abundance in the orchard

 

abundance-in-the-orchard2-300x273

Such an abundant harvest from the orchard!!!

This is a quick happy snap of these wonderful fruits, nuts and eggs I gathred from the orchard this morning. All the trees have been planted within the past 5 years and produce more than our family can eat, so I always have surplus to share. Some of the fruits and nuts I harvested this morning include oranges, mandarins, lemons, tangelos, black mulberry, red shahoot mulberry, tomatoes, tangelos, strawberries, pecan nuts, macadamia nuts, loquats, bananas, avocadoes and my first jaboticabas.

About the Author:
I am a Journeywoman. I live my life as an explorer. An adventurer. An Observer. An Artist. There is no differentiation between how I live my life and the art that is an expression of it. It is through my experience adventuring the unknown, that I learn more about myself. My aim through this connection is to live where my expression is fully in alignment with the essence of who I am. “In the field of Fine-Art Photography, Julie stands apart from others with the way she sees the world and expresses her connection within it. Julie Stephenson’s photographs are sublime. Her work is an expression of her deep connection; and a gift to the world.”

  • I’ve been invited by the @tribe_yarns_book_club to give an online presentation on my adventurous life on Thursday September 18th 8pm BST .  The book club is supporting Milli from @tribeyarnslife on her Solo row across the Atlantic @justonemorerow.atlantic in the @worlds.toughest.row ; and the theme of the book club is adventurous women. I am most certain I’m not in the same league as those who row across oceans; but I do have a very rich life filled with incredible experiences. I’d love to share. I am definitely not the poster girl for the “You can do anything if you set your mind to it” motto; because I’m so spontaneous. I’ve never really had those ambitious goals that are so often advised to be written about and meditated upon to manifest;  and often things don’t go to my very sketchy plans anyway. I’ve learned over the years to be a lot more chill about the obstacles I am faced with, and I just navigate the best way I can along the new unseen path.  This months read is “Peking to Paris: Life and Love on a Short Drive Around Half The World” by Dina Bennett, and Max and I have also participated in this car rally. So if you, or you know anyone who would like to hear about my version of how the Peking to Paris Challenge @heroerarally went for me and us; and how I live boldly @idoamazingthings by packing my life with incredible journeys and adventures; (whilst managing to stay married for 43 years during the process); love for you to join me for the book club online meet. Bring your questions! Looking forward to seeing you then. All the deets @tribe_yarns_book_club Wearing Samen shawl, Cables please shawl by @westknits .

