Merry Christmas

Christmas morning after church
and before the great present opening
ceremony had begun.
At one point there were carrier bags
lined up in the hall waiting to be unloaded
under the tree.
Cath Kidston goodies and craft books
were amongst my goodies as well as a
beautiful vintage teaset.

Secrets

The wrapping continues and the present pile
under the tree is growing fast!

Stockings

In the previous photo you can just see the tops
of the Christmas stockings hanging in the fireplace
ready for Santa to fill.

Success!

This year the bulbs have grown and are actually
flowering in time for Christmas!

Snow day

With only a week till Christmas we
also have snow!

Christmas Bunting

Christmas is coming

The tree is up, the decorations are
up and the house is almost ready for
Christmas. Still lots of wrapping and
baking to do though!

The white stars came from the Pearl

Bazaar in New York bought on our

trip last May.

Handmade Christmas

As Christmas gets closer the pace
of crafting hots up! As gifts in the
making most of it cannot be posted
but today I made these little sparkly
wreaths to hang on the tree due to
be installed this weekend.
