So, today saw my little girls home for the holidays. Christmas is almost here!I had planned (but failed) to make lots of gifts for family and friends. Sorry, everyone! At the start of the summer this year, I took the plunge and decided I would try and see if I could succeed at doing something I loved - and to see if anyone liked what I did and maybe even buy something! It has been a HUGE learning curve, but I have loved every second...even these past few weeks, when I've been busier than I ever imagined I would be. This has been so much fun - so much so that sometimes I've found it difficult to switch off and walk away!
Christmas is a lovely time of the year, for us all to be together, for family moments - and so, I'm going to take a blog break for several days. As Anna said, over at Half an Acre - I want to sit with the children and make paperchains (yep, I found some gorgeous spotty ones I'm desperate to put together - with the girls' help, of course!)!! Sorry there won't be a Shopping List this week (but please do check out the other Etsy sellers, and buy handmade this Christmas!); I leave you with a photo of our sugar scenes in jam jars, that are gracing our landing windowsills.
I wish you a Very Merry Christmas - I hope you have very full stockings!!

So happy to have "met" you and love checking in and reading your blog. I wish you many cozy moments this Christmas.
So happy I found your Blog. I have fond memories of spending my wedding anniversary in the forest, in a little cottage near Coleford, where we snuggled up in front of a log fire, while it snowed outside. I love your work and look forward to visiting throughout 2009, love Kath www.railwaycottage.blogspot.com