  • African skies; memories woven into my handmade blankets. This beautiful blanket is one of a series; inspired by our journeys in #Tanzania last year.  This adventure with our family was particularly important for me, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage with my balance issues since my brain malfunctioned in 2023. Our boys reassured me they would help if I needed help walking; or assistance getting up if I face-planted; so with my family’s support and encouragement, I decided to just go for it and I was journeying again!!!! @idoamazingthings Weaving these blankets is an expression of how grateful I am for my family and how amazing they were helping me; and how with their support, and through taking a leap of faith and being resilient, I DID actually manage and have the most wonderful experiences. The landscape was breathtaking. Seeing the animals in their habitats was humbling. This trip to Africa was significant for me. Love to know in the comments below, what journeys you’ve had that when you look upon them in hindsight, were also significant to you. DM if you are interested in purchasing any of my handwoven blankets. No plastics used in my blankets.  Yarns used; @lichenandlace Rustic Heather Sport from @tribeyarnslife @treliz_colorispower Zeus 100% Merino @labienaimee - Twist Nouveau 100% merino @qingfibre HighTwist BFL from @stephen.and.penelope @spincycleyarns Metamorphic @theurbanpurl Lux Hi Twist Sock from @stephenandpenelope @oystersandpurls 50%BFL/50% Gotland @skeinqueen 4 Ply Fingering @tintica.yarns 100% Spanish Merino Sport @litlg 100% merino singles from @skeinsisters @hedgehogfibres from @skeinsisters #handweaving #handcrafted #uniquegiftideas #handwovenblanket #heirloomquality #keepsake #timelessgifts #travelafrica #safari #artisanmade
  • Memories of an incredible journey to Africa with my family are woven into this blanket. I’ve used only beautiful pure wool yarns. Have you made or created something from memories of an experience or location? Please ask any questions you have about my weaving. #handweaving #handmade #weaving #weavingart #weavingartist #imadethat #africa #sunsetcolors #itsbeenawhile #handwovenblanket #tanzaniasafari #handdyedyarn
  • My beautiful studio space. Ready to warp a new #handwovenblanket . I #weave my stories from my experiences into each one.
  • Ever not knitted a pattern because you thought that it may not suit your shaped body? I raised my hand to that one so many times in the past… but not any more! I loved the #halibutsweater by @boylandknitworks but I knew it needed some mods to fit my shape better, but I didn't know where to start. Enter Milli from @tribeyarnslife who ran a KAL to guide us through adapting the yoke to fit our shape. Yay! AND … learn how to do #intarsia so that the motifs can be knitted using ANY colour instead of the usual stranded colourwork which requires the same colour to be used around the round. Just BRILLIANT! This opened up a whole new way of thinking about using colour for motifs, whilst also having a lighter resultant fabric because the stranding only goes across the motifs and is not carried across between each motif. What a revelation! I also had a play with trying to knit some text… as you can see on the back of my jumper. Just for fun! My ‘fishy jumper’ has become my daily companion on our road trip @idoamazingthings . I am so happy that Caitlin Hunter has designed such a fabulous knit. I’m also so very grateful for Milli through the #kalibut to guide us through how to make modifications on the yoke so that the jumper fits me perfectly, and opened up a new way of looking at the colour of motifs in my knitting. Now I can use what I’ve learned for ANY jumper. Thank you Milli. I’ve used the most gorgeous @uistwool yarn and @artyarns purchased from @tribeyarnslife Anyone else have a jumper that they found they just loved to wear?
  • Not the planned journey we had imagined! Regardless of the 12 week delay in the arrival of Penny, our 102year old car we love to tour in; we made our alternate journey fun and filled with fabulous experiences and stories! #roadtripping #vintagecar #irelandtravel #northernireland #ballycastle #giantscauseway
  • #imback #badass #itsbeenawhile Where have I been?? DM to say hi.
  • My life is wonderful… and I have so many stories. I’ve had adventures on all continents. Slept being rocked by the sea; felt the ice on my skin in both polar regions, and felt the silence of the deserts. I’ve walked stone steps in monasteries at altitudes where each step I’ve taken consciously and mindfully; focussing on treasuring every molecule of oxygen in the rarefied atmosphere. COVID has paused those adventures, but I draw upon my experiences as I navigate adventuring my days in a different way, on our ‘home range’. I recall my steps in Tibet as I walk through our bushland. I am mindful and conscious of my surroundings. I listen. I feel. I feel happy here. I am content. My new stories may not hold the same experiences of connection with others; and may not be of extreme challenges or crazy things  (which I am rather prone to doing! :-) ) but they are not less wondrous… as I smell the warm eucalyptus waft from under my feet. I weave my stories, and this story is of my personal journey on my daily walk through our bushland. You can see some of my other woven stories on my website - link in profile. How do you express your life’s stories? . - . - #weaversofinstagram #indiedyedyarn #indiedyed #rigidheddleloomweaving #ashford #inspiredbynature #contentcreator #emotionalbalance #homedeco #handcrafted #makersmovement #creativelifehappylife #wellbeing #travellerlife #journeywoman #weavingaustralia

Ever not knitted a pattern because you thought that it may not suit your shaped body? I raised my hand to that one so many times in the past… but not any more! I loved the #halibutsweater by @boylandknitworks but I knew it needed some mods to fit my shape better, but I didn't know where to start. Enter Milli from @tribeyarnslife who ran a KAL to guide us through adapting the yoke to fit our shape. Yay! AND … learn how to do #intarsia so that the motifs can be knitted using ANY colour instead of the usual stranded colourwork which requires the same colour to be used around the round. Just BRILLIANT! This opened up a whole new way of thinking about using colour for motifs, whilst also having a lighter resultant fabric because the stranding only goes across the motifs and is not carried across between each motif. What a revelation! I also had a play with trying to knit some text… as you can see on the back of my jumper. Just for fun! My ‘fishy jumper’ has become my daily companion on our road trip @idoamazingthings . I am so happy that Caitlin Hunter has designed such a fabulous knit. I’m also so very grateful for Milli through the #kalibut to guide us through how to make modifications on the yoke so that the jumper fits me perfectly, and opened up a new way of looking at the colour of motifs in my knitting. Now I can use what I’ve learned for ANY jumper. Thank you Milli. I’ve used the most gorgeous @uistwool yarn and @artyarns purchased from @tribeyarnslife Anyone else have a jumper that they found they just loved to wear?

