Winter Seasons Table

We have finally started to have some Winter weather over the last few weeks and after Myffwyn's birthday which is on the first day of Winter for us, we changed our various Seasons displays to reflect this.

Our main season's table has some interesting snowmen and a wood elf perched up on the  grapevine wreath wrapped in winter coloured ribbons with some red winter berries on it.  Don't you just love that beautiful painted yellow moon up there with her?

As time goes by we will add some snowflakes and winter lights as well as a few other winter treats.

In the brick fire place we have Mother Earth with her little babies in a basket along with King Winter.
To keep them company we have Jack Frost along with Jill Frost and their adorable little frostlings. These have been dry needle felted  and are very soft and lovely.

On another book case we have the pipe cleaner tree I made bare of any colour - neither leaves or blossoms and it looks very bare indeed without any colour.

Behind that we have a home made carved wooden tree that is polished with bees wax along with some Winter elements on a half  circle display ring. These were made for me by our son a few years ago and painted by one of our girls for me. I especially love the pine tree that for me really speaks of Winter.

I am looking forward to creating more Winter memories with our younger children as we celebrate this most favoured season.

Autumn Seasons Table

As we have moved into the Autumn season we have changed our  seasons table to reflect this in our home.
As this is my most favourite season followed by Winter I just love the crafts we can do with the season.
The colours just reflect the warmth and cosiness I anticipate and love about this season.

Of course the table changes as the children like to redecorate it to their own tastes and with their own added extras too, and sometimes we actually have a season's table war with children vying for their version to be the one that is left the longest.

Another place  we decorate is our brick fireplace with the bakers oven insert. Here Mother Earth sits with other seasonal delights: Autumn leaf people, gnomes and felted seasonal vegetables and felt leaves, both cut from felt and from  fleece.

These  have all been hand made by myself or family members.
In fact the Autumn fairies (in the above picture were made by Rogan a couple of years ago.

After Easter as we come more into the season we will be making more Autumn items for our changing season table.

Spring Seasons Table

It seems as if our Rogan has been the major contributor to organising our seasons tables lately.
As we started Spring earlier this week Rogan brought out our annual items for display.
We have made these over the years and I really am hoping we will be able to craft some new things together over the next few weeks.

I really like the spring fairies and wool roving birds we have for our All Seasons wreath. All these including the wreath were made from The Children's Year and All Year Round.

I am linking this post to Creative Friday and hope to be involved with out creativity each week in this meme.

Autumn Themes in the Home...

Our All Seasons Wreath with Autumn Fairies

Perhaps you are unaware, or perhaps you are aware that we like to create 'seasonal pockets' within our home. I try to regularly change our seasons table and the wreath above to reflect the seasons and depending sometimes major feast days as well.
Rogan made these sweet little Autumn flower fairies (above) last year and was really pleased with his work

Sometimes I am able to create new items each year and others I just try to reorganise in different ways to give a new look.

I have been behind in changing all the seasonal displays with Lent coming and also just not being on the ball so today was one day I tried to finish up our display areas.

Eden drew this lovely chalk board picture....if I can just keep Arwen from 'contributing' to it......oops too late already. Just as well I got a photo, although it will allow others to contribute as well.

Autumn Leaves

I made these Autumn Leaf dolls a couple of years ago, in fact I took them to hospital when I had Arwen to finish them off. I am creating another one right now as well and hope to share the pattern soon. Is anyone interested?

This is our Brick Oven display with Mother Earth, some friendly needle felted gnomes and a small felt gnome as well as a few needle felted pumpkins, courtesy of Saxon and a beautiful needle felted peach by Eden.

Autumn Seasons Table

Our main seasonal display where we put lots of the different home created items for display. It also gets rearranged often by small ones who are interested in looking at the creations, so what you see here is not what you would see now.

I really enjoy these themes in our home and especially creating for them.

I would really love to hear how  you like to reflect upon the season your own homes?

Blessings to you and your homes,
