my sweet heart

when this little parcel of off cuts arrived in the craft room I knew just what I 

wanted to make

 this little heart bringing me such joy...

stamp your heart out

I am determined that this Valentine's Day is not going to sneak up on me and catch me unawares...

what a hoot

Roll ups

After a loooong journey and another looong wait at the post office I was able to collect my Christmas cracker swap today. What a treat to open up and find all these goodies after Christmas is long forgotten....

Just look at all the wonderful things Sue from The Krafty Cupcake managed to pop in the roll:

Lucky lucky me :-)

Merry Christmas!

We had a lovely Christmas Day at the Beach. We managed to add a few more decorations to the rather sparse supply of Christmassy things here. 

The Girl made a diaorama:

an angel for the top of the tree

The Mother made mince pies...

some crochet pinwheels

Some snowflakes

some paper stars

And one lone crochet star

Not a bad haul all told....

A little wreath

We had to make do with what we could find in the garden to rustle up a quick wreath for the holiday house:

On the 16th day of Christmas....

We are surprisingly up to date with the Pom Pom Advent Tree....

Mostly because The Oldest was most intrigued by the Pom Pom Maker...

I have crocheted some of Lucy's snowflakes...

But the rest of them now need some starch treatment too..
