Hope you all had a Happy Christmas and Santa left all the presents you wanted under the tree. Ours was low key as normal being only 2 of us plus 1 dog but we did what we wanted to do.
Well we all survived the 21st December and the world is still here although in some areas not a better place. My thoughts went out to the families in Conneticut after the dreadful tragedy which should never have happened.
A New Year and a new start, new horizons and so many opportunities for me in 2013.
As mentioned before I love a New Year and between Christmas and the 1st always find this is the time I sit and plan for the following year, some ideas I had I have dropped others I have kept but one thing I do know am going to do it my way.

As you know September was my gift making month for Christmas and can now show you what I created:
A Leicester tigers fan, added some M & S bits, apparently it went down really well and he loves it.
Lee's cousin, again with M & S goodies
Christine who loves to read and chocolate, having moved to The Cotswolds this year thought a savings box for her choccie fund plus a book bag with some mystery books based in the same area.
Kim a very special friend a rose linen bear holding a heart with her initial and a couple of tipsy snowmen for the card, photo of the card but forgot to take a pic of the bear before wrapping and posting.
A pillow for a parsons terrier fanatic
There were a few more but as usual forgot the camera action, New Years resolution list to remember to photograph what I make.
As you can see our present list is small but I hope perfectly formed. I would rather give to select people rather than the whole street and not having children and the fact we are now both orphans does cut the numbers down a tad.

Sometimes it's hard to remember to snap all the creations when you need to consider postage times and other crafty exploits.
ReplyDeleteI'm always very impressed by your skills but I have to say that cushion is adorable!

DeleteHi Caroline - I've found you as part of the Wow blog linky thing. I now feel a bit embarressed about the bland gifts given to my friends and rellis. Happy New Year.
