Woodcraft Nests
These little nests are a lovely project for older children (and big kid adults!) They’re lovely for testing out basic wood skills and picking the perfect fibres to weave helps children learn more about the natural world.
DIY Plant Pots
These nifty little pots are perfect for starting seeds off. This method uses a glass jar and a little rock, things you’ll find around the home, even better right?!
Making a Flower Press
Here’s a little nudge to get something more than a heavy book into your house to press your flowers before all the spring and summer flowers come out to play.
Hawthorn Needles
My husband and I were out for a walk recently when turned to me and said, “could you help me find some long Hawthorn needles” to which I said, “erm, ok? Why?”
French Knitting
French knitting (or spool knitting) is a skill you can put down and pick up again a few weeks later and easily know where you left off.
Campfire Bannocks
Cheeky little bannocks cooked over the fire, on a stick or in a pan. Either way is deliciously moreish!
The Best Hot Chocolate Ever
This is the best recipe we’ve used for hot chocolate. Its a cupboard favourite for those cold days after a long walk outside. Enjoy with all your favourite toppings.
Homemade Seed Packets
A simple way to show off those special seeds you’ve saved from your garden.
As Kith heads into it’s next year we’re realising that more and more we’re learning at an incredible speed, building on the years of knowledge we now have. Behind the scenes there’s so much which goes on, we don’t tell many folks about it as it feels like the norm for us, but actually there’s so much for us to pass on to you too.
The day to day maintenance of a space like Kith is pretty epic, we’re constantly looking ahead to the seasons to come. Much of the preparation for spring happens in the autumn/winter before, for the garden, the larger space and even for structures like the Wander Yurt. Each season brings its own challenges but we’re blessed with being able to settle into the rhythms of the year like our ancestors did in this county. Enjoying seasonal crafts, recipes, stories and feeling the creative pull of each season.
At Home With Kith will bring you in to learn more about what we’re doing each week/month/season. We’ll share notes from us as we work, recipes we’re enjoying, crafts, musings from the garden and words from the community. Inspiration, ideas and things for you to try at home.
