Once upon an autumnal day, I made this wintry mood board with the theme, ‘Nurture’. It encouraged us during our snowy days, including this morning, to stretch, soften, rest, heal, and dream.
By noon, this helpful aid had been dismantled and carefully arranged into my personal scrapbook to be remembered with tenderness.
Each page of cosy slumbering rooms and ladies reminds us to be gentle and hibernate when the air turns cold.
Looking back at this season, I can reconnect to how much we needed rest, rich velvety imagery, candlelight, and soft lush beds to extend hours of sleep upon each night until balance was restored.
Now bare, the lavender linen board awaits the freshness of spring’s greens and first petals. Soft layers of ruffled organic cotton pajamas for cosy family game nights and sunny weekend mornings spill out with newly trimmed edges. First buds, sprouts, and blossoms thrill me. Lambs are a favourite darling theme, here at Rose Cottage.
The main theme for our upcoming spring this year is still ‘Nurture’, but I’m adding in ‘Harmony’. Like a spell, you can add in and design your mood board in any way you like. Sensing it every day, like studying, affects your decisions in a sweet, natural way. We strengthen, grow in new directions, find the sun again, unravel illnesses, and root down for a deeper balance. Fresh air and exercise are at the top of the menu, as we’ve been struggling like bulbs striving for real air under a pile of neighbour air/sound/vibration pollution. We’re seeking out spaces to breathe and grow in strength and beauty. This is something our entire world needs, too: Regrowth of Green Goodness and Clean Air, Scented in Petals and Dancing to Songs of Roaming Brooks, untethered by anything causing harm. It’s time to Live.
These first blooms now accompany me at my desk whilst new books are edited and lessons are enjoyed. Our atelier/homeschool library feels more like the melting snowflakes outside the window, soft and dewy. Soon, green fuzzy leaves will replace the icicles and unfurl exciting adventures with Nature.
I find it comforting to know what we need and to visualize it. I use this process for designing homes, fashion, and everything really. It’s fun, so have a go! Pinterest is a good place to start: save, print, and cut out. I prefer this screen-free way of manifesting my goals. The Law of Attraction, and of energy, is very real. What are you focusing on this season?
Shop Update: I’ll be releasing some sweet baby animal watercolour Art Prints this March. These children’s book illustrations are featured in my Green Witch Tales series, which is a part of the series The Bewitching Tales of Ellary Eden. We love these stories! I hope your little ones do, too!
Until then…

Music of the Moment: Baby’s sweet singing of scales “do re mi…”
