Giveaway, Garden and Gizmo

November was a good month for me. I managed to get quite a bit of crafting done and the month just flew by. The photo above shows some of the things that I made including a wool felt heart brooch, snowmen tags, cross-stitched angel card and an embroidered heart filled with whole cloves and crushed cinnamon sticks. If you would like to receive the goods shown above then leave a comment on this post and I will pick a winner the first weekend in December. Good luck!

Today is a glorious winter's day. The sun is low in the sky and the air is crisp.

The garden is overgrown and green and full of berries. I particularly like the look of these translucent red berries but have no idea what they are!

Would you believe the picture above was taken today the 1st December 2008 in my back garden in the UK? I wonder where the plane is jetting off to?

The Camellia is in bud. This is smothered in red flowers when in bloom.

I don't know what this plant is but I like its structure.

What is that moving in the undergrowth? I thought as much. It's Gizmo.

What's he up to now?

Look at that face.

My naughty, gorgeous, ginger boy.

  5. Hi Ellia!
    We are heading into winter too but you wouldn't think so from the photos would you? They really do look spring like. Yes! Gizmo's nose does get even more pink when he is all excited or being naughty. It positively glows!!!

  8. What lovely goodies Simone!
    Our winters are lovely to look at aren't they from the warmth of indoors, but not much fun to get up early in and set off to work - still, have to earn a crust don't we!!:0)

  11. We,ve had snow today and the birds have already eaten nearly all the berries off next doors bush - well I should say Mrs Blackbird ate them. Gizmo is just adorable - as are your goodies...

  12. Lovely crafting there -what sweet snowmen!

    I'm a bit worried about those berries - I think they may be a kind of nightshade - yeech! The beautiful spray of greenish berries will soon turn black - they're ivy berries and great for bird nosh and shelter during the winter months - they'll thank you for leaving the berries and foliage.

    What a stunning sky. I love crisp sunny winter days. Emma x
