feeling festive

it finally hit me today....you know... that Christmas feeling....I wasn't feeling it at all, despite making Christmas items for the past few months (maybe because I have been making Christmas items for the past few months!)

but this morning my smiling Happy Trees looked SO festive in the sunshine.

Then today at the Day Job the Christmas boxes came down from the dusty top shelf (SO many baubles to have fun with) ... the decorations aren't up yet, but Saturday is official Bauble day!

and THEN on the w-i-n-d-y walk home from the workshop there were Fairy Lights being put up in the trees in the town centre!

Definitely a Christmassy day.

Ho-Ho-Ho

perfect sewing weather

Don't you just love this cold dry weather?

It's absolutely perfect for snuggling up under a blanket with some hand sewing and stitching away the hours!

I've been doing just that .... I've completed some Christmas embellishments

and I am half way through some polka dot Happy Trees

... I've gone a little polka dot crazy and ordered some new tissue paper for wrapping up my festive orders...

...there are more packaging supplies on their way too...it would seem this cold weather is good for a spot of online shopping too :-)
