Christmas is almost here the decorations are up, the freezer full, the drinks cupboard flowing over and this is the last Handmade Monday until after the festivities (what will I do with myself for the next 2 weeks), when we can look forward to a New Year. Making resolutions we are so determined to keep but by the end of January they become a past memory.
I love a New Year always gets me invigorated thinking 365 days stretching ahead to fill with crafting and all kinds of Vintage visiting, in the blink of an eye only 8 days left and wonder what I have been doing all year. Crafting is all consuming takes you away from the day to day troubles surrounded in my case with fabric, lace, ribbons, pot pourri and more. Next year I am scheduling in fun time with visits to Betty and Violets open day's, The Packhouse Antique centre, Artisan Markets at Tweesledown, Lady Sew and Sew in Henley and anything else that just begs to be visited.

Got there have been frantically making stockings for the 3 of us, yes this does include the dog, hmpf!! any way finally finished today and quite happy not to see another stocking for another year. You will notice Shiloh's is already full and he has sniffed it out already, wonder how long will remain hanging.

"White Christmas"
Have a very Happy Christmas Crafters and hope your stockings are full of all your crafting dreams.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white
Christmas with you
Jingle Bells all the way, all the way
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

The year does tend to run away with you doesn't it! This year seems to have sped by at lightening speed though!
ReplyDeleteOur dog always gets a stocking, last year he found it and demolished it beforehand so this year extra care has been taken when hiding it!!
Have a very merry Christmas!
I can't wait for winter to be over and spring to come again. During the winter I put my head down and craft,craft,craft lol
ReplyDeleteYou are always so much ahead of me. Fancy already having plans for the new year! I can't get beyond Christmas .... Hope you have a lovely Christmas. xx
ReplyDeleteThe stockings are lovely - I always think they look quite exciting, when they are hanging waiting to be filled.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those stockings are soooooooo cute!! Well worth taking the time over as they will last you years.
