I love handmade gifts, and I really appreciate all the thought and time that goes into them.
This year my wonderful daughter repurposed some old whisky casks, and made me this gorgeous wee shelf. I’m in love with her needle felt mouse, he’s so cute, he literally melts my heart. 🥰🐭 A very grateful Mum … 🎄🙏 Anyway, we’re all enjoying some quiet downtime today. Just sitting by the fire, drinking lots of tea and reading books. Hope you’re having a good day too … sending love and best wishes from our homestead 👋 Does anyone else get excited by cast iron pans … I certainly do.
My husband knows me well, and found this beautiful vintage cast iron kettle for Christmas. It has some rust on the inside, but that’s easily fixed with a little TLC. Also, as the cost of living / energy continues to rise, we are planning to switch off our electric range. Instead we’ll be cooking exclusively on our wood stove, at least for now (that’ll be a bit of an adventure) … so this gift is absolutely perfect. I can’t wait to use it, and I’m so grateful. 😃 Anyway, hope you’re all having a lovely Christmas … sending you all best wishes … Xxx🎄 I suddenly realised this morning, there’s only 10 sleep’s until Christmas … yikes. Where’s the time gone ? 🤷♀️
I definitely need to start thinking about baking and decorating … but at least we’ve managed to get our tree up. 😅 I’ve recently started baking with spelt flour, so I’m very excited to try out some new recipes … mince pies up first. So far my family love it, no complaints. They especially love my spelt flour cheese scones, which get a big thumbs up. If you haven’t tried baking with spelt, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go … 🥧🥖 Anyway, finally off to start some festive prep … hope you have a lovely day. 🎄☃️ We had -16C overnight, a wee bit chilly, and it’s still snowing this morning. With the sudden drop in temperature, we decided to move our orange tree into the house. It’s just to cold for it outside in our Polycrub. It’s doing well so far, with six little oranges on its branches … very exciting.
In the meantime, our dogs have found their favourite spot by the fire … I don’t think they’ll be moving anytime soon … 😅🐶☃️ What a difference a week makes …
We woke up this morning to a beautiful winter wonderland. It had been snowing all night, and the view from our window has been completely transformed. The pine trees in the woods, and the snow capped mountains look just like a Christmas card … so pretty. We can’t wait to dig out our sleds and have some fun … 🛷 But in the meantime, the log stove is crackling, and I think there maybe hot chocolate on the way. 😋 A perfect December morning … Fingers crossed for a white Christmas … ☃️🎄 |
