Another great mending circle courtesy of @bristoltextilequarter. I absolutely love this gathering of women. Amazing making and mending going on. We also had a clothes swap as it is @fash_rev week. I gave some stuff and came away with a top I will need to adjust but will be a keeper I’m sure 👌🏻. Lots of good chat, so much so that I got a bit sloppy with my train times and missed the train! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 50 minutes waiting at the train station is not a problem though with a bag full of things to make so I actually made good progress on my #visiblemending at the station and on the train. Family found it funny, me creeping in at midnight! Tired today! Thanks @bristoltextilequarter so much. #makedoandmend #mendingmatters #mending #mendingcircle

Today at A Nest of Gentle Makers HQ we held a little sewing bee. I was bossing it on the Heavy Duty sewing machine and the overlocker whilst my friend @spire.crafts and my mum @annelockley_ were the workers in the kitchen. Top work ladies ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #sewing #sewingbee #makersgonnamake #makers #anestofgentlemakers #anestofgentlemakersretreats

This dog is nothing to do with knitting or weaving or sewing or retreats but she makes me so happy that I couldn’t resist sharing another picture! #dogsofinstagram #cockerspaniel #cockerspanielpuppy #goldencockerspaniel #dogsarewonderful

A clever little dam making for a tiny waterfall and the gorgeous sound of rushing water #morningwalk #bramshawwood #newforest #walking #slowwalking #mindfulwalking #shirinyoku

Glorious afternoon spent at @newforestodc with @eloiserenouf and @gingertonicyoga planning the first ever @anestofgentlemakers retreat! I am so grateful for a wonderful total of 50 years of friendship with Eloise and Kate. Such amazing women and I am glad to have them in my life. I can learn so much from both of them. Eloise and Kate had not met each other before yesterday but the venue and the Forest worked their wonders and by the end of the afternoon there was much laughter and mutual understanding and respect. Oh yes and and great to watch our yogi Kate climbing a tree to try to retrieve a rugby ball. Can’t wait for May although I’ve got quite a lot to do in the meantime! #afternoonwalk #forest #newforest #acresdown #friendship #yogi #creative #anestofgentlemakersretreats #anestofgentlemakers

Some mornings I think “okay, today will be a short, business like walk, I’ve got to get back, things to do.” And then the forest pulls me in, with birdsong and water and leaves and sun and the walk gets longer and we stop and play and I feel much better about everything. #morningwalk #restore #newforest #bramshawwood #forest
