RED

They look pinkish but they are red. Actually red and white but I thought these Christmas throws, angel etc would pass for red as today's picture.

Fairy made from this book.

Favourite Christmas Movie

We all love this and enjoy watching it every year.

December photo a day challenge.

Well lets give it a try but I'm promising nothing. The challenge is to post one photo a day through December.
Here is day one.
A chocolate house I made which will be sold to raise money for the Girls Brigade Kenya trip. Please excuse the mess in the back ground.

Busy, busy

Well I've had a busy few weeks. We went up to York and met with Hannah, Ron and Carter for a day of Christmas shopping and a meeting with a Star Wars Storm trooper.

I've been busy knitting and have made several different styles of woollen hat for the winter. I've also made the table centres for the church coffee shop tables - ready to go out in December.

They are cheap and cheery decorations using sock snowmen in decorated jam jars.

Reindeer noses to sell in the church.

Christmas Wrapping.

I'm determined to be more organised this Christmas. I'm wrapping presents as I buy them so spent a pleasant hour or so looking for ideas for Christmas present wrapping.

Some of the nice ones I found.

Travels

What a hectic few weeks. We had a busy but restful holiday in Scotland visiting Oban, Staffa, Iona, Mull and finishing off with a few days at my sister's cottage in Lochgoilhead. We stopped off at my mums in Edinburgh on the way back, then stopped again at York to visit my daughter and family. The next week Hannah came to visit and we had some girly time shopping and chatting.

Also another excuse to go on a carousel - one of the many joys of being a grandma!!
