      Most of the stuff can be learned, you can acquire taste. The artistic talent comes in your dna (or not). Love from Spain 😊

    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!

    Anna the Artisan - I loved all your creations in this video! The girls were so cute helping picking out and decorating the Christmas trees, and of course, Phillip's fixing, cooking, and his wonderful humor. May your Christmas be merry and bright celebrating Christ's birth!

    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!

    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 TH-cam productions, every week. Thank you, Phillip!

  • @autodidactin
    @autodidactin 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Anna beautiful garlands and wreaths … the cards are so special and pretty, cutting out the chateau must have been such hard work. But they are lovely. The handmade ornaments from your wallpaper just made the tree ! Your so creative . Philip in the US we call that mulled wine. Cinnamon, cloves, star anise , oranges. It looks so good ! Ziggy needs a coat !

    @cltransler 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +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!

    Enjoyed this so much, and I think you re very wise to have the person who broke the window make retrubution. A hard lesson but we learn to take responsiblity for our actions. You are very loving parents to do this. The tree and the garland look beautiful as do the hand made ornaments. Anna your talents never cease to amaze.

    • @Sgirl
      @Sgirl 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You're not understanding Philipp's humor. He didn't make his daughter pay for the window. It was an accident. He was kidding. He has very sarcastic humor. He's so rarely serious.

    I think Philip is hilarious. Tells you how much brown sugar to use and then proceeds to tell you, but you use the amount you'd like depending on how you feel about diabetes and obesity! Lol😂 Anna is always the professional at creativity and decorating! I love all the grandparents. Very hard working people. Ziggy needs a sweater or a jacket for the winter.
    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉
