Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. I'm taking a break for a short while and see you in 2011.
The doorwreath I made at the Spriggs workshop.
With all the snow and icy weather we've been having I was reminded of a place on my 'to visit' list - the Ice Hotel in Sweden. Built from scratch each year, and always designed differently. Not sure I could last a night on a block of ice - no matter how many reindeer skins they gave me.
Shortest day of the year - roll on summer. Stonehenge in the snow.
A family favourite - made by the lovely Mrs Cheese
More snow yesterday - makes me want to go and see the new Narnia film.
Ho Ho Ho ! End of term. Lovely labels from Jamie.
A lovely way to personalise Christmas cards from the Royal Mail - and I love this year's stamps.
I love a bit of star gazing, which is particularly relevant at this time of year. This is one taken by the Hubble Telescope.
These cutters make great decorations as well as lovely festive biscuits.
And while you've got the button box out....
I missed this one from Biscuiteers - maybe next year.
So many lovely things to make this time of year - especially if you like buttons.
It's nearly all gone now but it certainly felt Christmassy last week.
Decorated our tree yesterday and thought I would share my vintage 70's angel with you - digging the pink trouser suit!
Today is St Nicholas day in Holland when children leave out a shoe or boot and receive a gift from Sinterklaas. Traditionally chocolate letters are given. They make great stocking fillers too.
Making my door wreath next week - I don't think this one by Martha would last long on my door.
It's all white here in Sussex so this is what we've been doing.Picture by Belle and Boo
The best thing about this time of year is elf yourself returns. Try it and see.
View from the cliffs at Tintagel in Cornwall Very cold but very beautiful.
The first of 24 - this fat felt robin comes in two sizes - only a few left....
