& so this is why I haven't been posting much over Christmas on my Blog, we've been rather busy with our, new friend, Mr Alfie..
He's an Italian Lagotto & you can find out more about this breed at The Lagotto Romagnolo Club of Great Britain He seems to be finding his paws rather well, & has met loads of friends & family over the festive season, all of which have made a complete fuss of him..... he still has that lovely puppy smell, & soft squishy paws....
Hello people... gosh I've been so busy, too busy in fact, to keep, up to date with my blog... there's a reason, & all shall be revealed shortly.....
In the mean time, I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas....
I'm now, in the process of writing many thank yous for all the lovely gifts I've received over these past few days,... it's also a good excuse to do some craft in font of the toasty open fire... Warm minced pie anyone.....?
In from the cold, making our home all Christmassy, hope you're enjoying the lead up to Christmas....?
Golly am 'cream crackered' this week, shouldn't moan but... can't wait to sit by the open fire, catching up with friends & family, eating yummy foods... have fun this weekend..XX
Love this wreath I bough today... fresh (as in real..!) warm berry tones & greenery, makes a change, from all those fake glitzy ones there seem to be in the shops at the moment...Wadda think..?
To anyone reading this please don't get too stressed with the build up to Christmas, try to enjoy the journey ...
Whilst I've spent most of my evenings, & a few Sunday afternoons, crafting away.. everything is now packed, priced & hung, all ready for the church Christmas fare, this Saturday, trouble is.....
Being a hairdresser, & a very busy one at that, especially this time of year.. James (that's my hubby), seems to get the job of carting, setting up, & standing selling, all my bits a bobs... to tell you the truth all the ladies love him....!!
Think there's homemade sausage rolls, & mince pies passed around too, which does help.... I'm a lucky girl...
(these pictures where taken in the salon window, the giant cones were gathered by my kind mother & father-in-law , & I've scented them in an oil called 'grandmothers kitchen'... which is a mixture of baked apples & Cinnamon it does fill the salon with Christmas........)
Has any one put their tree up yet..?
Getting in the festive spirit, well trying to put a positive spin on it (the news is so depressive...) ... I know this will be a very difficult Christmas, for many, & I don't believe it has to cost the earth to decorate the home, I've cut rosemary out of the garden, & made small wreaths, & recycled some of my candles, where I've photocopied an image & pasted it around the candle with jute I found in the kitchen drawer...
Why do I feel a song coming on...!? Soaps all wrapped up...
For all those thank you's after Christmas.....
