the yorkshire fox the yorkshire fox mixed media clean simple vintage sunday 15 december 2019 tis the season the breeze at dawn has secrets to tell don t go back to sleep rumi hello and how are you the festive season is now in full swing and its seems to have quietly crept up on me the tree has only gone up in the past few days and my beloved door wreath needed some tlc thank goodness for the glue gun and floristry wire i first created this door wreath from scratch way back in 2007 with bits and pieces from my crafty stash and it had adorned the front door every year since i replace the eucalyptus every year with fresh stems and it gives the wreath the most dreamy festive scent i love the magic of christmas and i love these perfectly imperfect little wooden stars the giving and receiving the feeling of hope it s the most wonderful feeling this beautiful wreath with its doves of peace has become a vintage item i cherish and once it is adorning the door i feel the magic begins i hope your heart is filled with joy and hope this season and i wish you all you wish for till next time melxo posted by the yorkshire fox at 08 19 18 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 6 october 2019 selfcare daily y ou can t use up creativity the more you use the more you have maya angelou practicing mindfulness is a key component to our health and wellbeing and creating is one of my favourites ways in which to get this meditative practice into my day i love doodling it draws out the stresses within and forces you to be mindfully present in the moment taking time out for ourselves these days can sometimes feel like a guilty pleasure especially when we seem to have to much to do that said it is important especially as our lives seem to run on over drive to take time for us me time whatever that may be to be present in the moment not thinking of the past or the future but the here and right now these are hydrangea leaves and they have such beautiful colouring also a nice level of thickness to hold the ink open yourself up to the art of slow living the rewards are boundless i hope you will be visually inspired to get your pens out till next time melxo posted by the yorkshire fox at 14 07 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 16 august 2019 friendship tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life mary oliver it s been awhile i know where does the time go that said so much has been happening around here but creativity is never far from my mind i m changing jobs within the nhs and as part of my leaving do i thought it would be nice to give my colleagues a little memento to remember me by those of you who know me well know i have a mild obsession with hearts so i thought homemade hand drawn key rings and heartstone paperweights would be a perfect reflection of me the paper i used is handmade organic khadi paper it s beautifully tactile and comes in many sizes and my favourite go to pen is a fine nib pit pen 0 1 as you can get fine detail without compromise once my image was drawn it was put within the casement and snapped shut i also made the keyring double sided drawing the same image on both sides of the paper aren t they just the cutest ideal for any celebration birthdays party bags baby showers weddings and table decorations etc the list is endless now the heart stones they were easy just a question of several beach trips with an eagle eye at the ready to seek out the heart shaped ones amongst the million others i m also obsessed with these cute gnarly limpet shells once a home to little sea creatures who have outgrown them who s tops have been battered by the ebb and flow of the tide and make perfect accessories to gift tags etc some heart stones are just simply breathtaking like this one with the quartz running through it as anyone knows working in a hospital environment the words keep calm and carry on can pop in your head hourly lovely simple gifts that are organic and tactile repurposinging sea treasures left behind by the tide is a lovely way to carry on their journey simple little gifts that hold heartfelt meaning thank you for dropping by today until next time melxo posted by the yorkshire fox at 21 09 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 21 april 2019 zentangles listen to silence it has so much to say rumi taking time out for ourselves these days can sometimes feel like a guilty pleasure especially when we seem to have to much to do that said it is important especially as our lives seem to run on over drive to take time for us me time whatever that may be to be present in the moment not thinking of the past or the future but the here and right now relax breathe deeply and focus it s all about the journey not the finished piece i love doodling and adding in zentangles they are great for eye hand coordination and are particularly effective for re building motor skills drawing these mosaic like tiles within your design draws out the stress within with the calming intricate strokes practicing mindfulness is a key component to our health and creating is one of my favourites ways in which to get this meditative practice into my day the finished piece framed and ready for shipping off to baby hattie colouring and doodling is not just for kids why should they have all they fun that s my excuse anyway see how you get on its ultimately relaxing melxo posted by the yorkshire fox at 12 37 no comments email this blogthis share

involving ghost netting living by the coast there is always something to pick up on our beach walks and this super bright discarded fishing line was perfect to be upcycled into this gorgeous heart so from this to this in less than half an hour a very therapeutic way to spend your time next time your at the beach see what you can pick up to repurpose you ll be amazed and you ll be saving our oceans marine life and planet at the same time melxo posted by the yorkshire fox at 18 03 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels ghost netting heart monday 11 february 2019 trash to treasure the beauty you see in me is a reflection of you rumi hello me lovelies a little post today to show you what can happen when you pick up flotsam from the beach and take it home i confess that i have never made a bowl or a little trinket bowl or any bowl of sorts for that matter with plastic waste picked up from the sea now it may look like a six year old made it but i m rather chuffed at my first effort which can only get better the more practice i get right so this little bowl started life like this so all these items were first washed and dried then yellow gnarly rope got unravelled then i took a strand of the yellow rope and started coiling it nice and tight then with the blue unravelled rope i took a strand and threaded it through a darning needle and secured the end then just kept on coiling and securing with the needle and thread wonky but adorable right super bright colours certainly add cheer to think this plastic is finding its way into our marine life and slowly killing them is horrific we ve all seen programmes like the blue planet and the rising tide of plastics that litter the world s oceans and beaches this little bowl was the result of a two minute beach clean crap washed in on the tide that is now a cute bright and cheerful ring bowl win win thank you for stopping by till next time mel xo posted by the yorkshire fox at 13
