My little yule log! I wanted it to look like one of those old fashioned ladies magazine type of cakes from the 1960s. Supposed to be a birch tree of sorts! Very fun & cute!

Dried some orange slices the other day! Takes a bit, so start on a weekend morning (or buy some)! In front of lights, they look like stained glass! You can also use them for garlands & in tea! 🫖✨🍊🎄

I made a real gingerbread greenhouse! It’s mostly melted Werther’s caramel candies! Never made one before! I had no idea how much work it would be, but I accomplished a dream! 🎄✨

Nettle is fascinating. I have been enjoying the Chelsea Physic Garden’s Healing w Plants & thought this bit was really wild! The leaves sting, but its juices heal the sting! I wouldn’t mind growing that! 🫖🌱

The Christmas wreath I made last year! I loved all the wreaths with the little houses, but they were expensive, so I made one myself! I think I would have made it regardless, bc I loved customizing it! ✨🎄

Made some letters to Santa! Been seeing these on insta & thought I’d make some for my baby brother. I didn’t use the candy melts w the red dye 40 bc apparently they give kids the zoomies & they start running around real fast (well, he’s an adult) so I made chocolate seals.✨🎄

What medicinal plants do you enjoy growing? I am planning on growing a cute little tea garden—calendula, spearmint (I know), chamomile, & tulsi! What other options would you include?
