Creative Comforts for Cosy Autumn Days
Now the weather has made a sudden change, and there is a certain nip in the air, our thoughts are turning more to indoor activities … what could be better than a warming cuppa and crafting? There will still be those precious moments to get out with the family to enjoy a bit of much needed outdoor time though! If you are wondering what to do we might have some answers for you …
Nature-Inspired Autumn Crafts
How about using conkers, acorns, leaves, seed pods, or pine cones collected on a walk to make your own seasonal décor or fun items?
Here are a few examples … with thanks to Pinterest

Crafts for Busy Autumn Days
Make sure to take some time out and just chill for a while each day.
Learn some Calligraphy techniques then practice your skills while you grab a cuppa. The slow, gentle techniques needed will help you breathe and get you revitalised to get going with life again.
Maybe you could write few words about what autumn means to you … This is the season to pause, breathe and create.
Join us on 16th September in the morning or the afternoon.
Mindful Autumn Crafting
There are a wealth of wellbeing benefits from slowing down, crafting and enjoying simple pleasures while the days get darker. These help our mental health and ‘self-care’ maintenance. Life seems so busy these days.
Autumn Needle Punching fits the bill for this perfectly. An intriguing yet gently repetitive craft. Come and join us early evening on 14th October, make new friends and enjoy some ‘you’ time.
Autumn Pumkins
Nothing says autumn quite like pumpkins. Beyond their Halloween spookiness, they bring a sense of warmth and comfort into our homes.
Think cosy evenings spent carving, painting, or even crafting fabric pumpkins to sit proudly on your mantelpiece. A simple bowl of mini pumpkins on the table adds instant autumn charm.
If you’d rather skip the carving mess, come and make your very own beautiful felted pumpkin with us on Friday 24th October
Preparing for Winter: Handmade Gifts
Autumn is the perfect time to start crafting small, heartfelt Christmas or seasonal gifts such as tags, cards, embroidered gifts or felted baubles.
We’re making sure we can keep you busy with this too! Keep looking at our website, as we are busy behind the scenes adding more Christmassy workshops!
