Oh Christmas Tree............

Thought I'd say Hello while Twiglet is upstairs helping :) his Daddy decorate his new big boy bedroom. (Why do men decide to decorate and move bedrooms rounds 5 days before Christmas, my brother in law does such things too, we call it Extreme DIY).
Anyhoo surprise, like many of you, we're ill again, I'm so bored with coughs,colds,snot but have developed a bit of a thing for lovely Beechams Hot Berries. bought loads today and might make them up into Christmas cocktails.
Here are some Christmassy pics for you, inspired by noseying at everyone elses lovely bloggy Christmas Tree pics. you'll notice I do like an eclectic Christmas tree, no colour themes for Twiggy :)
Lights off...................Lights on..................................
Twiglets super cute Christmas decos, the trees are for Grandparents the hearts for me and Daddy and they are called `because I love you decorations' awww. Do you like the Elmo backing?My lovely fairy lady (49p from Homebase years ago!)Our knitted Christmas Guinea Pig, not every tree has one of these you know, they are a limited edition knitted about 5 years ago by a friend to raise funds for another friends Guinea Pig Sanctuary.

One of the lovely decs I received from Jenny.Gorgeous deco from Vicky. Just below you'll see our eskimo girl and a red snowman made by Twiglet - looks like he's having a lie down.Do you have Christmas rituals? this is one of mine get out my lovely sherry glasses that used to belong to my Grandma and fill with ruby port.Guzzle, I mean sip delicately whilst writing Christmas cards (aren't these from Charliemotel pretty?)Here's homespun corner, Twiglets original artwork for his nursery Christmas card, in a jaunty green Ikea frame, Alf the dog made by Jenny, my knitted Christmas tree and some pine cones a neighbour gave us from his garden prettified with silver paint and glitter, ohhhh get us.Received a lovely surprise package from Josie yesterday, my giveaway prize a fab peg bag, isn't it pretty? Thanks Josie.Twiglets Christmas card to Mummy and Daddy - he's signed it too!!!Birthday card I made for my MIL.Angel mince pies made by Twiglet and I, they were so scrummy we're going to make a load for Christmas - yum yum.The one good thing about having the lurgy this week has been watching It's a Wonderful Life (yes, again) the Snowman, Father Christmas and lots of other Christmas films whilst laying on the sofa eating quality Street. I swear I opened the tin and could smell Christmas 1976. Magic.Will pop back before Christmas. Meanwhile don't get stressed, do get well and eat lots of choccy.

love

Twiggy x

    Personally I take my port in a pint glass, shh!! We use the sherry glasses (also used to belong to Grandma, does everyone have some?) for the children to have a dribble of wine and lots of water in for Christmas lunch!

    And I must be tired because I had to read your post several times, trying to discover what being petrified by glitter spray meant, der!!!

    Hope you are well and not too Beechams addled by Thrusday!

    "Here are some Christmassy pics for you, inspired by noseying at everyone elses lovely bloggy Christmas Tree pics."

    I think I need to get my eyes tested. I read 'pics' as 'pies' and then got very confused at not seeing pies until right at the end. Tsk - stupid woman. (That's me, not you).

    Lovely seeing all your Christmassy bits and bobs. Sorry to hear you're poorly again :-( I feel like I've been coughing for the entire year, when actually it's only been about 6 weeks. Ho hum.

    Hi
    I am sorry to hear that you are unwell again. Guess what, so am I! I have had a chesty cough for nearly two weeks and my inhaler has been working overtime so that I do not sound too wheezey. Have you been to the Doctors? Maybe you could do with a good shot of anit-biotics or something. Hope it goes by the 25th and make sure that you are well enough to enjoy the day. Virtual hugs.

    since me and hub got together we have bought at least 1 new ornament every year so thats kind of a tradition along with our Christmas Eve Carpet picnic. Hope you are feeling better soon - be careful with your Beechans cocktail :-)

    sorry to hear your not well again. Your tree looks great, especially with the lights on and the decorations by Twiglet, Jenny and Vicky are all lovely, nice peg bag as well ;-) does your mum want one? same price as your real tree?
    We're eating quality street as well.

    Sorry the twigs are feeling poorly again but with all that glittery goodness surrounding you it should help to cheer things. I'm just starting to come out of a ghastly lurgy - waiting for the pebble tots to get it now!

    So much crafty christmas goodness here - little twig is clearly a budding (!) talent in the card and dec department.

    Enjoy the (medicinal) port - love those glasses

    Emma and all the pebbles

Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................

After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn.
Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).

I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!

Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.

I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
