Wheat Weaving

Years ago my best friend Susan made wheat ornaments for me.  She had really good luck with hers..they are holding up very nicely..of course I think of her when I put them on the tree!


I tried wheat weaving or Hvetevefting..I soaked the wheat in a bucket..I braided the stalks together..I made ornaments ..they slowly lost all their grains and were left looking skinny but  bearded.  I threw them away.  Luckily  for me I have a friend who shared her good harvest with me.  Wheat is a symbol of life and the key ingredient of bread.


Our tree is finally complete..see I had plenty of time..these days before Christmas are listed on a piece of paper..it is "The List" that we will live by for the next few days.. Happy first day of winter! :)
