It's starting to look like christmas...


No sew bunting!  just old christmas cards cut into triangles and threaded on a bit of ribbon.  Nice and easy and anything that doesn't involve my un-cooperative sewing machine is always a winner in my book.


Tino and I put together a new wreath for the front door, and were 'helped' in our efforts by a few furry little friends...

... Bunny got really 'into it'!!


Voila!

We didn't make any new tree decorations this year, but just pulled out our trusted favorites.  This little guy has seen better days, as has the legless Santa just behind him!!


Teachers gifts are in full production at the moment - muffin mix in a jar and a home 'burned' spoon!



I've got a few scented candles yet to make and then all that's left is the sweet treats - mince pies, peppermint bark and orangettes!!  I've sent all that needs to be sent and am feeling rather organized for once!

How is your christmas crafting coming along?  Is it in the bag or are you still knitting, sewing and glueing etc into the wee small hours?


HO! HO! HO!

  1. Your bunting is adorable. I love the idea of adding a wooden spoon to the muffin mix. The look on your dog's face is so cute.

    I cannot believe it is December 11th already! Time is just whipping by. Have a great week!

  2. I loved the bunting, perfect for recycling old cards. The wooden spoon was a lovely touch with the muffin mix, such a great idea.

  11. You are pretty busy with gifts it seems. I'm quite organized myself as I have been collecting ideas the whole year. Some gifts need to be wrapped but otherwise I am ready. I don't decorate much, but hope to get a little tree soon. All the best. Regula (coming over from Natural Suburbia)
