What to do on a wet Wednesday when the washing can't go out and the weeding will have to wait.

For me it became a Wellbeing Wednesday where I worked on developing some new ideas we have for our Slow Stitch Kits (keep watching for more information).

Our Kits are more than a creative experience. They are an invitation to slow down and give yourself some me time.

I think we all should have dedicated me time. This isn't a luxury, it is a necessity x

Research shows that flowers significantly boost mental health. Simply viewing or interacting with them lowers stress, reduces anxiety and releases chemicals like dopamine that help us feel more positive.

And

Research consistently shows that sewing and crafting are highly beneficial for mental health. They help reduce stress, lower anxiety and boost overall happiness by giving a sense of accomplishment and purpose.

So (or sow, or sew)

Our new mini kits might help reduce stress and enhance well-being. They are flower themed slow stitch kits just waiting for you to take your thread for a wander.

No instructions, no right or wrong way, just an invitation to have some 'me' time and let your imagination drive your creation.

Fond farewells done differently - no catalogue, each one unique, made by hand just for your special person so they really mean something. Full or part compostable options ... and if you'd like to, you can even make them with us too.

Pictured a pretty Spring wreath with homegrown pastel pink/white/cream double, parrot and fringed tulips, fancy scented narcissi, euphorbia, skimmia, damson, and blackthorn blossom, p***y willow, the first hazel leaves just starting to unfurl, rosemary to signify love/remembrance/protection and mixed foliage

If you would like an Easter gift that is unique, functional and free from calories, our lavender products may be the answer.

Each one has been individually printed by hand and handmade by me. They are filled with homegrown lavender for a calming, relaxing scent which also protects woollens from nibbling moths.

They are currently reduced by 50% and are available from our website - link in bio.

A great gift for you or family and friends.
