A little more red and green

 With inspiration from an article on 'Celebrating Christmas soulfully in the southern hemisphere' I have been putting together some simple summery Christmas decorations. My wreath is made of our favourite herb rosemary. I attatched it to a bent coat hanger using torn strips of christmas fabric that I forund at an opp shop during the year. I also added some red felt stars and a sun ornament in the middle in celebration of our hot summer sun. I hung it on the weekend in the hope that it would last two week and this photo was taken this morning, as you can see it is so far so good, still looking green and beautiful after a rather hot day yesterday. Benny and I both love to smell it as it smells just like when I bake chips with rosemary (yum!)

 
 Ive also made another warm summery star for the window in Christmassy red

 And decorated some sprigs of rosemary in a jar. I used some leftove beeswax sheet pieces to make decorative stars that stick on the jar and also modeled some as a candy cane for on the rosemary sprig

Me and the children have been buisy sanding away at our dolls house, here is the 'during' pic of its make over
