Happy New Year!

By Annie:

This year we both made a winter wreath - mum's was done in plenty of time and features adorable needle felted robins perched on a ring made from a wet felted rope wrapped with craft wire.  The addition of the yellow wrapped gift hints at a sweet little story between the birdies!

Mum's robins were inspired by some photos I have taken of the robins in my garden that follow me around while I'm weeding, they love all the snacks that turn up in the freshly exposed soil!

My wreath was a bit more last minute and involved a dash around the garden in the rain on Christmas Eve, followed by an enjoyable half hour of poking and wiring all the bits on to an old base that I made out of ivy and long bendy twigs for a previous wreath.  This wreath has various odds and ends of greenery, berries, moss, lichen, some crab apples and some quince for a splash of colour!

Happy New Year! Wishing you a happy, healthy and creative 2024 :) x
