My simple DIY spring wreath
When I bought my pussy willow branches I just knew I liked them. I didn’t know that I would get to grow my own trees out of them. Nor did I know they are so easy to dry and keep for years. When they sat infront of me I just imaged a pretty wreath. I…

A moment in time: The hypocrisy of us all
