Progress on the #brownpaperbagchallenge
(this is how they looked last week)
And another one in progress
I just noticed that I have 1500 followers! How exciting, what a milestone.
Thank you to each and every one of you for being here!
Someone once wrote in the comments that Wild Daffodil is like a Crafts Magazine, and I loved that. One of the greatest joys of blogging is to share inspiration and ideas and give and receive support for all forms of creativity.
But the greatest joy is undoubtedly the sense of community that builds and the meeting of like minds – I really do thank you for every single visit to the blog, every like and especially every second spent taking the time to comment.
I really do value the wonderful friendships made along the way, that enrich my life and my creativity.
Huge hugs are beaming their way across the miles to you.

To mark this milestone, I would be interested to know
1. What you enjoy most about Wild Daffodil?
2. What you would like to hear more about?
As a little Give Away, I will send one of the above pieces of textile art, when finished, to one of you picked at random.
Thank you for being here!

How lovely to know from all the comments that mostly keeping doing what I’m doing is tickety-boo! A few more mandalas and garden info is all that has been requested – thank you Susan – you have encouraged me to contemplate a new mandala. ❤ 🙂

I love the way you think outside the box and just go with the creative flow – it fascinates me how we all start with the same kit but end up with such different pieces.

When all this madness is over we must find a garden to visit together. It would be lovely to meet up again.
I am now encouraged to create another mandala – thank you for that. ❤ 🙂

I’m “new” here, (since the world changed, and we took that leap to look at another comment on some one else’s blog) and then stayed to keep in touch. Last week I surfed around your site and can see you are a “person who never sleeps” – one of the first things that grab my attention is your banner with brightly coloured flowers…they just sing.

Your comment makes me smile – thank you for letting me know you like the banner, I sometimes wonder if I should change it in case readers are fed up with it – you have given it a new lease of life! ❤ 🙂

I have particularly enjoyed your creative textile journey and taking part in the #twinchies . As for what I’d like to see more of its difficult for me to say; as a creative person myself I would find other people’s expectations of blog content a killer of creative joy. I would rather see where your creative journey takes you.

Thank you Tracey.
I know what you mean about ‘expectations killing creative joy’ – that’s why I don’t do commissions, but a nod to what people like can sometimes help me focus – as you can no doubt tell, I am a bit of a grasshopper, jumping off at tangents all the time.
I am happy to share wherever the spark leads me and I’m glad to have you along for the ride.
Thank you for joining in with the Twinchies – I am excited to see what happens next with them.

Thank you Tracy, I am so pleased to know you find inspiration here.
Most of my garden is a complete shambles! So I only tend to show the bits that I think would be of interest. Of course you might like to see the mess?! Maybe I could give a video tour of all the chaotic bits. 🙂

these are so lovely. I like that your skill-set and art / craft is so different from mine – as you’ll experience later this week – I’m about to drop my Twinchies into a post box 🙂 and I Think I’m very happy with the balance of stuff that you share – I have no suggestions to make Thanks for allowing me to join in with the twinchies, it’s been great fun to do something very different. I’ve just scheduled them as my september scraphappy – but let me know if you would prefer I wait, I can save it up for another month. Hugs

If all goes to plan I’ll be about 50 minutes drive N.W. from you which would make a meet up quite doable wouldn’t it and a meet up somewhere in the middle even more so. Maybe I should make sure I bring some of my rusty French keys and massive nails over with me as i know where they’d find a good home.
