What a strange and intense year it has been. I feel like on moments of reflections it feels like a dream. Previously to 2020 I would long for things to slow down, but the idea of going back to April and May fills me with dread. Although I am sure everyone can bring some positives from this year, for me the quality time of being with my children I know I will reflect on in years to come how special it was, even if I couldn’t see it at time! It also showed me what I can actually cope with, staying at home with three little ones by myself, trying to teach two of them was definitely difficult, lonely and exhausting. But I am proud of what we have achieved as a family and how we got through the low times together.
But I will always remember the pain of this year. So much loss, and hardship for so many. The one thing I have learnt is to appreciate the small things that perhaps have been overlooked when life is busy and I promise I will not forget them once things return to some sort of normality.
Although this Christmas will be different, no big parties, a quieter Christmas for all, I feel like being creative has saved me and so many this year and I am so proud to bring our selection of wreath kits so that you can continue to get creative in your home.
The Scarlett Wreath
I wonder what it is about a Christmas wreath that gets everyone so excited? Instagram loves them. I think for me it is a sign that something special is coming and I hope more than ever if we are able to meet with those that we love it will feel even more special than ever before.
The Very Berry Wreath
For me I love the build up to Christmas the most and the part I love the best is decorating the house. Red and green can be left at the door. Each year my house is filled with soft pinks, whites, sage greens and a touch of silver. I love to get inspired by life around me and one of my traditions at Christmas is going to the ballet and seeing The Nutcracker. I love the sugar plum fairies dresses and this year I have used their beautiful costumes to inspire one of our wreath kits.
Sugar Plum Wreath
Each wreath kit comes with all the materials: frame, wire, moss, winter foliage, and beautiful decorations including dried flowers, fruit, cones, berries and each wreath is finished off with a velvet ribbon. All the kits will contain a mini bottle of prosecco to enjoy while you create.
The Winter Wonderland Wreath
Choose from four beautiful designs: Winter wonderland, Sugar Plum, Orange and Lemon and The Very Berry Wreath. Choose which day you would like to collect your items. You will be given a time. Come at your chosen time, collect your package and your tutorial will be emailed through to you. The tutorial goes through making each wreath step by step. the bonus is you can stop, rewind and pause.
All you need to supply is a good pair of scissor, a dustpan and brush (apologies it will get messy) and a cracking Christmas playlist.
If making a wreath is simply not your thing we are also selling ready made wreaths. Choose from four beautiful design: the Hope, The Rose, The Heather and The Scarlett wreath.
I would like to thank everyone that has been to a workshop, course or bought items from our shop. It has no doubt been an extremely difficult year for businesses. So your support means the world to me.
