Blustery winds and sideways rain have reminded us that the balmy days of summer are gone, while the colours around us turn towards the bronzed reds and copper yellows. The hedgerows shift from vibrant green and hot pink to the deeper darker bottle greens and blood red crimsons, bloom covered deep purple sloes and luscious hanging bunches of black red elderberries.
Last night the clouds parted just in time to allow a burnished orange, peach and crimson sunset across the north coast that lit up the sky and the sea until you couldn't see where they joined and reminded us that there are still balmy autumn treats to be had.
I have started to crave hot spiced berry juice and have planned for some serious wild fruit harvesting over the next few days to stock up on the winter jam and juice supplies.
Turning to the time between the cherub departure to school and his return, untucked, bedraggled and starving 7 hours later... I am madly planning the details of the new Workshops at Studiofourseven starting on September 20th. There will be leaflets flying through your doors if you are lucky enough to live out in the wild heart of Cornwall with me, look out for them.
If I fail to pop a little flyer through your door - and I apologise if I have missed you out, it is entirely unintentional! - please head over to the Workshops page at the top of this blog for all the juicy cake laden details, or drop into Studiofourseven's facebook page for more info.
'Help My Sewing Machine's an Alien' is kicking off on Sept 20th, at 0930 - (eek that is very close) - so call up and chat about what you would most like help with. Places for each session are limited to 6 and will book on a first come first served basis. If you prefer to - please bring a friend and her machine too, there is plenty of cake to go around.
These Workshops will be a regular vibrant, creative and welcoming space for all you secret stitchers who want a friend to guide you through the vagaries of your machine until you are confident to bring all your fabulous ideas to life. If you have a stash of beautiful fabric that you occasionally bring out, and drool over but need a little inspiration to be able to bring you ideas to life, this is the place for you.
Call me up or email me (details at the bottom of the blog and on the Workshop page) and chat about what you would like to learn and make and do - and don't forget to bring you treasures with you, we can get silly and excited over them together.
This last little piccy is a glimpse of the festive treasures I am already dreaming up, scandinavian red and white, beautiful fabric bunting, mulled wine mug rugs... ooh the list is endless...
Looking forward to making treasures and cake eating with you.
