sunday snippets

The last month, it feels like a combo of busy and calm…there’s been homeschool renewal and trips to the beach, and there’s been a good solid run of almost-normal weeks. There was rain (finally), and cyclone watches with friends in the firing line. New projects and new motivation and finding my groove. There was the show and a sugar glider rescue and pancakes for Shrove Tuesday and hot cross buns for Ash Wednesday. Last month I was talking about adjusting to life without Eldest living at home, and this month, we are down to days until he’s back in the nest for a whole week; time, just doing its thing as we do the days.

FUN LINKS I’VE LOVED THIS MONTH

Love this post on keeping a sketchbook and “noticing what you notice”
My new favourite HCB recipe
The socks I’ve been knitting
and a fun collection of shawl patterns
swapping scrolling for making (I always feel better when I do)
a playlist I’m loving for mornings at the school table
a watercolour recipe I want to try
contemplating something like this weaving draft for my next project (spoiler I’m still threading my current project)
Planning and researching to make some flower gardens for cut flowers

AROUND THE INTERWEBS

SUBSTACK
big projects & FOMO // the outcomes that matter
(Substack is a bit like a mini magazine, where each week I share an essay on creativity and making, along with some behind the scenes peeks, plus bonus content each fortnight for paying subscribers).

Don’t forget if you want to follow along with each post as it drops, you can add the blog to a feed reader (I love Feedly) or you can always pop your email into the box below and get each post direct to your inbox. I normally aim for two to three posts a week
