With October almost at an end and Christmas fast approaching, it is time
to begin turning our thoughts to all things Festive. Mom, Nancy and I have been going through all
her and Granny’s old Christmas magazines the last few days, looking for some
fun projects to make over the coming season.
This weekend will see us older girls in the kitchen baking our Christmas
fruit cake. After having great success
last year, we have established the baking of our own Christmas cake as a firm
tradition. We’ll have to give some
thought to its decorating, though...
I started off this week with some festive sewing. The beautiful fabric reindeer ornament
featured in the December 2012 issue of Crafts Beautiful was the project I decided
to undertake and I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the process. My mom helped me with the finishing touches
as I am not 100% comfortable with attaching ears and eyes to any stuffed animal! As it is my little reindeer (which has been
christened Rosy) has to live with a terrible nose...
I used my gorgeous vintage fabric to make Rosy so you might say she is
quite a special reindeer...
With only ten more weeks left in
2013, I’d better get a move on with sharing the projects I tackled this
year! There are a few Christmassy ideas
coming this way very soon, so if you’re feeling a bit uninspired to start with
your festivities, be sure to take a look at the loveliness I have planned for
next week:-)
Do you celebrate
Christmas? If so, what is your favourite
thing about this season?

I've been so busy this past month that I just haven't gotten round to sharing more of my crafts, so they'll probably all come at once! Thank you for your comment, Sapphire! Love, Kelly xxx
