This afternoon Auntie Sioned arrived, which meant that we could kick off this year's Christmas for real! As it happened, my friend Lou and some of her kids happened to be coming over this afternoon, too, and it culminated in a wonderful, creative gathering of friends and family. Lou brought a whole bunch of twisted willow branches as well as ribbon, fabric, decorative sticks, and other items of fabulousness.
It was a little tough getting started and deciding what to create with all these beautiful materials. In the end Auntie Sioned made a wreath, Rhiannon made a different sort of wreath and also a door hanging piece, and I made a chandelier. It took me a few tries to get the balance right, but I'm happy with the product. Rhodri is less convinced, but he doesn't have any better suggestions, so he will have to live with it. Ha ha ha!

Anyway, the whole afternoon was just perfect in terms of allowing us to relax and tap into our creative sides while listening to Christmas music and getting immersed in our own projects. I'd love to make a tradition of this!
