Bit of a quiet week. After having loads of ideas I couldn't think where to start and ended up just playing around with piles of fabric and starting some crochet which didn't turn into anything! Hopefully I'll feel more inspired next week.
The fireplace in the dining room has been looking a bit dull since the Christmas decorations were packed away so I decided to brighten it up with a spring display. I picked some corkscrew hazel branches from the garden and popped them in a jug, with some gravel to secure them, then rounded up some "springy" bits and bobs to decorate with.
Together with a few flowers from the garden and the remains of my Valentine's bouquet it looks quite cheerful and fresh! Just need to figure out how to secure the little Easter chicks to the twigs as they keep falling upside down :)
Now I need to do something with the one in the living room as it still has the tea-light holders on it from Christmas!

It looks lovely - really fresh and bright.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for some of those tiny chicks today, but couldn't find any. The only thing I can suggest to keep them the right way up (short of gluing them to the branches) is to glue them onto some tiny wooden clothes pegs - you can usually find them in the craft section of a toy shop.
Have a lovely Friday/weekend, Victoria

ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, and such a good idea, perfect with this weather. Now I'm tempted to get some of my Spring/Easter decorations out, after all we decorate for a month before Christmas don't we?
ReplyDeleteSuch a cheerful mantelpiece you have! It looks just lovely with the colourful jugs, spring flowers and Easter decorations.
