The First week of December

Happy December everyone! As usual this month is a bit hectic with jewellery orders and getting our home all ready for xmas too. I have been collecting some greenery and berries whilst out on dog walks, and I tried my best to make a 'circular' wreath. It's a bit wonky. I really love these little cardboard trees and house that my son made out of a delivery box. Think I'll keep them forever.

This year is the first xmas with a mantlepiece in our flat! I made it and installed some panelling and pegs too, which are just right for hanging our stockings (yes, I fill my own stocking, what of it?) The dog gets one too of course.

That baby tree is from last year and it survived a whole summer of not being watered. That's my kind of tree.

I'm trying out some led candles too, because there was so much black soot on the walls I had to repaint already. I prefer flames though so we'll see.

The kid's job is to decorate the tree...I love these owls tucked in amongst the branches...

I have washed the sofa covers and they're still not dry, hence various blankets ands rugs instead. Everything non xmassy get relegated to the top of the cabinet.

We even had some snow last month! A very rare occurrence here in the Isle of Wight. It lasted 45 minutes then melted.

I will be taking jewellery orders until the 17th December (as it takes me a few days to make each order) so there is still time if you are considering purchasing. Some things will take too long to make for xmas, but most things are still available. Message me if in any questions!

Only Through Shadows

I hope you are all keeping warm and safe out there during this storm...
