I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Hi all!, Well no I haven't really planned anything for Christmas as yet but today here in the UK! it's all grey and gloomy and dark and cold and really windy! and it's absolutely freezing!... so today I have been thinking of a few Christmas ideas and pressies all over in my head!!!.... whilst all snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket/throw over wrap around me! Oh gosh I'm SO Excited!!!!! xxxxxx
Just brought myself a sewing machine and going to be attempting to make some Christmas sock monkeys
I guess you can make it as hard or easy as you want. This is my first quilt - so it is a VERY easy design. I'm actually using my 19 year old's old teeshirts! When in high school she was involved in a Self Defense program. The program has been running for 20 years and she has the third highest wins of all time. She got a teeshirt for each level accomplished. She has over 2500 wins and 49 teeshirts. I cut 14 inch squares from the fronts and backs of each shirt. The shirts are extremly colorful and the backs describe the level each shirt represents. I will post a photo when done!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I haven't done much in the way of actual decorations but I went to my local Bath&Body Works (candles, room fragrances, and body care) and picked up a bunch of their refills for a scent diffuser. A lot of them are more autumn themed, but I did pick up a couple of Gingerbread scented ones I'm going to hold onto for after Thanksgiving. This year is going to be the first year I get a real tree in my bedroom. It's possibly going to be smaller than my fake tree but I'll get the genuine real tree smell!

I have seen the Autumn collection for Yankee candle so i got really excited about that...oh the simple things
Yes, I've somewhat started. I always start to get the itch around this time of year (I know, it's early). I just can't help myself. I'm always looking for new Christmas decor and recipes. I bought a new ornament last month.
