No advent calendar

December. Not the best start to the season, currently sitting writing this with ice pack on my lower back, and not slept for 3 nights!
A trapped nerve is causing my pain and my stress as workshop season kicks off.
It’s one of my favourite things to do and I’m lucky enough to have 4 sold out workshops this year.
As I sit here I’ve realised that I’ve over looked the advent calendar buying for the first time, it was always my mum that treated the boys to their advent calendars and I bought the last five years since she passed and tomorrow will be the first time they haven’t got one but at 20 and 24 I think they’ll cope!
Christmas is not something we get on board with early in my house, decorations don’t go up until the 2nd weekend in December. As I tend to use lots of fresh foliage in the house sometimes it’s later than that.
This week there is something much more exciting than Christmas happening at my home!
My new studio has been delivered and the company are installing it on Tuesday!
I will have so much more space to work and really hope to be in there and working for Valentine’s Day. It is taking up a large portion of the garden but it will mean that I won’t be using the laundry room, garage and dining room at peak times!
Of course they’ll be lots on social media and I’ll have a grand opening too. Keep you eyes peeled. I thought I’d ask AI for some inspiration for my studio, see the photo below, I’m not sure it really knows the mess a florist workshop can be.
The next few weeks will be super busy with orders, fitting out the studio, a beautiful winter wedding other than that I’ll be in my pj’s 😆
So wishing you all the very best festive season, enjoy the twinkling lights, the seasonal scents and the partying.
Merry Christmas
