Hello, I'm Lea, I'm a full time home educating mama to Elfie, working from home in a rural creative cottage industry. I'm a textile artist, and love heritage crafts, and history of crafts, and I'm passionate about helping to keep the old skills alive and growing.
Me and Elfie spend lots of time crafting together, we spin yarns & art yarns, weave on rigid heddle looms & tapestry looms (& I'm just setting up new work on a table loom) Elfie also tablet weaves on a backstrap loom. we sew, knit, crochet, paint, print, make jewellery, do pottery, wet felting, & needle felting, & I whittle wood, & have started learning basketry.
I started this channel to share our arts, crafts, vlogs, natural living, and I'm neurodiverse so I also share my videos about autism / aspergers and adhd as an adult female, to hopefully help other autistic people, and raise awareness, acceptance and self esteem.

Another gorgeous relaxing video to watch, thankyou Lea and Alfie for being so inspiring. We've just had winter solstice in New Zealand and it's been very cold, so today was cosy by the fire drinking rose bud tea and doing some needle felting on a dress that I'm renovating on. Thankyou so much again for your lovely vlog xx

Thank you soooo much Lea for your videos, you and Elfin have helped me in my recovery from a very dark place after I fell ill last year. I am in Birmingham, West Midlands, and I am sure from your accent you know it well! You and Elfin are such a breathe of fresh air and beautiful both inside and out, I love everything you do please keep up the videos, they light up every part of me. I love my herbal teas, peppermint and nettle, chamomile, sage and lavender, and basically anything that I can pick out of the pots on my small porch at the apartment. I have just started with my fleece dying and weaving now I am getting stronger, and that is down to your inspiration. So thank you to you and Elfin from the bottom of my heart. 💜💜💜

It's so very lovely to read your message, I really hope you carry on feeling better and better and recover really well. I was born in Stourbridge, very near to Birmingham 🥰 I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. And it's wonderful to hear about your handweaving and wool dying. Thank you for your lovely message! Lots of Love to you, from Lea 🌿🌸💗💗💗

Loved this - thank you. Rainbow cardigan complete, but as my 4-year old granddaughter fell in love with the yarn, I'm now knitting her a little dress in the same yarn. I think I'll be ready for a change after that! Favourite tea at the moment is a mix of mint, lemon balm and bronze fennel, all of which fortunately grow like weeds all over my garden. Looking forward to the next one xx

I'm a spinner, weaver and dyer from Tasmania, Australia. At this very moment I'm unravelling the beginning of a crochet blanket that wasn't looking good, the colours were wrong together. I'm spinning some hand dyed merino on my drop spindle and I just warped up my loom with some handspun that I botanically dyed.

Lovely videos in your beautiful surroundings. While I watch, I love to cross stitch. I wish I was as handy as you with your needle art. Your work is lovely. We live high up in the mountains 🏔️ in the States. During the summer months, which are short here at this elevation, I love to stitch while sitting amongst wildflowers and the mountain terrain drinking iced tea. Which is a southern custom in the States. But a tradition I’ve brought with me up here to the Northern part of the world that we live. May you all have a wonderful, sunny year and happy stitching to you all! Toodles & Tea cups! 🦋🩵💙

Hello from Canada! I am spinning a skein of sunset-coloured Rambouillet fibre as I watch this tea in the wagon. I am currently reading Upstream by Mary Oliver- highly recommend if you like nature writing! Your beautiful weavings have inspired me to get my own rigid heddle loom for my birthday this year. Can't wait to start making my own beautiful creations!

Popping in to say Happy birthday Elfin!!!!! Peggy has her 12th birthday on 8th July! Happy birthing day mama to you too xx

@lezlierussell2834 Месяц назад

I love everything you are making! I live in Western Kentucky and am a spinner and weaver also. I teach rigid heddle weaving at an art college. I just finished a woven piece that I hope to turn into a jacket. Currently I have my loom warped for a shawl. I love most herbal teas and occasionally make my own. Please keep up the videos! I look forward to seeing what you and Elfen are making.

Love your videos so very much I am spinning some Gotland and it's so beautiful I will then weave with it not at your standard though. Drinking some dandelion and chicory coffee. I am Irish but have lived in New Zealand for nearly 30 years. I find your videos bring me peace and joy and will watch them several times. Sending warm crafty hugs your way 😊❤

I really like this video. The only part missing was Elfin. You two Ladies are beautiful inside and out. Your "Craft" is one I'm glad to see is NOT one that is dieing out. I really loved the video where you did the hand dying of your fibers. I cant do much since I'm recovering from a stroke. Some days I'm so nauseated that all I can do is stay in bed. That is where I watch your videos all over again. Thanks Again for such a lovely video !!!!! ❤❤❤❤. P.S. The sounds from your wagon are so peaceful. The combination of the chickens, the chimes, and the water. What's not to LOVE ????

