Spicing up forChristmas

Today I am making Christmas tree decorations from dried fruits and spices.

I know it all sounds a little 'Kirsty Allsop', but I have a week off work and thought it woudl be nice to spend some time being creative.

Yesterday saw me and my (grown-up) daughter making a Christmas cake, chocolate dipped spoons and handmade soaps... it's all getting a bit like Santa's factory here!
