First I am thinking of that terrible shooting in the USA , my
thoughts and prayers go out to all the people affected by it.
Lots of hugs to anyone who needs them too.
Hi bloggers, just a few Christmas 'bits' I have made recently
to show you today.First some candy name places I made for
our Xmas table, made quite a lot as there will be 7 or 8 of us here
on Xmas day and 9 of us on Boxing day...oh my! but here are just a
few to show you.Here are some of the Rendeer's noses I made for
the table. I usually wrap little table pressies but I think these may
do instead this year.Also some pretty soaps I made as pressies,
( we just give each other handmade things now except for the
babies of course).The soaps here are Lavender & almond oil,
also Honey,oatmeal & shea butter.I have made some Cucumber
and almond oil soap today and will make some Lime and
lemongrass soon.I am also making some Lime, mandarin and basil
soap and matching bath wash too, ( thinking of that lovely Jo
Malone stuff with the last one).I may make lip balm and candles
at a later date also.I will pretty the soaps up using some cellophane
wrap and ribbon and tags later of course and may include a nice
white flannel too. Raspberry jam to make this afternoon also, with
our homegrown raspberries from the freezer, for more 'gifts'.The
homemade lager and homemade elderberry wine is coming on a
treat too thanks to my OH. Lots of labels for 'stuff' I must do as
well yet. Soooo much to do yet arghhhh. At least I am feeling better
today after my fall, thankyou to everyone who asked about me.
Right of to finish making lunch then onto the jam making me thinks.
More pics of Xmas stuff as I do them maybe.
Have a good Sunday everyone whatever you are doing :)
