Despite the widespread exclamations about the speed at which each year goes, it seems that time is determined to still march on at what seems to be an ever-increasing pace. Here we are in October, and what I very much view as the ending of the year. As we roll into these final months I find they all seem to run together, as people begin to talk more about their end-of-year plans.
It's Here & Now time again and it's a great way to pause and think about the present. Will you be joining in this month?
Eating // Homegrown greens from the garden, a little in each meal most nights. They include bok choy, kale, mustard, lettuce, radish, perpetual spinach, comfrey and then herbs such as rosemary, thyme, parsley & basil. It's nice to be harvesting even a small amount from the garden once again.
Drinking // Less tea as the days warm
Feeling // Slightly baffled by the time whenever I glance at a clock with daylight saving having recommenced on the weekend. I'm sure I'll adjust soon!
Making // Lots of things all at once. I'm working on two patterns, my cowl using my handspun, a summer top in Beetroot using a pattern from this book and a pair of fair isle socks.
Thinking // About how the last months of the year all seem to run together, as I look at my calendar and diary. My final workshop for the year is coming up at the end of next month, then after that, I'm co-hosting a Crafternoon Tea Party, then I'm done for events for the year! It's been a wonderful year of running workshops for the first time.
Dreaming // Of a trip to a lovely garden this coming weekend

Your garden looks great Sarah, and hasn't the rain been great - although ours has included giant hailstones and lightning! I like the lok of your Crafternoon Tea Party, and actually calculated if I could drive down and back in one day, but I think it's a wee bit far. I'm sure it'll be lots of fun and a great success.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so lovely if you came! Maybe a weekend away in Bellingen :-)
DeleteThank you Nanette! The rain has bene absolutely wonderful, although I'm so enjoying the sunshine we've had yesterday and today. The grass has gone crazy!!
DeleteI'd love to see you at Crafternoon xx
The garden looks lovely Sarah and I am so excited to be hosting the crafternoon tea party with you!!!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait either x
DeleteI love seeing bees foraging in clover, Sarah. So often, it's viewed as a weed but the bees don't think so, it's a good food source for them. Meg:)
ReplyDeleteThey absolutely LOVE the clover! Unfortunately I worked through a patch the other day without paying attention and stood on a bee, it was very painful!
Deleteoh I always mean to join in this thread and somehow I forget! Thanks for the link list and chance to connect.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking so lovely, and your dog! LOL. What a cutie.

Thank you Emma! So happy you joined in x
DeleteYour bee pics are lovely, Sarah. How nice to be eating from your own garden - such a different taste from store bought. Enjoy the crafternoon tea party!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Meredithe! Salads are so much more interesting when there's a garden to pick things from, it's really nice to have a variety of leaves and things to add x
DeleteIt's so lovely catching up with your Here & Now, Sarah. The garden is looking lush - I wish we could have sent you some of our rain over the past few months for your tank - and I'm so jealous of all the yumminess you are eating from the garden. And hooray for the new aspect of your business doing so well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura! The rain has been absolutely lovely, it's sent the grass and garden a bit crazy, too! x
