tis the season....

^Eve getting busy at the beautiful wooden workshop table at Koskela^

Yep.

Its December.

Do I sound excited?

Mmmm... youre right. 

Im actually really tired and slow on my feet at the moment after a frantic start to the month.

From my previous past you would have seen a few images from my tiny pop up studio exhibition that I held a week or so ago. Well - as it is a crazy time at the moment - I thought I would make things even crazier by running my last workshop for the year on the same weekend! 

Yep. Im hilarious. Just ask my worn out body!!

Lucky for me I love teaching - especially when im in a lovely space surrounded by a whole lot of new people. Truly - I have met some amazing people through all my workshops this year. And this final wreath making class at Koskela's was no exception. 

As it was a small class I was able to have a chat with everyone and learn about their creative passions and pursuits. So by the end of the two hours I had really got to know a lovely group of people, that I will hopefully meet up with again at another workshop soon.

But here are a few images that I took at the end of the class.

And I hope you can see that making wreaths, decorations, and presents at this time of year can really be a worthwhile experience - especially if you share that experience with a group of family and/or friends.... over a few stories and a lot of laughs.
