Yes, for the sake of cheerfulness and happy busy-ness, let's declare the Holiday Season open ! I don't know about you, but I don't see that time of the year like a hassle. That moment of the year goes by so fast, always, that I'm always ready to let it begin by the middle of November, if not earlier. Don't worry, we won't put the tree up now, but by the end of the month, I'm pretty sure it'll already be all set up !I have started working on holiday themed creations, and the first to make their (re)apparitions are ... the Gingerbread Felt Biscuits ! I had a blast making these, and plan to make lots more ! They are already in the { S H O P }.
I hand embroidered them and then machine sewn them.
I have also listed new Jam Jar Covers, and a little girl's Pink Little (wrist) Cuff, which is also hand embroidered, lined with linen, and has a layer of fleece for more comfort.
It's getting colder over here, which totally puts me in the mood for such things. I have seriously started browsing my own craft books to go Christmas gifts ideas hunting.
And I keep in a corner of my mind that I must make my Christmas/holidays cards very soon so that they will be posted around the end of the month.
In other news, hubby has a sinusite, and both the boys cough. I try to stay away from all these germs, but that's not easy. I hope YOU stay healthy & happy.
Have a great end of the week, dear friends ! Much love & cosy thoughts your way xoxo
I'm enjoying being busy for Christmas too Sonia. Getting lots sorted out, it feels nice to be ahead of things for once.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos as always. Hope all is well with you and yours xx
Oh, yes, I would put my tree up today, if I had the time.
ReplyDeleteHope your boys feel better soon.
Hope you guys feel better soon.I've been cooped up with a sick one for a few days-can't wait to get back to crafting!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful things at once Sonia. From afar the gingerbread biscuits looked real. Yummy. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all the little things you make. Each one is so lovingly crafted with such attention to detail. I think everyone needs a little cosyhomemaking loveliness in their stockings or shoes (st nicholas day) this year.
ReplyDeleteOoooh I tried to snap up that cuff but had a small pause while I measured my daughter's little wrist. . .should have bought it immediately. Your work is exquisite, Sonia!
ReplyDeleteThose little cookies are so so cute. Those are the kind we can all leave sitting out around the holidays and not gain an ounce.
ReplyDeleteI love your little cookies Sonia, they look yummy enough to eat! What fun they are. Do stay away from those pesky germs. Hope all your boys are feeling better soon. J x

ReplyDeleteYour biscuits are works of art! I hope your Christmas spirit rubs off on me! LOL
ReplyDeleteThose felt cookies are so precious Sonia! Oh, I'm so excited about the upcoming holiday season too. Me and my sweetie celebrate Thanksgiving this month, and then it's only a short time until Christmas. Christmas is my favorite holiday for sure. Hugs!
