    The other day I wanted to crochet but I also needed to make some earrings. So it got me thinking: would it be possible to mash the two things together and crochet some earrings? Preferably earrings that are neither enormous or woolly looking. I had a go at…

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 πŸ’–β„οΈ

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 πŸͺΎβ„οΈπŸ’–

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.

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! πŸŽ„πŸ””πŸ’•

I went out looking for red, but what I noticed was I went out looking for red, but what I noticed was green!

The theme of December's Wild Blossom Companion is red, so I thought I might look for red things. There are plenty, berries, post boxes, horses (and humans) wearing red coats. But what caught my eye were the greens.

πŸ’š A green fence 
πŸ’š Green patches on the bark of a tree
πŸ’š Some green leaves still
πŸ’š One of many colours on an oak leaf

It's as though now the leaves are mostly gone, other greens are easier to spot. When we have a good look, what we see is not always what we expect πŸ’šβ€οΈ
