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.

Christmas Eve

Well folks I have managed a daily advent blog and I am quite pleased with my effort.

Today one of Maxine's silk painted angels is heralding the birth of a special baby.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the whole world felt the love and joy of the birth of that baby and could live in peace and harmony.



Have a happy and peaceful Christmas

You can never have enough robins!!

Day 23  Advent  countdown

We love robins in our family.

They are such cheery little birds and are always present in my garden.

This little robin was on the front of Annie's Christmas card last year.

I think she scanned her little cross stitch picture and then printed it on canvas paper.

It looks so lovely mounted up on her lacy bits and bobs.

See you tomorrow

Advent day 22

This was my Christmas view last year.
This weekend its just cold wet and gloomy and certainly not as beautiful as this.
I don't think the forecast is for snow so we will make the best of this festive scene instead.

See you tomorrow.

Advent day 21

Day 21  Advent  countdown

When two of my Yorkshire friends came to stay I taught them how to dumf (needle felt).
They loved it so, I packed little bags of wool rovings and yarns and sent them home to have fun. Even now, they still get together for a little dumfing session and really enjoy it.
The little shepherd above was made by one of them and sent to me as my Christmas card this year. How special is that? I love it - thanks Pat!!!

Not many sleeps left till Christmas.
Have a fun filled few days finishing off your preparations.
