Anyone else struggle with sleep? I’ve had worsening insomnia for the last 14 months and I’ve tried everything- herbal remedies, acupuncture, nighttime routines, exercise, meditation, alcohol... I challenge you to come up with an idea I haven’t tried! So now it’s self-help books... wish me luck! Any other insomniacs out there? Share your useful tips! This has happened to me post-natally, and while it doesn’t get the same press as PND, I think it’s probably just as debilitating. Thank goodness I’ve had the support of friends and family #mentalhealthawareness #insomnia #postnataldepression #shareyourexperiences #herbalremedies #thesleepbook #anxiety #selfhelp #insomniacure

A few of the willow varieties I’m growing looking sumptuous and glossy in the low winter sun #homegrownwillow #2019harvest #2ndyearcrop #bitmoreorganisedthisyear

A nestle of wet-linen baskets, ready and waiting to go to their new homes. Based on an original recipe taught to me by Adrian Charlton, passed on to him by Terry Bensley. #traditionalcraft #weaving #willow #basketry #manualskills #ancientcraft #traditionalskills #englishbasketry #norfolkbasketcompany #wetlinenbasket #commissions #buffandwhitewillow #somersetwillow #notperfect #practice

A trio of ‘foraging baskets’, made just in time for Christmas. Gently concave on one side to fit against hip. Two for orders and one for stock. Thanks to grandparents for the babysitting! #christmasorders #basketry #sussex #craft #contemporary #leather #foraging #willow #maker #keepingmyhandin

Willow wreaths. Detail shots showing glorious colour variation. I love the simplicity and repetition of making these wreaths. Something special about circles isn’t there? #autumnalcolours #winterwreaths #yule #justateenybitchristmassy #willow #salix #simplecircles #mindfulmaking

Burn, keep or sell? The perennial question. Struggling to find the time to make has led me to the conclusion that this winter I will make just to keep my hand and eye in, bar the odd commission. So here I am using up my first harvest from last year’s planting of the willow bed, and practicing underfoot bottoms- much neglected! #whattodowithawonkybasket #pause #reflection #takingabreak #craft #childcare #babyfirst #practice #workshoptime #tbc2019
