It is early December and as I sit here writing this, I look outside the window and our little hamlet is wrapped in mist. It makes everything feel a little closer, a little quieter. From somewhere in the distance, I can hear sheep bells. Tiny notes drifting through the mist like a reminder that life keeps moving slowly, even when the days grow shorter.

Even though it is winter now, the wall hanging that I am sharing was made during autumn. This wall hanging was a custom piece, and the family asked for a jackdaw and other botanical illustrative elements that were meaningful for them.
