The first time I saw a celebration ring it enchanted me. What a beautiful tradition and way to provide a focal point foe a table which does not  focus on cake!

I don’t know if any of you will remember my rather large needle felted seasonal table that sadly succumb to moths? Well as a smaller replacement this ring is going to have expansion guides to turn it into a small seasonal table for the centre of the table. They will be available on the Equinox and Solstice for the relevant season, and will bring you some small sweet makes to work on through the year. Foe subscribers of The Handcrafted Year these packs will be free via the members area of my website, they will be available in my shop too for a small cost.  For now here are some birthday themed goodies to keep you going...
