It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

 
 
1. An amazing handmade card from my talented friend Leanne.
2. Christmas tree.
3. My first attempt at hand embroidery; I'm pretty pleased with it.
4. Decorating the fireplace.
5. Old Christmas decorations make great trimmings for gifts.
6. An incredible origami star, made for me from photocopied pages of the Christmas chapter of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.  I just about cried when I saw it!

  1. That origami star is such a thoughtful idea. And loving the hand embroidery - something I'd love to try but have never got round to!

    1. I was surprised how easy it was - if you can do a simple backstitch, you can definitely manage this. It took a while, but was perfect to do while I was ill in bed.

  2. I especially like the decoration made from Perks of Being a Wallflower - and the lovely photo of it. But mostly: THE TILES IN YOUR FIREPLACE! I love them!

    1. I'm pretty sure you've rhapsodied over those tiles before! They are fab, aren't they?
