Life’s little pleasures: a Christmas wreath

In this ever changing, uncertain and sometimes tragically dangerous world that we live in , our heart and mind seeks refuge to some innocent , simple, happy little pleasures, our  defense against dark realities…….. .
My little , happy moment today was another heartwarming craft .
I have had this in mind for some weeks now, but I thought it was rather early to  make something Christmassy . The weather here is still very spring-like and discourages the whole Christmas crafting idea.
But this morning, I felt the urge to start working on a wreath , using the tiny , Oh-so-cute and pretty creatures I bought some time ago, along with my crochet flowers –the ones I wrote about ,in my last week’s post.
Do you want to have a peek ?
 This little man with the red bonnet and the grey outfit is just adorable.
Look, he is sitting next to my crochet Christmas flower. Do you like the little button?
And here is another tiny friend , one of Santa’s helpers , dressed in red .There is a white heart on his dress .
 A Christmas wreath can’t be complete without  some cinnamon sticks , a pine cone ,fir ,holly and red ribbons.
Here is my wreath against the green background of a plant in a pot, on my balcony.
A new wreath deserves to be photographed again and again!

The two pretty creatures on the wreath have company, as you can see!
I adore the little ,female Santa’s helper and the tiniest  Santa I have ever possessed , fully covered in beard!


A reindeer and a wooden tree are definitely a must for a festive scene .


I hope you liked my new wreath and why not, make something similar using little Xmas ornaments you have at home , little crochet flowers and loads of positive thinking and smiles. 
Have a lovely week dear friends. I hope this will be better than the last oneJ
Till next time ,
Tina xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    1. Yes, we all need this 'by ourselves' time to create and get away from life's difficult or stressful moments.
