Mario and I got our first real Christmas tree this year, to celebrate our first Christmas as a married couple. It smells so lovely, although I have to admit I keep worrying about it dying before Christmas, especially with a heat wave predicted in the next few days! So far it is as lush and green as the day we brought it home though. :) Continue reading
On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
I crocheted this sweet little guy from an awesome pattern by K4tt on Ravelry. He was a very easy and fun last 12 days of Christmas project. :)
Merry Christmas Eve eve! I’m about to fall into a Christmas coma from all the crafting and planning I have been doing today. BUT, I finished my second last project, and I am so pleased with it! I hope you like it too. :)
On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….
I finished work today, woo hoo! It was a great day actually, I felt very full of Christmas spirit. We watched The Santa Clause tonight while I worked on this glitter tree decoration. I hadn’t seen it in years, it was really nice. :)
On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….
3 days until Christmas! We’re at the pointy end now! Mario and I managed to knock out the last few presents we wanted to buy today, so I’m feeling pretty on top of things – how about you?
Today’s project is, without a doubt, my favourite Christmas project I’ve done. I’ve been working on it for a few weeks now, and it feels wonderful to be finished!
On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….
I know, I know, this blog is late. It’s Sunday. If I wish you a happy 8th day of Christmas, I will be lying. I don’t care though, I’m going to wish it anyway. Happy 8th day of Christmas!
I have a very good excuse for being late though – our recipe for today (yesterday) was something I made to take to my Mum’s Christmas party last night! It was a raging party and we didn’t get home until after 2am, so by then it was already too late…
Anyway, with the benefit of being able to see the ‘future’, I can honestly tell you that this ham was a HIT. The entire 5 and a half kilos of it was devoured in no time – I couldn’t believe it. A bunch of people asked for the recipe, and (although you should never admit this!) it was nice to be able to tell them how easy it was. Continue reading
Happy 7th day of Christmas! Is this your last day of work before the holidays? I’ve been madly scrambling today, trying to get everything done so I don’t need to go in to work on Monday! My brain feels like mush! Continue reading
Wow, we are officially half way through what has become a really awesome challenge. It has certainly been a bit of a scramble finishing a new craft every day, but I have managed to complete so much more than I ever expected! Here’s a little recap of what we’ve seen so far… Continue reading
Today’s post is a little on the late side because I have been crafting like a mad thing all day! I mean, except when I was working… Anyway, let’s get to it!
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
Fourth day of Christmas, ahhhhh! Where is the time going?? It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it’s going by way too fast!
I wanted to share this recipe with you today because these cookies are the perfect thing to take along to a holiday party – they look impressive (which is why we do this, right?) and they taste DELICIOUS. They are soft and buttery, without being too heavy. I’ve never been a huge fan of shortbread, but these cookies have converted me. Continue reading
I can do that!
