Texture, form and colour

Today the family went to visit Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury to see the truely spectacular colours formed by the autumn leaves. 

Here is what we captured.

Colurs and pets

I have enrolled to do a fair isle course online and am just watching the lessons at the moment. So far i have got to the part where you look at colour which is really interesting as it shows you how to look at colour in a different way including imaging the colours in greyscale to show which colours work very closely together and which contrast well.

So today i photographed my pets and took some when out on a dog walk.

Fingerless mitt's

I purchased a pack from my trip to Wonderwool back in April which consisted of one ball of dock yarn and a basic pattern to make a garter stitch fingerless mitt.

Perfect project to be portable so I took on a trip to Wales and finished it just recently. However I wasn't 100% happy with it so decided to added the thumb and now loving the new mitt.

Autumn top

It has taken me three months and four lots of "frogging" but finally I have completed my top.

What do you think?

Malvern Autumn Show

For those that follow me will notice I have not posted for a while. This is for no other reason than have not had much to share, however today I took myself off to my nearby show ground for an amazing day out.

I didn't even see half the show as there is such a diverse variety of exhibitors to see from food, floral show, dog show, a massive wide variety of crafts to name but a few.

I had the pleasure of chatting to the following people who I promised I would mention in my blog.

Siobhan Jones who designs the most beautiful glaswork, her image is the row of washing made out of glass.











Muddle House Mosaics who's work is the mosaic sheep head which I adhoured.















Lastly Kevlin Willsher who informed me all about the benefits of joining Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust which I duely did.











Meadow in my Garden is a brilliant idea, I purchased a box of lovely seeds that cover 30 mtrs squared and is both annual and perennial so the front border will look amazing over the next few year.









So here is my photo diary of the day.
