Creativity, Slowing Down, Enjoying Mindful Media in a Fast Paced World

[@shirleymatlock]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video - I agree totally about the over consumption we all tend to suffer from these days - I never watch 'unboxings' or fabric stash trawls. Quite a few You Tubers I follow have backed off for a while or slowed down and reflected on what they're doing. My wardrobe is mainly altered/modified charity shop clothes and I've gleaned lots of tips from your makes. Abbeydale Road is one of my favourite shopping locations - as is Spring Gardens Buxton - I've been known to spend up to £20 in one charity shop spree! 😊

Hi Shirley, it is lovely when you can alter something from a charity shop because you know you are saving it but still making it new to you. I love Buxton too. ☺

Hi Dianne, totally agree with your sentiment , I watch your videos and Little wonderful life. I bought the book Blackberry and wild rose and have set aside and hour before our evening meal to read it and I am benefiting for that down time and enjoying the book. Thanks for the book review will see if I can get that second hand. Have a good week Dianne Susan 🌼🌺🌻

Hi Susan. I hope you enjoy the book I loved it. It is good to take time away from our screens to balance things up.☺

Hello from Australia just finished reading Blackberry and Wild Rose really enjoyed it not something I would have picked up. I agree with everything you said today. My husband commented the other day where do these women wear all those clothes. Can't be going anywhere to busy sewing. Kaye

Hi Kaye, so glad you enjoyed the book. yes I know what you mean, much as I love to sew I do like to do other things when I am done working for the day. ☺

Dianne, I loved your video (I always do) and totally agree with your comments and sentiments. I sometimes think that sewing has become a bit of an obsession the way that everything is so quickly made. I’m slow! I haven’t read The Offing, but have listened to a reading on Radio 4 Extra. I loved it and got completely lost in it. I wonder if you have a suggestion for an a line skirt pattern for a tartan wool fabric please. Keep doing your videos. Love them.

Hi there Angela. Thank you, in regards to the skirt New look 6035 has a nice easy A line skirt in the pattern that I have made before, but you also get the blazer, top and trousers. I have made the blazer and top also all really nice. I didn't know they read books on radio 4 I will look into that. Have a good week.
