I really rate this man and his earnest efforts in wasting absolutely nothing. He popped up on my Facebook feed quite a while back and I was then able to find his vlogs and this amazing book, which I immediately purchased. Between him and the wonderful Nancy Birtwhistle I'm sure we could survive almost any disaster.
At the moment he is helping me with making some homemade lavender salve, stocking fillers for my dearest and nearest. I have finished some of my knitted small gifts and am really enjoying making a cashmere hat and scarf for a family member who feels the cold. I am making them for indoor use, yes she really does feel the cold. She doesn't look at my blog so when the scarf is finished I will pop a picture on. My idea of creating a home made Christmas is giving me so much pleasure, I hope the recipients of my hand made treasures feel the same.
This little Victorian dog is also making me happy, picked up for a mere 50p last week. He is a keeper. Early English pottery is a great love of mine.
This has also caught my eye this week, a home made wall sconce. (I've left the details of who posted this, on the image so she is credited). So now I'm on the lookout for characterful old silver trays in general for some gorgeous Christmas sparkle.
