Hope you are all well and fit.Our wheather has been exceptionally rainy over the last couple of weeks,but no doubt we will still have a hosepipe on next summer.We are never happy are we? Either too much rain, or not enough,we cannot win can we?
Sorry for not posting earlier ,but had every intention to ,but you know what it is like in a family ,you always seem to get side tracked by something or other.If you celebrate Christmas I do hope you had a good one and found some time for yourselves, as Christmas can be such a demanding time for everyone.
My freind came over yesterday and said she was fed up with Christmas already, and is going to take her Decorations down as they where "doing her head in" her words not mine.She is very neat, and always extremely tidy.
My house always looks lived in with crafts on the dining table ,bits of knitting and crochet hidden under coffee tables ,but that is me.It would be a boring old world if everyone was the same.Saying that the middle of the room does look tidy so that has got to count for something hasn't it?
My decorations will be up until after Christmas and into the new year.I have more of a reason to keep them up this year, as I decided to make as many of the decoration for the tree and walls myself.To be honest I have said this for the last couple of years and never got around to it ,but I finally managed it this year.
Below are a sample of what my tree looked like, I made padded hearts,quilted baubles,felt decorations,crochet baubles, large rosette decorations,large centre bow with curled tails and many more.
I was so pleased with how they turned out, and have had lots of comments how lovely it looks.
One of my friends said my tree looked like it came came from the GARDEN CENTRE CALLED " BENTS".Believe me this is a complement as the Christmas layout in BENTS is astounding , so If you are close to WARRINGTON why not pop in to see for yourself.
The tree with its centre topper on with a gorgeous glittery faux pointsetia and gold ribbon ringlettes.
Here you can see the rosettes ,the crochet bauble,fury pom poms large ribbon roses ,faux pacels with lace and ribbon and segmented card baubles which I stamped and embossed.
Well I am off to to tidy around as we have in laws coming over later, so need to find more places to tidy away all my crafts otherwise they will have to eat sitting on the rug on the living room floor.
Happy Saturday to you all, and will be back later to chat a little more. x
P.S. Don't forget to call back later as I have a little news about Sue, and how her Christmas went,quite eventful from what I can gather.
