These little folk also came to see what all the fuss was about...we really enjoyed ourselves with much laughter, chatting, lovely yummy food and there were pressies (forgot to take a piccie)
What have I been stitching??? Well I have been building a little house...
I decided this year that rather than be like a crazy person to get all the Christmas decorating done as I usually do and be totally exhausted, that I would go for Quality rather than Quantity and so I am going to decorate a few little areas with my favourite Christmas treasures, put up my Christmas tree with all the beautiful ornaments and memories that make my heart sing and enjoy them all.
So I have made a start...
Gingies of course!
I will share the other little spots with you as I get them done.
My husband still does not believe that this is possible! But I am now looking forward to creating a few special little displays.
I hope you all enjoy your week. I have a date with my pencils and sketchpad and my little cottage's garden.

Take care,

No wonder you're so relaxed and creative...it must be all the yoga! It will be lovely to watch your decorating unfold.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to start decorating on the weekend myself.
That Frangipani looks amazing and it looks like a great day was had by all.
ReplyDeleteOh yum, mince tarts! Now there are only two of us at home we don't put up our big tree, I have several smaller tabletop trees so each table can have its own little display.
ReplyDeleteThe silly season has begun...There goes the diet..<3
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful celebration of friendship and Christmas, Michelle. Making my mouth water with those mince pies and gingerbread, and love your Christmas display.
ReplyDeleteChristmas lunch looks fabulous. I love mince pies.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching to see if you can really keep your Christmas decorating down to a few displays. I'm with Mr. R on the scepticism here !
Sounds like the perfect luncheon feast, great food, great company.
