I've been continuing to build my Christmas collection and have spent the last few weeks creating these Christmas churches from driftwood and reclaimed wood. Each one is handmade and has its own unique character. They're now finished and tucked away in storage, ready to make an appearance when the Christmas season returns.

Had a couple of weeks off markets, so I’ve been busy making 😊
Started my Christmas collection—driftwood and sea glass trees 🎄 Each one unique.
A touch of oil brings out all those beautiful greens, with tiny pops of colour.
They’ll be packed away soon, ready for the Christmas markets!

I had a lovely day beachcombing in Moville, County Donegal, with the sun shining warmly over the shore. I found two beautifully worn pieces of driftwood, lots of green and white sea glass, and several pieces of pottery — perfect for making angels, trees, and flower pots.

After the cozy post-Christmas slowdown, I’m excited for the March markets—reconnecting with crafting friends, meeting new customers, and sharing some new pieces ✨

I found a beautifully weathered piece of driftwood while beachcombing. Though part was damaged, I salvaged sections and cut three squares, preserving its natural character. I created these flower bowls on the driftwood squares using sea pottery and glass—both hand-tumbled for rich colour and naturally weathered sea glass—blending textures with coastal charm.
