Especially to all you Ho-Ho-Ho hoppers!
First a huge thank you to Mme Sam and Carol for hosting yet another fabulous bloghop!
So, I had been procrastinating. A lot. More to the point; I didn't feel like Christmas lately. So I planned a week. A week with nothing else to do then
CHRISTMAS!
I started by compiling a list of what I would like to do this week. This involved much research..... I read through a pile of magazines and books, while stretched out in the sun.
Of course, this was the week that a genuine heatwave smothered our little country. Go figure. But, who cared about that, when inside the snow was falling and the log fire was burning. Well, metaphorically that is.
Not really! That would be silly.
Are you ready? Here we go.

| All the completed projects in a huge pile! |
Yes. All that in one week! I started of with some trees. Just to get in the spirit of things.
After the trees, I had to add some mice.
Both patterns were in a book by Tilda. Jul.
I love them!
Next came some birds. With bells. So they are pretty noisy! Five of them form the doorhanger.
Some Christmas baubles. I made four of these and they are HUGE! Both the birds and the baubles I found in Simply Vintage, the autumn 2012 publication.
Then, something to get the turkey out of the oven safely.... My own pattern (if you can call it that). There is a little bell on there, so everyone can hear when that big bird is done!
So, where there is an oven mitt there has to be an apron! I found an excellent tutorial for the apron
here.
And then lastely, the board. This is another pattern from Simply Vintage. The mistake you can see was completely mine.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my Christmas projects. I know I did. Go and see all the other hoppers today and make sure to let them know how much you love their projects!

Lots of love,
