Cosy Winter

Hello! I've had a little break from blogging this last month, as this time of year gets so busy with orders! Thankfully I have been organised this year and managed to get all my international orders out on time for Christmas, so only have to worry about the ones for here in the UK. Things are winding down gradually...

Autumn has been wonderful here this year, we have had many sunny days and little rain. I am so lucky to live so close to woodlands and nature, and have loved watching the seasons change. 

I'd like to share some of my photos from walks around where we live, to celebrate the shift from Autumn to Winter.

Winter is such a lovely time for me; it's my birthday in December, and Christmas is soon approaching. One thing I find myself doing a lot now is nesting and making; darker nights are spent cosying up by the fire with my sketchbook and a hot cup of tea, or baking cakes to old Christmas jingles. It's a magical time of year. I am keen to carry this in to January and February as these are drearier months to get through, so all the more reason to create colour and loveliness indoors. I quite like the term "nest and make" and am thinking of starting a hashtag this winter on Instagram. 

Nesting and making. Cosy wintery bliss.

What do you love most about winter?
