Finally Felted

After years of wanting to try wet felting and being encouraged by my old school friend Ali who has such a talent, I finally got my chance last Friday.

A lovely lady from my knit and natter group showed us how make fabric …

and these adorable little felt balls.

I think I may be seriously addicted to this new craft activity!

I have enjoyed my few efforts at wet felting – I think it’s like being a child again, messing about with wool and water and generally having fun!

This is why I always let the sorrel go to seed - free birdfood for the goldfinches! Watching them feast on the seed heads is such a joy, they spend hours carefully balancing on the stems. I feel so lucky to have this garden.

Almost plastic free supermarket delivery! I just wanted to reassure everyone who gets overwhelmed by those photos of the perfectly organised, matchy matchy kilner jar filled photos that it is possible for ordinary, time pressed families to slash the pointless plastic that fills our supermarket deliveries. Yep, there is some plastic here - but it's a lot less than it could be. I can't help wondering though - if Ocado can sell organic tomatoes in biodegradeable containers, why not all their tomatoes? The Johnsons cotton buds have been sold with cardboard cores for ages - and the plastic lids make perfect drip catchers for pots of seedlings in the greenhouse. Pasta and risotto rice are still sold in cardboard boxes if you look for them, the garlic label is compostable. And yes, I do live within travelling distance of a plastic free shop and yes I sometimes shop there, but juggling between work and living with chronic illness it's so much easier for me to get my bulkier food and household items delivered. I refuse to feel guilty about what I don't do. Every week I look at our lifestyle and I know we do the best we can whenever we can. #plasticfree #pointlessplastic #sustainableliving #smallsustainablesteps #dothegreenthing #zerowaste #towardszerowaste #plasticfreechester #ecoworrier #wastenot #wasteless #refuseplastic

Tiny things, spotted on a morning tour of the garden. Out of shot - a blackbird foraging for worms, sparrows squabbling over food scraps - all the while serenaded by a robin. Simple things make me happy. #girlgardener #permaculture #forestgarden #mygardentoday #morningstories #slowliving #myyearoutside #organicgardening #thesimplethings #myseasonalstory

When you tire of rhubarb crumble - make gin! Recipe for rhubarb and ginger gin on my blog. #gin #gardenersofinstagram #ediblegarden #rhubarb #permaculture #forestgarden #chesterfoodcomm

We've reached that point in the year when photos of birds give way to photos of butterflies! Today is wet & cold, but yesterday the sun shone & the garden was full of tiny wildlife. I saw my first swift of the year on my walk to the post office, so lovely to see them swooping and soaring over the rooftops again.

Overblown tulips - doing a great job of brightening the garden while I wait for the peonies! I love early May, every year I used to gather & cut flowers to fill the house for my daughter's birthday parties - she's rarely here for her birthday now, but I'll still be picking aquilegia, tulips and forget - me - nots this weekend! #myseasonalstory #mygardenrightnow #mygardenthismonth #girlgardener
