I think it's the family things done together which make Christmas. When the children were small, it was dressing the tree (I only ever got to UNdress it and shove it out the window!!) Now we all bring something of our own to Christmas.<br /><br />I reckon we should all go to Pattypan's anyway, as she has a feast and a half laid down in her larder!!<br /><br />Happy wreath-making, all.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-63068522148566845672013-12-12T12:37:00.622-08:002013-12-12T12:37:00.622-08:00Love the new winter scene photo for the blog.

I might try and have a go this year and having seen the dried orange slices on a tree at a NT property I'll try and dry some of those too. A really lovely post :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-36446687533257042942013-12-11T15:19:52.466-08:002013-12-11T15:19:52.466-08:00Looks lovely BB - and what a lovely tradition of ...Looks lovely BB - and what a lovely tradition of making the wreaths together. We all create our own traditions which are precious in the greater scheme of family life. I am on holiday next week am well behind with the preparations despite starting early fortunately I have got quite a bit on the food front done now it is the house to sort and the decorations are coming out next week. I will get there one way or the other, but may be burning some midnight oil. I have Ivy and Bay in the garden and ribbons and some pretty Christmas picks in the back bedroom somewhere so I intend to have a play. Your little wreaths have perked me up no end made with such love and simplicity. Thank you. Catch you soon.<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-59787957720749332552013-12-11T13:08:55.447-08:002013-12-11T13:08:55.447-08:00Em - I am sure you could find plenty not far from ...Em - I am sure you could find plenty not far from your cottage to get you going.

The orange slices are easy to do - cool oven for a while, until they are dried right through. I usually use a wizened orange which has been forgotten in the fruit bowl, and it's half mummified to start with!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-1264120349285689602013-12-11T08:46:57.599-08:002013-12-11T08:46:57.599-08:00Heart shape does look nice .. and I love the one w...Heart shape does look nice .. and I love the one with the orange slices.<br /><br />Vicky xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710224174192867236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-85725049882522452252013-12-11T06:53:54.005-08:002013-12-11T06:53:54.005-08:00Your post today has really got me into the Christm...Your post today has really got me into the Christmas spirit - can do without the snow though.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
