Can I squeeze one more festive post in ?

I know I said Merry Christmas and see you all soon yesterday but I had this urge to do one teeny tiny festive post before we go to Brighton. So can I share a few photos with you?

Firstly this amazing centre piece for our Christmas table that Alice made yesterday at her art workshop. We just love it's natural festiveness...


a few little stocking pressies with twine and vintage Santa pictures a friend sent from Switzerland


Alice and I started the little tradition of filling a little box each year of fun little things, mostly handmade and "free" from nature or whatever crafty bit we have in the house and here is her box top I made last night, I'm sure she will be thrilled with it and all the bits and bobs I have filled it with.

We open these on Christmas eve and it's a little mummy - daughter thing xox




And last but not least a very quick fesive last minute ta da crochet moment ... an idea that came to mind last night when staring at the bare candles burning on the mantle piece


I thought they needed a little festive red jacket, some ribbon and holly and I was best pleased with the result, a very quick and easy thing to do if you have any time before Christmas xox


I'm off now to finish off our homemade crackers...wishing a Wonderous Christmas for you all
