With many of us spending more time at home nowadays, finding things to do around the house is something we have grown to appreciate more than ever. Whether it’s baking, knitting or finding things to make and do with children, these calm, creative moments will make beautiful memories of a happy home.

Here you’ll be inspired by ideas for family celebrations, crafts to cosy up your interiors, activities to do with kids and simple ways to welcome the seasons.

Reflecting the Irish calendar, from St Brigid’s crosses in February to Christmas wreaths in December, The Homemade Year will help you move gently through the months and make everyday moments special.
