Preparando Per Natale… Getting Ready For Christmas…

It happens each year… Christmas just seems to creep up too fast…not wanting to begin decorating too early,  next thing I know,  it's 10 days away!

Accendifuoco…Firelighters…

Been enjoying making some seasonal crafts.  The latest one being these little firelighters.  Made from Natural ingredients that I had on hand , in the kitchen,   in the shed ,  and around the garden… Dried Roses,  Pinecones,  Dried Bay Laurel,  Rosemary, Sea Lavender,  Dried Apple Rings,  and Candied Orange Slices.  I melted Natural Beeswax, poured it into little Paper Muffin Cups, and  added some Essential Oils, and Spices.   Orange Clove,  Lavender Vanilla,  Apple Cinnamon, Orange Vanilla, and Eucalyptus.  A little piece of Twine dipped in wax will make lighting a fire easy,  the Oils and Spices will make it smell heavenly…
