Hello! So, after weeks of having Pomegranates drying in my kitchen yesterday they were ready to be attached and made in to my Christmas door wreath for this year. The wreath is actually hanging from what is officially the back door but this is the door that everyone uses when they visit so it makes [...]

It is Monday, the start of a new week, and the week that I begin to slowly, slowly decorate the house for Christmas. Pottering about the place in the evenings putting up lights and sorting out the decorations. We purchased our tree on Saturday and if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter (links below) [...]

Hello! When I asked my Christmas Question a few days ago several of you requested an Advent Calendar How-To. I opted for a pocket advent this year as I like the way they take over an entire wall with something Christmassy. This will go well in the dining room while the Stocking Advent I made [...]

It is certainly time for a project around here. I’ve been waffling on about the snow and the tree and the snow (again) for days. So today I’ve got a craft project that is PERFICK for this time of year. My mittens are the latest addition to the decorations around here and are really simple [...]

Hello, happy Friday everyone! This is a post that I have been saying I will do for a Very. Long. Time. Last Spring I wrote a post on putting together a guest bag for when loved ones come and stay with you. You can find it here. I made the bag myself but never added [...]

My heart takes on different guises. Sometimes it races and rushes. It is busy and excited and loud and vibrant and runs around the house. And then I get worn out and have to sit down with a cup of tea. It’s while I’m calmer that I think of things to make and do. I [...]
