Why you should service your boiler
Our boilers are not something we think about often. We assume that we will always have heat and hot running water when needed. Just like your car, you should service your boiler regularly to ensure it has a long life. As the mileage increases on your vehicle, leading to wear and tear, the same is true of your boiler. (more…)

The fashion staple from the Emerald Isles
Ireland has provided us with many styles of clothing through the centuries.

They are available in many colours and weaves from https://www.shamrockgift.com/aran-sweaters/mens-aran-sweaters/.

Simple autumn wreath ideas to try
Autumn really is the season for crafters. As the nights draw in and the leaves fall, it’s time to create seasonal decorations to transform your home.
This year, upgrade your front door with an autumn wreath, blending the rich colours and diverse textures of the autumn season. Whether you’re a keen knitter, a macrame master or would love to gather natural materials to weave into your creation, here are some super simple wreath ideas to try this season.
All-Natural Autumn Wreath
A little preparation is all you need to create a natural, inexpensive and beautiful autumn wreath. You’ll need to collect and carefully trim fresh foliage, such as your favourite leaves, baby’s breath, wheat, grasses, eucalyptus and your favourite dried flowers. Taking a long, crisp autumnal walk or exploring your garden will help you to gather all the foliage you’ll need. Drying your foliage first will help it to last the season.
To create the wreath, first trim your foliage to remove long stems. Next, take your wreath ring and carefully wrap the wire around the first layer of foliage, working in a clockwise fashion and tucking in stems to cover your ring. Lastly, add your dried flowers for a pop of autumnal colour.
Seasonal Mixed Textiles
Try crafting a seasonal wreath by adding in a little textile work. You could knit or crochet pumpkins or flowers, tucking them into your wreath ring as you go. Mix it up by adding leaf garlands or foliage too for a stylish and unique touch.
A macrame kit is another great option for home decor this season. Use autumnal colours to weave and knot a macrame wreath or create an autumn-themed door hanging instead. A wreath macrame kit, such as that found among the macrame kits from Wool Couture, provides an excellent basis for your own ideas.
Wheat and Feathers
For a stand-out front door, try something different with a cascade of wheat and feathers. This autumn-inspired style is created by simply weaving feathers and wheat, found at the craft store, into your wreath form. -
