T'was the night before Christmas...

Well it's finally upon us. The running around, stress, wrapping and shopping has been done. We've been to church, where my youngest dressed as an angel, turkey is cooked, the washing is done and all the scrumptious goodies are open and waiting to be eaten.

The four stockings are hung in anticipation and we've sat down as a family to watch The Snowman and the Snowdog. The children are in bed, I'm having a long bubbly soak and Christmas can begin.

I know I've been lax at keeping this updated but its been hectic. So I will post some pictures of my newly renovated fireplace and some bright and colourful Christmas makes I have worked on over the last week.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas. X

It's the day!

Today is the day that my makes have hit the high street! I was hoping that life would settle down a bit now, but it's been such a busy day (as was the weekend), that I haven't stopped.

However, I did manage to finish off a little rainbow hat I was working on last night. I love it and the fact it's so colourful means it'll be quite eye catching in the shop.

I delivered the first lot of goodies last night, and am plodding on to deliver more mid-week.

On top of that, I have an order to fulfil, decorations still to put up, a fireplace to paint and my boys birthday on Wednesday! I feel exhausted just thinking about it all!!

T'is the season to be manic...

What a week! Life hasn't stopped and I'm beginning to flag, I admit.

Last night I was a cab service for my eldest, who went to her best friend's birthday meal. For some reason I accidentally found myself in the garden centre (they were holding their Christmas open evening) where two balls of wool and some pretty decorations inadvertently found themselves in my basket!

I have knitted up a cowl with one and admit I absolutely love the colours! Another make is in progress ready to hit the high street in just 4 days time!!

Amongst all this madness, I have managed to put up some more decorations today, including my original retro one. :)
