Christmas day itself was a little stressful for me, as this is the first year I have cooked Christmas dinner, we usually go to my mums but she had asked me if they could come here instead so I had dinner to cook for 7! Since then we have enjoyed calmer days playing with our new things.
I made a few gifts this year, which I think went down ok, the main thing was gift hampers filled with handmade bits, I made another batch of fudge for them, peppermint bark and popped in a jar of the Chutney I made at the end of Summer. Also added was a bag of Walnuts foraged in the Autumn and lastly a Mulled wine and cinnamon soap from my evening of learning to make soap
I also made several fabric Elf dolls
Not a gift but is being mostly given away due to there only being me that will eat Christmas cake, we made and decorated our own this year
I may not get a chance to post again until after the New Year so hope you all enjoy the rest of the holidays, Im off to find a tin of chocolates with my name on them ;-)
Lovely handmade things, Becky! I really like the look of your soaps.
ReplyDeleteDid you buy those chocolate snowflakes this year or last? I couldn't find any for sale this time.
Thankyou :-) the snowflakes are last years, I found them hiding in a draw while digging the cake decorating bits out and in a panic of what I was going to plonk on the cake to make it pretty they got used ;-)
