Earlier I'd prepared two posts, but then we went on a walk and now I think these #autumn photos are way better for happiness 🤍🍂🏔️

#SewAndTell Scary... Well, altering this very expensive dress comes to mind. I was asked to shorten the hem and add loops, so it can be worn as a long, short, or high-low dress.

So I cleared my table... took away all distractions... and started. Mindfulness indeed 😅

This autumn, please consider leaving dead plants in your garden rather than 'tidying' them up. Over the winter they will provide sheltered spots for hibernating ladybirds and lots of other creatures 🐞

Thank you 🙂

Adriana Horstman @ingadriana.ro · 21d

Do it :) They are easy to knit and you can play with colours and patterns as you like 🙂

I knitted these handwarmers to care for others. For people I love, who don't need gifts, who sit a lot and have cold hands.
Joyful to know they feel a bit more comfortable 🤍
