It will be another busy day for us ~

Fresh greens need to be cut, and last-minute baking done!

for those who aren't on Instagram or Facebook,

I recently posted some photos of the new candle the I received from

Gable House Goodes/Misi Axel

Misi offers candles through her shop via Big Cartel:

{ http://gablehousegoodes.bigcartel.com/ }

and also holds a club for candle lovers...

this is her

Williamsburg Wassail candle & fixings ~

and a few photos of our yet-undecorated tree 

... shown here in the Keeping Room of our farmhouse:

the scent of Christmas.....

I'll be decorating a little more after tomorrow, and will share some pics of the farmhouse & shop in their Holiday finery for you to see

~ if you're so inclined ;)

 

I also posted about the wonderful finishing techniques found in the 

Fun With Wool book by Kathy Clark/Briarwood Folk Art

 { http://thegrinningsheep.blogspot.com/ }

here are a couple of wool-wrapped-finished mats I did

using one of Kathy's techniques ~

small house

fraktur tulip

 what a beautiful, 

neat & tidy edge this technique lends!

and it is easy as pie ~

Well I am heading to the kitchen for another cup of tea and a scone...

many miles to go before I sleep tonight!

 

wishing you all a cozy & creative day!
