a happy christmas

Have a wonderful Christmas whatever you are doing today!

christmas is coming...

I've been feeling quite Christmassy over the last few days, buying gold ribbon and stars and little silver bells to use for wrapping gifts, sorting out the Christmas decorations for the tree, hanging a holly wreath on our front door and even making a batch of mince pies. 

 

Merry Christmas!

shop update

Just a little etsy shop update for you. I've added a few more handmade lace beaded brooches, of which I have also made a selection for my Christmas exhibition in Woodstock. I've made a dusky pink one for myself too, now pinned on to my cardigan. I now need to start thinking about Christmas present shopping...or Christmas present making!

Are you ready for Christmas yet?

let it snow

 

The weather has turned cold and frosty with icy white skies and bare sparkly trees.

It definitely feels like Christmas is coming....so it's a good job I have finished making all my handmade Christmas cards. I've loved finding all the special pieces to decorate them, from vintage postcards, old music sheets, lace and buttons and giving them a final dusting of gold glitter. 

 

I have a selection for sale in my Etsy Shop , and also at the Old Fire Station Shop in Oxford

 

I hope you like them...
