Unlike The Nolan Sisters who are in the mood for dancing, I find myself often in the mood for crafting. I have a dabble at many different fun DIY crafts and some I haven’t even managed to get around to. I do love during the winter season to knit a new scarf or make some more decorations to display.

There is always a reason for getting creative, whether using old clothes to sew a patchwork blanket or making your own birthday cards to show that little bit of extra love. During times in lockdown whilst living in Vienna, I knitted a scarf and gave this to a friend before leaving this wonderful city. She was over the moon and now has a way that she can think of me and our short but sweet time together. At Christmas, I made tree decorations that were also present tags. These were just as precious to family and as treasured as the actual gift.
