Sharing, More Decorating and Back to Treasure Hunting

I have to admit that working in the hospitality industry at this time of the year can be challenging but thankfully now we are in the home straight and there is time to sit back and relax a little more each evening.  As Sunday draws closer everyone in our household gets a little more excited not only about the day itself, but about the joy of spending time with our loved ones and being able to relax for the extended break and just enjoy being together. 

 Like other families each year our family grows and 3 of our children now have other families to share their time with too so christmas becomes a spread of get togethers on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Boxing Day.  Is it like that for your family too?

So many of you have kindly said how much you are enjoying seeing my quirky christmas decorating so I thought that I would show you a few more corners of my festive home.

Underneath my little crystal tree is a vintage barber's mirror which I often use to display different vignettes around my home.  The little tree catches the light and dances on the ceiling as the afternoon sun plays with it.

My little white christmas tree sits beside it decorated in pink and silver

Our dining table also wears christmas clothes

And a crystal and glitter encrusted christmas tree

Have you met my darling elf from previous years?  This year he is perched just inside our front door.

He carries his own bag of toys

And he is always the children's favourite.  How could they reist that face?

Before I go I wanted to show you some gorgeous items made from some of my patterns.  One of the joys of designing for me is the knowing of the pleasure that someone else gets  from creating one of my designs.  I love seeing what others have made so please keep the photo's coming.

The gorgeous Jeanette made 2 of these shabby hangers which were featured in Handmade Magazine earlier in the year as a swap gift for Shez.

Look at Carol from Florida's gorgeous version of Lorraine's Flowers.  Isn't it stunning?

If you look carefully you can see that it even sparkles.  This was published in Patchworking and Stitching a few months ago.

And look what Di made for her friends.  3 of my Christmas Recipe Folders

Thanks girls for sharing your creations.

Next time I'll be back with that tutorial that I promised you and I will show you some of the treasure I found today whilst treasure hunting.

Do you want a little peekat one of my treasures?  Oh okay then ......  You twisted my arm !!
