Exciting Times

I can’t tell you how excited I was to read this post from my lovely friend Emma today. No-one deserves to have their designs recognised more than Emma, she has such a great eye and really knows how to design things I want to make!

I was lucky enough to meet Debbie Bliss when she came to a trunk show at Fibre and Clay, which is also the place I first met Emma. Interestingly, I also met Lynne at that same trunk show. Lynne and I have our own exciting news, which you can read about on Lynne’s blog. But, nothing made me whoop for joy quite so much as reading Emma’s news. If you see the Debbie Bliss Fall magazine on the newsstands, buy it, not just for Emma’s beautiful designs, but also to see why Debbie Bliss remains the most inspiring, entertaining and creative knitwear designers the UK currently has.

How can I begin to count the ways in which Fibre and Clay has changed my life? It will be missed

Aww what a lovely blog post – I can see that you’ll miss fibre and clay such a lot Tracey. I was soooo excited too with Emmas news – her hats are truly gorgeous. I saw them first and thought wow -they’re totally fab, then I found out they were designed by Emma and that really made me smile. She really deserves her success. We have a lot to live up to!!!

I love Emma’s designs…and have just hooked one from her blog…great that she has so many fabulous fun knits in the Debbie Bliss book.
Really looking forward to seeing the fruits of your designs and Lynne’s too. You are all very enterprising and creative ladies!

Writing lists, making plans. Always with a real fountain pen, in a real notebook! I write everything long hand, to do lists on the fridge door, weekly chores in my diary and scribbled appointments on the kitchen calendar! I write all my books long hand and keep a notebook by the window where I watch the birds to record what I see. I also have a collection of garden notebooks, every year I plan what I want to grow, record last year's spectacular failures and promise myself that these scribbled notes will magically transform into a coherent plan instead of a higgledy piggledy plot #girlgardener #alwayswriting #parkerpen #fountainpen #organicgarden #veggiepatch #homesteadinglife #handwritten

On the greyest of days, find beauty in the ordinary. Today I made it out of bed in time to watch the sun set, watched dozens of rooks circling in the sky before they head off to their roosts and remembered how much I love this tree at the bottom of my garden.

Hello Friday! After two days in bed with a horrid virus, I managed to get up and fill the bird feeders today. We've had a tiny sprinkling of snow, and the fresh supply of food has brought lots of birds down for an easy meal and meant a few unusual (for us) visitors today. This week's highlights included: a pair of long tail tits, a chiff chaff, sparrowhawk, blue tits and great tits. Mr T says a jay came to visit this morning, but I missed him! I'm sitting by the window, hoping to spot our little wren, but she's being shy today. This week's nature diary is now up the blog - link in profile if you want to take a look. #gardenbirds #BigGardenBirdwatch #badbirdwatcher #winterstories #MyYearOutside #slowliving #beautyintheordinary #naturediary #countrydiary #gardenvisitor #birdsofinstagram

Every day he sits on the garden fence, watching and waiting! I want to tell the goldfinches they need to watch their back - but this guy is hungry too - and so beautiful. #birdsinmygarden #badbirdwatcher #gardenbirds #biggardenbirdwatch #naturediary #naturelover

Yesterday was just too beautiful. A typical cold, but bright January. Instead of a morning walk across the fields I decided to visit the Hatchmere Nature Reserve which is managed by @cheshirewildlifetrust . The sun was so low I could hardly see the road in front of me, and crawled through the village at snail's pace! I hadn't been here since summer. I decided to try the short path that has been created (just 2km), which takes visitors around the Mere. No other walkers, just a couple of men fishing on the still water near the Carriers Inn. I spotted a jay, a wren moorhens and mallards and lots of coots all placidly making their way across the water. #winterstory #MyYearOutdoors #cheshirewildlifetrust #delamereforest #shinrinyoku #dailywalk #getoutdoors #slowandsimpledays #slowliving #thesimplethings #woodlandtrust #naturescalendar

Today's view from the garden gate. I woke early and took my coffee outside, walked out of the gate and up the bank of the field to see the trees in the almost daylight. Two blackbirds, a dunnock and the call of a pheasant greeted me. A flock of tiny black birds flew overhead - about 50 of them, too small to be geese, too big to be starlings, but I didn't recognise their shape. It's cold, but not frosty, as I came back into the garden, I disturbed the early morning finches. As I write this, sitting by the window they're calling an "all clear" to each other. I love this slow stillness of winter mornings. #inmygarden #winterstories #badbirdwatcher #naturediary #thewayweliveinthecountry #slowliving #beautyintheordinary #makingwinter #embracetheseasons #myyearoutdoors
