I made this Owl mug hug for teacher that was leaving preschool. It was super soft, I want one too.
I finally gave up on searching for pine needles to mulch my strawberries, instead I bought some straw. I also painted some rocks red to pop around the plants to deter the birds. I haven't lost any berries to birds so maybe they are working? But I do often find a teeny tiny slugs curled up on a strawberry munching away. So how do I deter teeny tiny slugs?
Speaking of berries, I've been busy picking boysenberries and raspberries. The raspberries disappear very quickly, popped into mouths and lunchboxes. The boysenberries are going into the freezer and into crumbles!
So it turns out it's mostly a berry post! Here's hoping I get a bit of sun soon and I can share a few more Christmas projects.
At least the sun is backout today - so the washing can get dry. Yum to being able to pick raspberries and boysenberries.

I've heard that pine needles keep slugs away because they are sharp. Worth a try?
