Oh fa la la la la la la la la and charity shop gold !!!

Hello neglected blog readers. 

I think I might be creeping out of the eye of the storm of real life crap going on in Twiggy Towers.

  It's going to drag on into next year but at least some of it is sorted, so on to the good stuff.

I often read back over my previous December blogs and love the build up to the big day at this time of the year, so get your Santa hats on and fa la la along with me. 

Firstly the charity shop gold. 

I've been after a crocheted blanket for ages, look at this beauty.

It's from my Mum's local Sally Army shop and was a real steal, they save all donated wool and a lovely local lady crochets the blankets for the shop to sell. 

I've subsequently gone on their waiting list for another for my sofa and one for my friend, I'll show you later. 

 This is Twiglet's fab retro, nice cold, ice cold milk glass from a local church charity shop for 30p!!!!

 

 Pretty, bargainous biscuit tin !!  not second hand but still lovely.

 Bit of Chrimbo stitching, the half stitches were a b*gger to do, I really need some varifocals (what an old gimmer).

 Some crafting loveliness that arrived today, I'm getting into the pre Christmas build up groove now and I'm stitching away. 

I'm going to have a go at making candles this weekend for the first time.

 Finally, we went to the huge Sally Army shop a few miles away from us today to find some old pans to melt candle wax in, look what Twiglet found. 

A brand spanking new Battleships game, for the princely sum of £1, he then found 30p in the car park, that's my boy :)

So we have much Christmas jollity to look forward to, family visits, meals out, school plays,visits to see Santa, school carol concerts, Christingles - I LOVE this time of year.

Catch you later.
