It snowed for about an hour yesterday. I was so excited, I really hoped we'd get about 1-2 inches, just enough to blanket the garden & roof of the house so I could get some photos. Sadly, it didn't do that and the snow melted away as soon as it stopped falling.
Don't know if you can make out the snowflakes falling. It all melted away pretty quickly.
I decided to have a go at making a Christmas wreath today, thanks to a home decorating series called Kirstie's Home Made Christmas. I didn't have any of the materials she had so I made do with some string and very flexible branches.
My first attempt at a (rather rubbish) Christmas wreath. Cost me absolutely nothing so I'm happy!
I've been going crazy with candle making again. Andrew & I are giving candles as Christmas gifts to a few of our closest friend this year, so I have had fun making a mess in the kitchen.
The finished candles. Some of the wicks need trimming before they are wrapped and packed into gift bags.
The next batch of various colours and shapes. These candles will be used around our house.
The two large jars at the back are recycled salsa jars, the three small clear tealight holders are from Tesco (50p each! Bargain!!) and the purple and red tealight holders at the front are from Homebase (99p each! Also a bargain!!). Rather than put tealights in the tealight holders, I made wicks and stuck them inside the holders so I can pour the wax straight in.
