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.

Christmas Countdown

This weekend saw the countdown
to Christmas move up a gear as the
first presents of the season (both
handmade) were wrapped and
dispatched.
On the one hand I seem to have
been planning Christmas for a long
time already on the other hand it's
approaching fast and the to do list
is still much longer than the finished
list!

Festive drinks

Our regular Starbucks order in Boston -
Vanilla Latte for my daughter K and
Passion Tea (sadly not available at UK
Starbucks) for me. The red & white drinks
were a good match for the seasonally
festive cups current in Starbucks at the
moment.

Big Boston Warm Up

Big Boston Warm Up

Have just returned from a few days in Boston
where it gets very cold in winter.
There is a citywide initiative to give coats to
homeless people going on. For every ten
homeless people who are given a coat one of these
figures joins the crowd outside the Prudential
Centre and there were hundreds of figures lined
up - what a great idea!
