Bright Corners

I've finished work for Christmas now. School broke up yesterday. I now have five days to make presents and do anything I want to do before leaving to go and visit family. I've spent recent evenings laying on the couch so haven't any craft projects to share. I'll photograph the presents I make and share them after Christmas. I've mentioned how much I'm enjoying being at home at the moment. So I thought, rather than just being silent, I'd share photos of the 'bright corners' with you. Sorry I didn't tidy for you : )

Wont you come in?
A very handmade wreath on our door.

Come straight into the living room and we'll put the fire on (although I'm pretty terrible at lighting fires!)

My good friend Jo Blaker sends me the most wonderful cards

My Gran wove this rug and I think she dyed the wools too. I've decided it's our Christmas rug to come out only for a few weeks a year.

 Choose a book from our little library? What to cook?

Christmas cards still waiting to be sent.

One side of our living room is taken up with my crafts. My desk is a busy (and messy) place.

Necklaces I've made and necklaces I've found and treasure.

Inspiring books I've borrowed from the school library, filled with wonderful photos and illustrations.

Pretty shells hanging from the wall.

And through the hall way to the kitchen.

Look out the window

Study the plants.

Don't look at the dust whilst waiting for the kettle to boil.

Hope you are having an enjoyable and cosy weekend at home (avoiding those shops!)

  5. I love your home, it looks so cosy and hearty! From the "wild" wreath at your door, to the loved rug made by your grandmother, all the handmade stuff and the little sign leading you to the right books on the shelf :-)

    I will make some small things to during the days left until Christmas, some decorations and maybe one or two handmade gifts. And you inspire me!
