Hello, and welcome to The Hummingbird Nest. I’m Kathy Barlow, your hostess, writing from near the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, where the larches have turned the high slopes gold and the mornings have a bite to them.

The Hummingbird Nest is a virtual retreat center for women in midlife, and everything I make here comes back to what I value most: calm, creativity, and connection.

Over the past 35 years, I’ve gathered women in kitchens and by the seaside, in the middle of the forest, and in cafes almost too relaxing to leave. Now we gather in a barn I call my virtual home. So pull up a chair, because October is here, and I’d love to tell you what we’ll be gathering around this month. https://www.thehummingbirdnest.ca/p/october-this-month-at-the-hummingbird

She's finished. My sample, a slow-stitched pumpkin wall hanging, is the creative activity we'll be making at my in-person pop-up retreat in Victoria, BC, on September 26.

Even though I'm providing a sample, each completed piece will be different. I love how each person adds their own special touches to a project like this.

The other thing I love about these gatherings is that they're not only about the creativity. It's an opportunity to slow down, exhale, and connect with other amazing women.

If you're local to Victoria, I'd love for you to join us. For details and to register, here's the link. https://luma.com/emmgivf8

With Autumn less than a handful of weeks away, I’ve been pondering the term inner cozy. 🍂

To me, it’s more than a blanket wrapped around my shoulders as I sit in front of a fireplace. It’s the smell of apple pandowdy drifting out the kitchen window when I arrived home from elementary school. Before I even got to the door, I already felt held.

What’s yours? Not the aesthetic version. The real one. A smell, a sound, a room, a person. What comes to mind first?
