Perfect Weather..........

Christmas day has been and most of the UK is bathed in snow, here in the North we have had snow for over a week now, and sub zero temperatures. It was lovely waking up on Christmas morning to see it still around.. The sun shone all day with bright blue skies. We went out in the morning, deciding not to take the car out, instead opting for a short walk down by the old church and across the snowy covered fields. It was mighty cold but we soon warmed up, it took about an hour just long enough to work up an appetite for lunch.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas .......

It is late and Christmas Day is nearly upon us ........




Here's wishing you all a Happy and Peacefull time.

Christmas Decorations......

Decorating the tree yesterday took most of the evening. I took time off to watch the Strictly Ballroom final, I have been following the show all season and was so pleased Chris and Ola won. A triumph for the underdog. Anyway back to our tree....... now finished

Below are some of the some decorations I have made this year

for my new paper Christmas tree.......

The paper snowflakes hanging at my studio windows are great to make and very addictive.

The idea came from a fellow blogger http://bugsandfishes.blogspot.com/2008/12/snowflake-curtain.html check it out, they are so, so simple to make and look fab. We had our Christmas Breakfast/Lunch at work last Friday and I got a few of the girls making them. All you need is paper, pencil and scissors, and something round for a template. I now have another stash to stitch and hang, so I must get on.

December Song.......

The Christmas tree has been bought, we went to a local Country Hall where you take your own saw and are directed into a field full of Norway Pine Trees. We were lucky as we found one we both liked straight away, not too much squabbling this year, within minutes it was down and voila, in the car . It only cost us £16 and we got a free cup of coffee in the tea rooms.


Must get it inside as it is snowing heavily,hopefully back tomorrow with it decorated in all its glory. I will leave you with a song I am liking at the moment.
