This is such a wonderful time of year, made extra special for me this year as my mum will be joining me in the UK! But that also means I get to play the big grown up and am in charge of cooking The Meal. Gasp! Don't worry, it's under control, when I say 'cooking' I really mean supervising ( the boyfriend is the cook in our house!).
The tree is up, a real one of course, with the smell of pine and fresh forest wafting through the house. I've stocked up on the mulled wine (like I need an excuse) and sprinkled holly everywhere. Festive? Moi?!
A recent trip to the German markets (uh..in London) has got me in the spirit. The lights are up and the shoppers are rushing around for presents. I've been crafting a few treasures for the tree and house...
First up, I've made little decorations to hang, cut from wood into shapes. Originally I was going to hand paint them, but in the end chose to collage them instead. Here I've used an old map of London to add interest to the house, and Christmas wrap for the tree.
Next up, baubles for the window...
Your tree and decorations look just gorgeous! I'll see them SOOOOOON! Can't wait! xxxxx
