Christmas Decorations

These are some tree decorations. I have had these decorations for years and look forward to getting them out year after year. I adore the gold apples and pears and they look really pretty when they shine from the white lights. I must admit I am not keen on colored flashing Christmas lights. Also I am not a fan of flashing lights you put on your house, every time I prefer plain little white lights every time.







I love this little dog it is my sons, you can put sweets in the stocking, so cute.







I had this nativity stable for a present last year. My son loves it probably because they all have smiling faces.



These lights are also a favourite of mine, it looks lovely on the window sill.

I made this heart just recently, the gold is embroidered and it took a while. I have given it away as a present. I will have to make another for myself, it is so pretty. I started making one with the wording "let it snow".

I am about ready for Christmas, just need to another food shop and that is it. I always leave the vegetables and fruit until a few days before. I store them out in the box in our garden room as they last longer in the cold, there is not enough room in my fridge. I find with the central heating they don't seem to last long. Also need to do some wrapping but that won't take long.

Kirstie's Homemade Christmas

Last night watched Kirstie's Homemade Christmas, it is a three part series. The last one is on tonight at 8.00pm on Channel 4. I really enjoyed it and it has inspired me to get on and make my own christmas cake and mince pies. Also fancy having a go at making some feastive decorations. But as we all know time does permit, but nice thought.

Fancy having a go at making a Christmas Stocking like this one. My little one watched it with me but he should have been in bed. He was inspired as well and wants to make salt dough decorations. We may have a go at the weekend for abit of fun. We made them a few years ago and baked them in the oven but they didn't bake hard enough and fell apart. This recipe uses the microwave. Has anyone else had any success?

The picture above shows what they will be making tonight. I am looking forward to seeing it again.

Have a look at this site gives all the details of the programme.

Did anyone else watch it?