@LeaWildCreative Месяц назад

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🥰 Elfin has been busy both times I recorded tea in the wagon so far, but hopefully she'll be able to join in next time. I'm glad you like the hand dye videos on the fire, I love doing those, and I will be doing some more quite soon. I really hope you recover well and soon, sending lots of Love to you, I'm glad the videos are something that's nice for you to watch while you're resting. That's lovely that the garden and wagon sounds are peaceful 🥰 Thank you so much! 🌿🌼🌸🍃💗💗💗

Wishing you and your family a most magical solstice time. I really am enjoying the privilege of seeing lovely Elfin grow and become a main contributer in the very artful vlogs ~~ you and she are a colossal inspiration to me, a slow-living spinner & weaver in the hills of northern California. Thank you for your wonderful videos!

@Jen-pz6qg Месяц назад

Oh, I forgot to talk about what I'm making. Presently been learning to weave (only in the last year!) and immediately went into ultra fine yarns (like 20/2 cotton) but I'm expecting a delivery of a natural dye kit soon, by Earthhues from Seattle, and will be delving into THAT! That being, the fine cottons, as well as raw fibers yet to be spun. THis Autumn I am planning on trying wild weaving as you have been doing with Elfin, and so going to do more fiber mixes and try that , forthcoming, natural dyed as well as some synthetic dyed, bits & bobs, and make some big shawls and throw blankets on my 48" rigid heddle loom.

@LeaWildCreative Месяц назад

That's so lovely, thank you so much, that's lovely to hear! I will show Elfin your message 🥰💗

I loved this episode. I am originally from Wordsley! I live in Cornwall now, not far from Lands End. I really enjoy the quiet sewing bits at the end, very soothing. Sometimes i sew along and sometimes i replay the end so I can close my eyes and listen to the peace. Well done.

Happy Midsummer’s Day to you and Elfin. Love today’s podcast and seeing what you have been making. Today I have been scouring white cotton fabric, which I will mordant tomorrow. I will be doing some flower printing on it when it is ready. I have just been given some pedigree Portland fleece, which I can’t wait to wash and spin and probably dye with natural dyes. John Lewis Stempel is one of my favourite writers too. The illustrations in your book are done by an artist who lives in a village close to me. I enjoy doing jigsaws which she designs. One of my favourite teas is lemon balm, particularly at this time of year.

@LeaWildCreative Месяц назад

🌞 Happy Solstice to you. Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's lovely to hear about the projects you are working on. That's lovely, I will have a look for the jigsaws 🥰💗

Hi from Debs in the south West of Western Australia. I am so inspired seeing yours and Elfin's fibre crafts. I do most of the fibre crafts but weaving is my latest rabbit hole. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of what l love, fibre arts, special blend tea, me time, sharing and family. Love your videos.

I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog, can I ask what are the various pieces of music? Loved them. Life looks very idyllic where you are. I am currently working on The witching hour shawl by Greenlambkin Yarn. I’m using some yarn I bought in Cornwall 2 weeks ago it’s called Falmouth Bay and it’s by The Camels Yarn.

@linpollock54 Месяц назад

I'm not a quilter but have lots of bits of fabric I've saved over the years just because they were beautiful. I'd like to do the sort of sewing you were doing on this vlog but don't know how. Can you give me some advice? What is slow stitching? I enjoy sewing by hand and make repairs to clothes and I knit, so I'm fairly handy. BTW I've made lots of crocheted fabric strips to make a curtain - inspired by your wagon curtain - and it's nearly ready to go up. Only the beads and extra bits to add. I'm reading 'Cuddy' by Benjamin Myers. It's about St Cuthbert but it's very unusual! Irreverent and funny at times. Thank you for a beautiful evening, Lea. Hugs from Crete!

@LeaWildCreative Месяц назад

Yes I will show you some slow stitching in the next tea in the wagon 🥰 That's lovely, where are you going to put your curtain, and what kinda of colours have you crocheted 😍 Thank you for your message, Love from Lea 💗

@linpollock54 Месяц назад

@@LeaWildCreative I made them from three old sarongs which were a bit worn at the edges. They're in yellow with white patterning and blues with purpley red bits. I'm going to add all the beads I never wear and buttons I've never used! I get such great ideas from watching you and then adapt them to what I want to make and what materials I have. The slow stitching/ hand quilting will be real help to me. Just something basic to start me on the right track. Thank you so much. Lin.