What a revelation! I also had a play with trying to knit some text… as you can see on the back of my jumper. Just for fun! My ‘fishy jumper’ has become my daily companion on our road trip @idoamazingthings . I am so happy that Caitlin Hunter has designed such a fabulous knit. I’m also so very grateful for Milli through the #kalibut to guide us through how to make modifications on the yoke so that the jumper fits me perfectly, and opened up a new way of looking at the colour of motifs in my knitting.

My life is wonderful… and I have so many stories. I’ve had adventures on all continents. Slept being rocked by the sea; felt the ice on my skin in both polar regions, and felt the silence of the deserts. I’ve walked stone steps in monasteries at altitudes where each step I’ve taken consciously and mindfully; focussing on treasuring every molecule of oxygen in the rarefied atmosphere. COVID has paused those adventures, but I draw upon my experiences as I navigate adventuring my days in a different way, on our ‘home range’. I recall my steps in Tibet as I walk through our bushland. I am mindful and conscious of my surroundings. I listen. I feel. I feel happy here. I am content. My new stories may not hold the same experiences of connection with others; and may not be of extreme challenges or crazy things  (which I am rather prone to doing! 🙂 ) but they are not less wondrous… as I smell the warm eucalyptus waft from under my feet. I weave my stories, and this story is of my personal journey on my daily walk through our bushland. You can see some of my other woven stories on my website - link in profile. How do you express your life’s stories? . - . - #weaversofinstagram #indiedyedyarn #indiedyed #rigidheddleloomweaving #ashford #inspiredbynature #contentcreator #emotionalbalance #homedeco #handcrafted #makersmovement #creativelifehappylife #wellbeing #travellerlife #journeywoman #weavingaustralia

  • I’ve been invited by the @tribe_yarns_book_club to give an online presentation on my adventurous life on Thursday September 18th 8pm BST .  The book club is supporting Milli from @tribeyarnslife on her Solo row across the Atlantic @justonemorerow.atlantic in the @worlds.toughest.row ; and the theme of the book club is adventurous women. I am most certain I’m not in the same league as those who row across oceans; but I do have a very rich life filled with incredible experiences. I’d love to share. I am definitely not the poster girl for the “You can do anything if you set your mind to it” motto; because I’m so spontaneous. I’ve never really had those ambitious goals that are so often advised to be written about and meditated upon to manifest;  and often things don’t go to my very sketchy plans anyway. I’ve learned over the years to be a lot more chill about the obstacles I am faced with, and I just navigate the best way I can along the new unseen path.  This months read is “Peking to Paris: Life and Love on a Short Drive Around Half The World” by Dina Bennett, and Max and I have also participated in this car rally. So if you, or you know anyone who would like to hear about my version of how the Peking to Paris Challenge @heroerarally went for me and us; and how I live boldly @idoamazingthings by packing my life with incredible journeys and adventures; (whilst managing to stay married for 43 years during the process); love for you to join me for the book club online meet. Bring your questions! Looking forward to seeing you then. All the deets @tribe_yarns_book_club Wearing Samen shawl, Cables please shawl by @westknits .

  • African skies; memories woven into my handmade blankets. This beautiful blanket is one of a series; inspired by our journeys in #Tanzania last year.  This adventure with our family was particularly important for me, because I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage with my balance issues since my brain malfunctioned in 2023. Our boys reassured me they would help if I needed help walking; or assistance getting up if I face-planted; so with my family’s support and encouragement, I decided to just go for it and I was journeying again!!!! @idoamazingthings Weaving these blankets is an expression of how grateful I am for my family and how amazing they were helping me; and how with their support, and through taking a leap of faith and being resilient, I DID actually manage and have the most wonderful experiences. The landscape was breathtaking. Seeing the animals in their habitats was humbling. This trip to Africa was significant for me. Love to know in the comments below, what journeys you’ve had that when you look upon them in hindsight, were also significant to you.

