Hello Spring! March is one of my favourite months and not just because it’s my birthday, but because I love the gradual feel of the lengthening days and the slow warming up of the land. The appearance of bright spring flowers and the way the grass starts to look a deep shade of emerald. We are living a temporary nomadic life and it has the refreshing feeling of this time of year. The sap is rising to the challenge! As the majority of our belongings are in storage, one thing I am especially loving is using all the things that I have made over the last few years, and appreciating the time spent on them. It’s a handmade life for now and I’ll be writing about it soon. Ruby xx
As we are currently nomads, in between houses and taking some time out from almost everything, this is just a quickie. After all that packing and initial displacement, life has been more relaxing in our temporary accommodation. However, my fingers have started to twitch a little and as I was starting to miss my needle, I reached for my box of threads and decided on a whim, to fill the pocket of my summer jacket with embroidered wildflowers.
