Christmas present delivery day, the big hamper has gone off to it's new home and I made these bird nesting pods last night to be posted off to family in the uk (not sure if they're going to get there on time now with the ferry port closed an all) I'm sure they'll be enjoyed for years to come, I think I might have a few days off weaving now if my fingers can handle the withdrawal 🤣 Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for supporting us this year 🙂 we've had an awesome year and it's all down to you our lovely supporters and customers 🙂 thank you and hope you have a good one where ever you are xx xx

It's still very pretty out after two days of snow, but now it's frozen over night and turned to sheet ice on the roads, rain and heavy storms tomorrow, so staying cozy by the fire . The willows don't take up water very well in this weather, so it's forcing me to take a well needed rest. Stay warm where you are much love ❤️

Soaking willow in this weather is a bit of a problem. It's very pretty out there though ❄️ 💙
