The morning is wiser

than the evening.

-Russian proverb.

It's 9am and I'm still slouching around in my PJ's...something

I don't usually do. I thought Imay as well share a few photo's with

you before I start my day.

Darling Heather has put me onto these cute little

knitted Christmas puddings.

Christmas pudding

They are all over her house and they caught my eye. I made the

first pudding and though hmmm....there's lots of bits I'm going to have to
sew in. The pudding is knitted in 8ply and I had loads of brown yarn

 but when it came to the custard topping I onlyhad 4 ply. I doubled the

 yarn and kept knitting. I have since found some 8 ply in the custard

colour and have used that instead of the doubled 4 ply yarn. I am now
 hooked (thank you very much Heather) and can't stop making them.

The pattern can be found in an old edition of

One of my favourite magazines!!

Handmade Volume 24 Number 12.

True to my word I have continued to spring clean whilst on holidays.

More cleaning

 I am very proud of myself as I can usually find a stack of other

things to do instead of housework!!! Still in the Christmas mood I have
made a little Christmas holder to put sweets in and this will be a gift for
someone.

 

 

A Christmas gift

I have no pattern I'm afraid, I just made a cone shape

and went for it. Influenced from a recent trip to a craft shop

 I made this little journal-come-paper holder. I don't know about

you but I have a million photocopied projects that are

 scattered allover the place. I have made this holder to keep all

 my copied patterns together.

Just love Debbie Mumm material

I will probably make another one for sewing patterns too. I had this
fantastic piece of Debbie Mumm material given to me and just the

right amount I needed to make my project. A pic of my most favourite dessert
at this time. I've added mixed berries with the most yummiest yoghurt around.

The yoghurt

comes in a big container and we buy it in a big container with the

intention that I share it with my hubby. Poor thing.....never gets

to have any, I eat it all. Oopps!

Have the best day without a care in the world.

Cheers, Anita.
