Christmas 2011

A nice mess




This is the parcel bunting I made with my youngest daughter, it is up all around her lounge, just hope she finds some way of keeping it neat and tidy till next Christmas!!


She is really pleased with it and has received some lovely compliments about it.   Was quite simple to make and does look nice.    I can see me getting into the bunting business as her friend has requested one.  Obviously it has to be different - the problem now is how?  





All hanging straight


I did made a ribbon with buttons on         it to hang little hand-made carrier bags on for my oldest son not sure how that went - whether the bags fitted; did they even receive it through the post.  Hmmmm







Very very very long




Merry Christmas
This is bunting referred to in my previous post, you can see the individual elements there.  I think it looks really nice the way my son and his partner have put it up.  You can't quite see it here but it does say Merry Christmas from left to right on both sides, so it doesn't matter where you see it from.  They were both pleased with it, and I enjoyed making it.

Must start my projects earlier next year.  The trouble is that it doesn't feel very Christmassy until December then there is not enough time to get everything done in time.  I have two more Christmas projects which I have started and am going to finish before the end of January.  I will then put them away and lose them probably before December.  They are two Nativity scenes as requested by my oldest daughter.   Did manage to get some cards made, not many this year again need to start earlier.  

Haven't done my nails at all, but have looked at all the posts and there are some gorgeous Christmas ones, so if I finish my projects early I will have time to do my nails.  

Have spent Christmas in Hundleton, Pembrokeshire, a really relaxing time, doing absolutely nothing except eat and drink.  Got some nice jewellery,  choccies and books - Cakewrecks from the website, absolutely hilarious cake decorating blunders. Well worth a look.  Also got a part share in a Blu-ray DVD player, I say part share cos my name was on the label but I don't watch a lot of TV.  Might be nice if it is connected to the internet to be able to see ideas - 'writ large'
