Christmas

We had a nice relaxed christmas and boxing day with family. We did the usual and played lots of games, filled ourselves with far too much chocolate and festive food and of course lots of wine. The Apple and Cranberry Christmas Chutney was a success, everyone seemed to like it at our christmas party with the cheese selection. I got lots of lovely presents this year, including a few beautiful books, which I will blog about at some point. I'm enjoying some well deserved time off work this week, roll on new year's eve!

Cushion Crafts

Dear Santa, please could I have my very own owl cushion for christmas. I have seen many owl pillows in shops recently, they are definitely very popular, but there is something so wonderful about these hand crafted cushions. It is such a shame they are not for sale! I found these on The Pioneer Woman website. I would love to be talented enough to put together my own cushions from scrap materials and crafts. My friend Becki is very good at that, and is currently putting together her own hand crafted christmas decorations. You can see an example of her christmas tree decoration below. These beutiful crafts are for sale, you can view them on her blog here. http://rebeccagarrod.blogspot.com/
