Not much crocheting that I can show .I am knee deep in design and pattern writing .I have been desperately trying to get the house in Christmas mode. The tree is up ,the light around the house are twinkling , candles burning. I always have a pan on the fire that I add cinnamon sticks , clementine skins, a handful of cloves ,with a pint or so or water. I warm it up and house smells so Christmassy . I am going to start making my onion marmalades and pickles that I am going to gift. Busy .
I am sure you have noticed my little knitted Christmas Santa .He has been remade, the old one is over 26 years and had seen better days, so I had no choice but to remake one, funnily, no one has noticed he has changed, so that's good.
It's a busy time of year. I have a similar knitted Santa and a snowman too. They were both gifted to us by Mick's auntie many years ago, they sit on our Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteThat is a compliment in itself if they have not noticed, seems to me you are wonderfully in the Christmas spirit x
