I've not had much to show over the last few days as I've been busy getting ready for Christmas. Here are some orange and clove pomanders I made. The card on the right is one I've had for over 30 years and I put it up every year because I love it. The picture is made of foil and it changes as the light reflects on it.
I was taking a photo of the stove last night when a log exploded and this is what it looks like :
Thankfully we haven't had any snow this time round; the last lot will do me for the winter, but it is really cold and we've had some lovely frosts. This chicken wire looks really good :
I love oranges with cloves, the smell of cloves being pressed in to the orange is so christmassy, my daughter is busy doing one as we speak for our solstice table. I am in total love with our woodburner, I love everything about a wood fire, the heat is so different to central heating! Your chicken wire makes me think again about our lost chickens. I am waiting for the snow to abate before getting some more, but I do miss their friendly clucking and pecking at the kitchen scraps.
ReplyDeleteThankyou again for the lovely mice, I hope you have a lovely Christmas there, keep warm, Blessings, Liz
I haven't much to show at the moment either.. it's just the getting ready and waiting week isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour pictures all look pretty though :0)
Have a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to you and yours :0)
Kind regards,
Donna
The smell of pomanders is gorgeous - reminds me of work.
ReplyDeleteI'm muchly admiring everyone's beautiful snow & frost photos. I'm just too much of a wuss to stand outside for long enough to take good pictures at the moment - it's too flipping cold!
Merry Christmas to you too! Have a wonderful holiday! :)

ReplyDeleteI am an Aussie through and through although I would dearly love to speak another language.
I have had a lovely time reading your blog and I love those frosty wire photos. Amazing weather you've been having in the UK.....
It's blue skies and sunshine here, I think Summer has finally decided to show herself.
Have a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2011......
I totally forgot about those orange pomanders. I used to do those with my kids....Oh well, next year. Stay warm and cozy by your fire. And have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I haven't made an orange pomander in years. Must do that! And I love the pretty chicken wire.
ReplyDeleteLove the clove oranges and your fire looks very cosy.
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes for a lovely peaceful Christmas to you and your family,
