Autumn proper is here! Sandals swapped for boots, long tops and jeans under my summer linen tunics and I’ve made my first beef stew, dumplings and apple pie of the season!
With the excitement of stocking a huge collection of gorgeous Aurifil embroidery threads, I felt inspired to do a bit of Autumn styling today and pulled out a rich colour palette to work on a wreath pattern I designed a few years ago and have yet to stitch!
Using my new (old) little notions box as inspiration, I styled a few colours with some dahlias and the most beautiful naturally dyed ribbons from Lou (at the Little Red Robin who has very exciting plans afoot).
If you’re interested in the colour palette (maybe save to Pinterest for when you need the inspiration) I’ve added a photo with the colour numbers below.
Tarnished Gold, Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Toast, Caramel and Golden Toast are just a few of the names from the selection. With 16 metres of stranded cotton floss on each spool they have a lovely a matte vintage look to them. Just use in the same way as regular embroidery floss, plying down from six strands to however many you prefer to stitch with. Each spool is about the cost of Pumpkin Spice latte, but sugar-free and with zero calories! Lasts a whole lot longer too :)
Have a good weekend. Thanks, as always, for stopping by.
Love,

PS if you’re looking for a cosy Autumnal TV series to watch, I can really recommend The Chestnut Man, currently on netflix. A Danish crime drama, its default is dubbed English and it’s awful. I definitely recommend changing to Danish with subtitles for a better experience :) I will never look at conkers the same way again!
