Joy to the World by Robyn Wood

Hello, it’s Robyn with you today sharing a Christmas project.

With Christmas looming I know many of you have been working on some special projects to decorate your house or for gifts for friends and loved ones. I hope this project inspires you!  I’ve gone for a soft blue palette with a snowy village feel but if inspiration strikes you after Christmas, it is easily customisable with different wording and colours.  The wording comes from one of my favourite Christmas carols – Joy to the World.  It is such a happy carol and never fails to bring a smile to my face as I sing along.