Ever not knitted a pattern because you thought that it may not suit your shaped body? I raised my hand to that one so many times in the past… but not any more! I loved the #halibutsweater by @boylandknitworks but I knew it needed some mods to fit my shape better, but I didn't know where to start. Enter Milli from @tribeyarnslife who ran a KAL to guide us through adapting the yoke to fit our shape. Yay! AND … learn how to do #intarsia so that the motifs can be knitted using ANY colour instead of the usual stranded colourwork which requires the same colour to be used around the round. Just BRILLIANT! This opened up a whole new way of thinking about using colour for motifs, whilst also having a lighter resultant fabric because the stranding only goes across the motifs and is not carried across between each motif. What a revelation! I also had a play with trying to knit some text… as you can see on the back of my jumper. Just for fun! My ‘fishy jumper’ has become my daily companion on our road trip @idoamazingthings . I am so happy that Caitlin Hunter has designed such a fabulous knit. I’m also so very grateful for Milli through the #kalibut to guide us through how to make modifications on the yoke so that the jumper fits me perfectly, and opened up a new way of looking at the colour of motifs in my knitting. Now I can use what I’ve learned for ANY jumper. Thank you Milli. I’ve used the most gorgeous @uistwool yarn and @artyarns purchased from @tribeyarnslife Anyone else have a jumper that they found they just loved to wear?

I loved the #halibutsweater by @boylandknitworks but I knew it needed some mods to fit my shape better, but I didn't know where to start. Enter Milli from @tribeyarnslife who ran a KAL to guide us through adapting the yoke to fit our shape. Yay! AND … learn how to do #intarsia so that the motifs can be knitted using ANY colour instead of the usual stranded colourwork which requires the same colour to be used around the round. Just BRILLIANT! This opened up a whole new way of thinking about using colour for motifs, whilst also having a lighter resultant fabric because the stranding only goes across the motifs and is not carried across between each motif. What a revelation! I also had a play with trying to knit some text… as you can see on the back of my jumper. Just for fun! My ‘fishy jumper’ has become my daily companion on our road trip @idoamazingthings . I am so happy that Caitlin Hunter has designed such a fabulous knit. I’m also so very grateful for Milli through the #kalibut to guide us through how to make modifications on the yoke so that the jumper fits me perfectly, and opened up a new way of looking at the colour of motifs in my knitting. Now I can use what I’ve learned for ANY jumper. Thank you Milli.

Not the planned journey we had imagined! Regardless of the 12 week delay in the arrival of Penny, our 102year old car we love to tour in; we made our alternate journey fun and filled with fabulous experiences and stories! #roadtripping #vintagecar #irelandtravel #northernireland #ballycastle #giantscauseway

My life is wonderful… and I have so many stories. I’ve had adventures on all continents. Slept being rocked by the sea; felt the ice on my skin in both polar regions, and felt the silence of the deserts. I’ve walked stone steps in monasteries at altitudes where each step I’ve taken consciously and mindfully; focussing on treasuring every molecule of oxygen in the rarefied atmosphere. COVID has paused those adventures, but I draw upon my experiences as I navigate adventuring my days in a different way, on our ‘home range’. I recall my steps in Tibet as I walk through our bushland. I am mindful and conscious of my surroundings. I listen. I feel. I feel happy here. I am content. My new stories may not hold the same experiences of connection with others; and may not be of extreme challenges or crazy things  (which I am rather prone to doing! 🙂 ) but they are not less wondrous… as I smell the warm eucalyptus waft from under my feet. I weave my stories, and this story is of my personal journey on my daily walk through our bushland. You can see some of my other woven stories on my website - link in profile. How do you express your life’s stories? . - . - #weaversofinstagram #indiedyedyarn #indiedyed #rigidheddleloomweaving #ashford #inspiredbynature #contentcreator #emotionalbalance #homedeco #handcrafted #makersmovement #creativelifehappylife #wellbeing #travellerlife #journeywoman #weavingaustralia
