The Making Winter Project has been an absolute joy over the festive season. It's been an unexpectedly tricky few weeks here so the images, blogposts, comments and contributions from all who have taken part have been absolutely invaluable. Thankyou so much. I have collated some images together from the Flickr pool to give a feel for just how uplifting everyone's creativity can be en masse.

I think they're wonderful and they cover many of the hygge themes that Sue described and that Making Winter embraces wholeheartedly. To see even more gorgeous images the December 2011 Making WInter blog hop is here.
Some images cannot be used in mosaics because of privacy settings but contributions from Mrs Micawber Peeriemoot, Planet Penny, Driftwood (especailly her wonderful pinecone biscuits), The Fluff Pot and Paula's Homemade Life are just gorgeous.
The Flickr pool also holds tasters of some New Year themes, fresh starts and hints of a new season. I do like this time of year - it always has a feeling of possibilities and new starts.

The January Making Winter week will begin on Monday 23rd January. This month can sometimes be a tough one so the focus will be on comfort, cosiness and things that can cheer a grey winter's day. We may even factor in some cold and 'flu remedies, just in case. Mrs Thriftyhousehold and I do hope you might join in. I can vouch for it being a very good thing to do.
Happy New Year x
What a beautiful collection and much inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you all and with much love for 2012. Minus the flu and lurgies!

Such happy and productive images. Makes me itch to get creating.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Emma!
A feast for the eyes! It might even inspire me to become a craft doer instead of just a craft appreciator.
ReplyDeleteBut probably not.
Happy New Year to all Pebbles! May it be a year of great peace and joy for you all. xoxo
Lovely lovely mosaics, Emma! I do hope to join in with the next Making Winter week! Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year.

I never cease to be amazed at the amount of talent that exists up and down this land. Your colourful collection of a tiny portion beautifully (and very patiently, I suspect) put together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recent comment. Sending you all good wishes for this new year and beyond.
PS - The puppet show is lovely.
simply thrilled to see my things included in your mosaic...such fun to feel included while we trudge through winter together. i'd love to put the Making Winter button up on my sidebar but don't see where to get it...help?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, heartwarming mosaics, what a lovely project to be following...........
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mosaics, and such inspiring ideas.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Emma! May 2012 bring peace, health and prosperity to you and all who you hold dear x
Wonderful mosaics :-) I for one have found that creating and crafting on my own of with the children has helped me a lot this year. I am still however very much looking forward to Spring :-) x
ReplyDeleteThe photos are beautiful can't wait until the January making week for more inspiring ideas.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that your project has made a huge difference to many people!
ReplyDeleteHappy New year
ReplyDeleteThose mosaics are beautiful! It looks like you've had some really wonderful entries -- what a great way to chase away the winter doldrums!
ReplyDeleteLovely images, I'm so chuffed to be included among such good company! Is it finished now though, can we carry on for January? It's still winter after all...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bouquet of photos and how fun to see some of them again. Looking forward to making more winter this month!
ReplyDeleteYou and TH are brilliant for conceiving and implementing this. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma - what a great blog! so glad I spotted you, we met at the Pick.n mix show in Holt and you commented on my paintings a few days ago. I've looked at the posts on your main page and was wondering about these group projects you organise, I'd love to get involved or find out more at some point. In the meantime I'll keep reading your lovely blog.x Gabs
