Friday Chat Day

Hello friends

Eeeek it's nearly festive time! 

Goodness isn't it coming around quickly?  

I was quite laid back but suddenly I feel I need to rush 

and check my list zillions of times.

I have put my food fate into the hands of Tesco delivering on Christmas Eve,

I've decided that whatever substitutes they provide we will just roll with it,

it could prove to be an culinary experience!

Now what has been happening in my little world (aside from the festive panicking)?

It has been lots of craft this week.  

I ventured into my cabin and spent some enjoyable hours making a few items.

First off - my reduced wreath/garland from Argos that had succulents...

they've gone and replaced with fir cones and baubles to complement my theme.

And a bit of foliage tweaking.

Admittedly not overdone but I think that means I could go a bit mad next year! 

My berries did not arrive to add to my garland so I'm sparing you 

of garlands pics this Friday.

Last weekend I spent a lovely day with my crafty pals up in Milton Keynes.

Instead of making cards I decided to  purchase some prints from Etsy 

and pop them into little frames.

Dressed them up with twine and personalised tags,

simply made with snowflakes, holly and mini poinsettias.

Lighting was terrible to take photos but you get the idea.

These prints are from Eleanor Jean Design and her Etsy shop is here.

She very often does offers for half price so worth keeping an eye.

And my Christmas house is finished. 

This is the project I made at the Craft Box weekend and I needed to add the trees

and the little wreath charm.

Really pleased with this, I'll need to wrap it carefully when I put the decorations away!

And there's more craftiness...

I featured some alcohol miniatures last week and I chose to make little tags 

that double as place cards.

The little snowflakes, holly leaves and mini poinsettias appear again along 

with a reindeer and printed die cut tags. 

All finished ready to adorn the table.

We may end up with just these if Tesco let me down! 

And other news: Bella was a pickle this week, whilst my Dad

was looking after her she went on a hunt, found not only her Christmas gifts

but also her cousin-dog Bear's gifts!

Opened and played with them all before my Dad realised.

They've been hidden away again but she's ruined the surprise!

She does get very excited at Christmas and assumes all gifts are for her.

Mitchell is taking her out on Christmas Eve so I can organise her stocking,

yes seriously - the lengths we go to.
