Christmas Crafts

 

I’m really early on this one but I am just so damn excited about Christmas! I think it has a lot to do with the fact that this year will be my first year with a place to decorate. Plus it’s my first Christmas living together with Miles … so it’s pretty special. I have been crafting my heart out trying to make some unique and special decorations. Now I am not the best crafter out there so when I set my self a challenge it takes me a while to complete as I am lacking in the skills – however after 8 hours of stitching and felting I finally made a Christmas Russian doll. She’s not perfect, but after all that time and effort she’s going on the tree no matter what (faults and all). 

 

 

I have also been making lots of felts hearts, they only take 45 or so to make! It will be interesting to see how all these creations turn out, or if I ever get the time to finish the all by Christmas?! Miles and bought our first decorations yesterday and I got so excited I wanted to put them up straight away – obviously I was restrained, it was hard. I can wait to get a tree and decorate it! Is it just me, is anyone else out there excited by Christmas coming?

    Come on Lj you know I would never touch tinsel! Even my forward thinking Mum banished that stuff in the early 90′s (it’s heyday). I’ll be crafting till Christmas. Fireworks are over-rated, he he!
