three good things:

1) i had a few chocolate chips about an hour ago and now i am frantically planning on cleaning and dying a fleece that's been in my garage since 2023. i have a wee bit of inspiration to dye small bits of wool in various colors and then use them for embroidery on another project that's been languishing for a while.

chocolate chips as instant motivation? maybe! i'm not sure how long this energy will last, but i'll take it. lol

2) i still have fairy lights in my front window and they are the special kind that flash along with whatever music is playing nearby. i may never take them down. sorry neighbors. 😌

3) did i mention that i ate a very small handful of chocolate chips? because i'm not used to that amount of caffeine (or like, any caffeine, lolol) so i am kinda spinning my wheels here. but they were pretty good and i have now reached my caffeine quota for the year. 🎉

I walked down to see the snowdrops at the bottom of the road this afternoon - it's always a place that feels strangely enchanted. It's recovered well from last year's big disaster of one of the trees coming down - not just the loss of the tree but all the churning up and mess of its removal. Still beautiful. Life goes on.

A photograph from January 2022 of a grassy bank covered in snowdrops. An old tree has rotted away at the roots and blown over in a winter storm so that it's now lying across the snowdrop-covered ground. Some of the branches have shattered on impact. The day is bitterly cold and bleak, and the photograph is blurred where raindrops have been blown into the lens. The sky is dark grey cloud, with a small patch of cold light breaking through. In the foreground is a tangle of small lichen-covered branches that have been blown there by the wind.
A photograph of the same grassy bank a year later in February 2023. The day is mild and sunny, and the sky is blue. It's late in the afternoon, so the bank is in deep shade as the sun lowers in the sky. Snowdrops stand out bright against the shady grass like patches of snow. In the distance past sunlit trees is the blue of the Cromarty Firth, and beyond that the Black Isle bathed in sunshine.
A photograph of the same bank of snowdrops taken in portrait instead of landscape. A ridge of dark earth runs across the photograph where the tree once lay.
Another photograph of the same bank of snowdrops, this time with a large stone and a moss-covered tree stump in the foreground. Against the dark rotten wood of the stump the snowdrops seem to glow almost like little fairy lights.

For the last few years our Christmas tree has been an origami one.

I made it from 9 metres of watercolour paper and embellished it with spray paint.

But it's in storage as we've moved to a new city in a new country.

So this year we found a branch on the beach, brought it home and put some fairy lights on it.

It's fine, but it's not the same.

The pieces of an origami christmas tree laid out flat on a purple rug. The trunk is a long red rectangle. the six pieces of the tree are all the same shape - a thin isoceles triangle with a flared base - and vary in size from 15 cm long to 75 cm long
the origami tree constructed, standing in a dark room and lit with fairy lights. six layers, about 150cm high in total, each layer gilded with gold paint glowing in the lights. the background is unclear
another picture of the origami tree with full light, so the structure can be clearly seen. there is a santa claus made from lego standing on a hifi speaker to the right, and an angel on top of the tree

After seeing that wireless LED video I keep thinking of having a fake Christmas tree with coils in the trunk and perhaps branches, that would feel LED decorations wirelessly.
No more messing with wires or wasting batteries.
