derek's dreamin' of a white christmas.......

 

well....the big day is looming and despite attempts to be a very organised elf this year, a few things are still to be done...but no worries, only I will notice if they're not ready in time :)

the trees are up and the house is feeling festive.....

....a little dusting of snow helped with that this morning,

Derek has gone white for christmas...I couldn't help it... I was painting the table and looked up...suddenly I was attacking his antlers and there was no going back :) I think he suits it.... 

so....we are looking forward to some family time, relaxing, catching up with friends, drinking snowballs....might even be able to sneak off to the shed for a bit of calm and some crafting. I have been drawing a lot lately and I'm hoping to combine that with my love of illustration, I have a lovely little stash of fabrics ready to be turned into new bags,cushions and bundles :) so I'm looking forward to a busy 2012 :)

that just leaves me to wish you a very...

 and a wonderful...happy new year.....hope you get all you wish for :)

Just another quick post today, to share a christmas fave........quite a few years ago, when the boys were tiny, I wandered into Woolies and came out with a cheap christmas video, I had never heard of it before but the picture on the case swung it....I took it home, we all watched and there began my total love affair with J.Otto Siebold and Olive the other Reindeer....

Years on its still my favourite christmas film/book. I even have the pop up advent calendar and our dog (see last post) bears an uncanny resemblance to Olive. All his books are amazing.........pop one on your christmas list if its not too late x x x x x

Stay warm :)
