    Your garland and wreaths are beautiful!! Things like that would cost quite a bit and you are so fortunate to have everything you need on your property. We have holly bushes and for some reason I've only ever seen a few(literally) berries on them. I wish they were loaded with them so I could use them for decor!

    Superb decorative designs, beautifully executed. But I always remain conscious of the fact that without the surpassingly excellent videography, lyrical cinematography and thoughtful music selection and pacing plus highly accomplished audio engineering, the designs and the renovation efforts would all appear... arduous and flat. Amazing RUclips productions, every week. Thank you, Phillip!

  • @carlosruiz184

    We have mulled wine in Sweden too, but I guess with more spices? We use cinnamon, dried ginger, cardamom seeds, orange peel, raisins and
    as many as 12 cloves that are put in unseasoned brandy for four days. Then we strain the liquid into a pan and heat it up with sugar and red wine. Yum!

  • @cltransler
    @cltransler 9 месяцев назад +1

    My mom used to make her own garland, wreaths, etc. She'd run next door and raid our neighbors giant pine tree. I learned from her, so when people compliment my garlands & wreaths and ask how I do it, I tell them, "Get your greenery together, lock them together (wire, clips, whatever) and then just start shoving flowers, berries, etc. in." Take a step back, if it doesn't look good, try something else. I can't tell you how many times I didn't think it looked perfect, but was so tired, I just said, "Eff it, it stays like that..." and they say how amazing it looks. It's complicated and easy at the same time. Yours looks incredible. Kudos!
