We finished for the Christmas holidays last Friday - hooray!!!!
We're all hoping to catch up on some much needed sleep and family time.
Anyhoo, hope your Christmas preparations whatever they may be, are going well?
We seem to be chasing our tails somewhat, I've still got several gifts to make - talk about cutting it fine Twiggy and we still have to make our family Christmas cards - hey ho!!
Bit of a thrifty, snifty here, take one slightly knackered wreath, remove berries that perished in snow last year and replace with baubles that you were going to throw away cos the tops had disappeared !!
We went on the Santa Express last night with friends and had a lovely time, much warmer this year at 2 degrees compared to -17 degrees last year !!
My lovely in laws are joining us for dinner tomorrow evening and I'm making a bread and butter pud - yum - it's so nice to have time to chillax and cook something from scratch.
Anyhoo onto Twiglet's fantastic makes.
The school had a colour theme of blue and silver this year - oooohhh fancy.
Fantastic calendar.
Ace Christmas tree card.
I absolutely, totally LOVE this, what a clever little chap.
It will look ace on our Chrimbo table.
Are you sitting down? we had our works do at a rather posh restaurant a couple of weeks ago and old Twigs wore a frock - albeit with v.thick black tights and flat silver shoes - so a posh version of my usual long t.shirt and leggings combo.
It is a lovely shade of teal and I'll wear it again.
(Top bargain from Asda, fact fans).
Also, look at this bargainous frock I've bought to wear at Chrimbo, top bargain from th'Ebay.
It's shocking isn't it, me getting my legs out, whatever next??
Right off to scoff my chilli made by lovely Mr Twigs.
Oooo but I must show you these slipper boots I've bought for my Mum, aren't they lovely?
I'll check in again before the big day with my makes and Seasons Greetings.
Tell me though, what makes have you made/are making for Christmas?
Twiggy xx
wow Twiglet is so clever that place mat he made is brilliant. Your dresses are fab I especially like the Asda one. Enjoy your family chillax time with the family we are just waiting for our youngest daughter to arrive this evening and my Mum is coming down on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of Christmas makes on my blog and need to take another picture of my patchwork mat that I just finished at the weekend
Have a fantastic Christmas and break from work
Hugs Jackie x
Lovely posh frock - I like the colours, much more cheerful than a little black dress.
ReplyDeleteHave agreat Christmas!
What a great mat - so sweet! I love the school makes, I have various new dough decorations, glittery cards and a calendar when the boys came out yesterday. Oh, and a candle holder.
ReplyDeleteI've not made much in the way of gifts this year, unless you count the plum vodka and sloe gin which is now decanted into nice bottles. Oh, and jars of homemade mincemeat for the teachers. But I've made lots of decorations which are all for my benefit!
Hope you and your legs have a wonderful Christmas (no idea what I'm wearing yet!)
