A Cabin in the Woods & Other Inspirations

So, I've been thinking for a while about how I would love to go to Canada and live in a log cabin in the forest. A bear proof log cabin. Maybe with a gun. But then I figured I would really miss my family so decided that (frequent) a holiday('s) might be sufficient. But then I checked my bank balance (the dread) and came to the conclusion that a holiday to Canada would not be happening any time soon.
Looks pretty good, hey? I would have a little wooden fishing boat and wear a lot of plaid. 
These are some mountains in Banff I could ski down. But no matter how I present the idea of a trip to Canada to the Husband, we still can't afford to go. Yet. Cue another brainwave please...



Scotland.

It's a jolly sight closer. And cheaper! After spending a morning comparing images of Canada and Scotland I don't think you can really tell the difference, much. I have been to Scotland before and loved it but I still hadn't appreciated the beauty it really does have on offer. I am still planning on a Canadian holiday in a few years but I am totally ok with a Scottish substitute for now!


My tree quilt was stitched with a Canadian forest in mind. I find forests so inspiring, the range in height and colours of the trees and the trickling streams leading to massive huge lakes. I am planning some more projects of a forest theme.


What and where inspires you most? Would you be happy with a Scottish substitute?
