Final Christmas Creations

This is my last post for the festive season.
Here are some of the gifts Pete and I created for our families...

I had a go at growing some hyacinth bulbs. I started them at the end of October, in the hope they'd be in flower by Christmas.... as you can see they weren't, but they were still well received anyway - have been promised photos for when they bloom!


After so many people comenting on my 'Pete's Chocolate chewy morsels' (see previous post for recipe) I decided to make a few tasty gifts. Now these went down a storm!! Only thing was I didn't make any for my sister, but I had made some for her husband - Note to self Louise likes chocolate and John doesn't like to share :-o It was entertaining never the less!!


Christmas Day was spent at The Williams household, half of which work in finance. This in mind Pete and I created some FT Times crackers, including individual 'designer' FT hats! They went down a storm. The only snagg was that on Christmas Eve, Pete's dad told his favorite xmas jokes!! All of which Pete had put in the crackers :D The good old ones never tier.

"How does the snowman get about?"
"On his iclicle!"


Here are the Christmas cards that we sent out this year. We made them using a "merry christmas' stamp, that Pete designed on the inside and an image I'd retouched & comp'ed together. Doesn't that Robin look merry & well fed!

Merry Christmas to all.
Hope you all had a fab day!!

December Equals Decorations!!


This year we decided to get a christmas tree and create a few other things to help make the flat look more festive.
We wanted to try and stay away from the tinsel side of things and try some new ideas..
Here is one of the tree decorations I found from a great shop in Shoreditch called 'Caravan'. It's a great little shop with lots of unique objects and items, I could've bought a lot more but i managed to restrain myself. http://www.caravanstyle.com/


We even managed to get some of the presents wrapped too. Pete got another stamp made at 'Blade Rubber' and we used it on the tags and paper - plus lots of ribbon.


I've also done a few tags with cutout too. Pritstick rules!!




My fav decoration - the star!
I made this star using bambo and cable ties, and lots of fairy lights. I have to say, I'm pretty chuffed with the results :D


Happy decorating!
