Colour outside the lines

posted in: Emstagram 0

Once you’ve ignited your creative spark, don’t be afraid to let it go. Bend the rules… try something different.. step outside of your comfort zone.. create something extraordinary… do something crazy like start a sentence with an And (sorry to everyone I offended by doing that yesterday ?) …colour outside the lines

Look for things no one else catches

posted in: Emstagram 0

Yesterday, whilst playing a game of Articulate, my 6 year old described a comma as “something you need for an expanded noun phrase” Undoubtedly excellent grammatical knowledge, but a slightly telling sign too, of an education system that churns out little exam machines. .
As a child of the 80s, when learning such things wasn’t part of the pedagogy, my knowledge of grammar is limited to the very basics. And so I would probably have described a comma as a full stop with a tail, or something that looks a bit like a tadpole. (But then again, I start sentences with and, so what do I know?)
.
Keep looking. Keep thinking differently. Keeping watching for the things that no one else catches x

Join the dots for bright ideas

It’s not my life’s mission to stitch things as small as possible, although sometimes it does seem that way doesn’t it?! I really wanted to use this image in my project, and I only had a small gap, so thought I’d give it a try … I’ve included a pin for a bit of context, and my beloved @Aurifil 80wt, which I how I manage this tiny feat .

Ignite your spark

posted in: Emstagram 0

Synonyms for august; majestic, magnificent, great, awesome, magnificent, excellent. .
A few weeks ago I decided that I needed a project that I could dip in and out of over the summer holidays. I even went as far writing up a list of photo prompts, and then I remembered that I find photo challenges super stressful (i have however popped the list on my stories in case you are not of a similar disposition and you’d like to use them) instead, I’ve made myself a word challenge .. the kind thing that completely ignites my spark … all based around the theme august – I hope you’ll enjoy watching as I make!

Nice muscles

posted in: Emstagram 0

I’m off to the seaside this afternoon, and decided to use that as inspiration for my food picture this Friday which , for once, comes with packaging of the natural variety (not forgetting some handy hints on how to enjoy your moules c/o Rick Stein’s book, English Seafood Cookery!) .
The original, made from beautifully soft blue linens and Liberty print is available on my website – link in bio – there’s just one available, so snap it up quickly!
