WOYWW and a Happy Christmas!

Oh such a busy Wednesday - shopping, baking and visitors.
It's so lovely to be in town where family can just drop in - Haven't had that luxury since leaving home at 18!
Now Julia suggested we take a snap of our trees to share on WOYWW  - so here is mine - neatly tucked out of harm's way in the corner of my kitchen. Ben helped me to load it up with all our old favourite decorations.

 

 This is the beautiful flower card that arrived by post today.
So pretty and a perfect little gift from one of my Yorkshire friends.

And this is the little track suit that I knitted for Sam's dolly.
I just hope it fits.










And that just leaves me space to wish you all a very happy Christmas!
Have a wonderful time.

WOYWW

 Well folks - I have made a start to my my Christmas cards - it still needs a bit doing to it but at least I have something to show on my desk today.

Annie and I watched the footie on tv last night to see Shrewsbury thrash Chelsea and only lose because our brilliant central defender scored an own goal in the last minutes of the game! ( A bit of creative writing there!)
Whilst watching all the big Chelsea stars like Drogba and Oscar being outwitted by our own stars, I even managed to stitch a few buttons on my little Christmas trees.

My other crafty activity of the week can be seen if you follow this link to my FB page.

It's a photo of Ben in his latest outfit.

Maxine wanted  a spider suit for Ben to wear to a halloween party so I whipped one up out of an old black skirt and kind aunty Annie even crocheted him a cobweb. Mad as hatters aren't we.

Hope you are all well and loving this mild Autumn weather (though not so for our Scottish friends I think).

Join in the WOYWW blog hop over at Julia's Stamping Ground.
Blogger has been playing up this week and I have found it impossible to leave comments on some blogs - so apologies if you are one of them.

Have a great week.

WOYWW - Boxing Day

 Good morning all - Happy Boxing Day!!
As you can imagine - no work going on here today.
I thought you might like to see my little festive basket and my Christmas tree instead.
Can you spot my two little angels and one of my scrapbox dollies?

Lastly, here is the little pirate bag I made for a special little boy.
I filled his bag with pirate themed gifts just for fun!
Hope you had a good Christmas Day.
I am not sure how many others will be blog hopping today.
Maybe Julia will let us all have a festive snoop so I will pop over and add my name to Mr linky's list when I can. See you later.
