Christmas projects 2022

Here’s a little round-up of all of my Christmas crafting.

Winter wreaths 2021

I spent a couple of days last week making winter wreaths. It was mild enough for me to work outside, which meant I didn’t need to worry about being a bit messy!

So I worked out why I never completed this kit – one of the coloured threads was missing. Grr. It’s ended up being a very light brown coloured robin.

I enjoyed making this. I don’t do enough embroidery, but when I do, I’m always motivated to do more.

Now that my craft room is pretty much in order, pending the delivery of a new sofa (hopefully this month), I’ve been able to properly sort out all of my craft things stashed in various places around the house. 

Christmas makes 2020

I don’t seem to have done much Christmas crafting this year. Last year I took so much inspiration from the crafters who appeared on Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas and was bursting with ideas for things that I wanted to make. It didn’t have the same effect on me this year and, what with one thing and another, I just don’t feel very festive at the moment.

Five green rings

Ever since I started making wreaths a couple of years ago, I’ve been on the lookout for bits that I can use to decorate them. Earlier in the year, I came across a large branch that had fallen off a willow tree. I’d heard that willow was great to use in wreaths, so I collected some of the fallen strands to make this year’s Christmas wreath bases.
