadline. If someone has given me a title or subject and there is a date it needs to be in by. About six years ago I started a […]
