    Felt Mug Cosy Tutorial Mug cosies are great. They keep your tea warm for longer when you’re out in the garden. They’re a good way of using up bits of fabric left over from other projects and they’re quick to make. Also they make nice gifts for people….

    Year of Bunting Pincushion Tutorial With Mini Bunting I’ve got a thing about pincushions. It’s partly because I associate them with a simpler time, when milk lived in jugs with beaded crocheted covers and everybody ate boiled eggs, toast and cake for tea. It’s also because when it…

I went out for a walk in the snow, and I was struc I went out for a walk in the snow, and I was struck by how the winter sunlight made the trees look coppery, and how lovely the copperiness was against the blue sky. 

I do think noticing is enough. It's not always necessary to make or do something, especially if it feels more like proving that you saw it rather than wanting to.

There are some ideas cooking away in my head for things I might do, and having some ideas of colours already could be useful. So I made a colour scheme from the photo I took 🪾💙❄️

I invented a thing: Welly flowers! I went for two I invented a thing: Welly flowers!

I went for two lovely walks today round my snowy village 💖❄️

I love the colours in the last photo. It's so easy to think of winter of nothing but grey and monochrome, but today was beautiful. I noticed coppery trees in the sunlight, against a pale blue sky 🪾❄️💖

Being out in nature always feels precious. It does Being out in nature always feels precious. It doesn't matter very much what time of year it is, or what the weather is doing.

Today I wanted to get outside while it was still light. Yesterday it was after 3pm and it was already gloomy!

Today is lovely and bright, even though everywhere is damp and muddy after all the rain.

De influencing your Christmas. You're welcome 🤣 De influencing your Christmas. You're welcome 🤣🥳🤪

We got the tree from the same place we always do. It's a bit too big for the space. My youngest boy suggested measuring the space then measuring the trees before choosing one, but nobody remembered when we went to get the tree 🌲 

I love all our decorations that hold so many memories but it looks nothing like the aesthetic, perfectly decorated trees that I have mostly seen on here. Actually, it looks a bit less of a mess than it has in the past. That could be because my helper is now taller and doesn't try to shove the decorations all on the same branches.

The telly is on in the first picture. We were watching something with James May and his buddies making things in his giant shed, except kids with phones who were not.

My youngest wanted to check how much space there was under the tree. Thankfully he didn't knock it over!

The cat thinks she is a Christmas decoration.

Aaaaannd... The last 2 pictures show how much mess was made getting the tree in .

Merry Christmas! 🎄🔔💕
