I hope you all had a lovely Christmas or festive season this year
It's not been so nice out there recently... The grey gloom reminds me that January is almost here and all the twinkly decorations will soon be gone, my least favourite thing.

Without a doubt staying indoors is the best plan but we're going to have to venture out later, although we'll be spending it in someone elses indoors so that's ok.
We spent Christmas down at my parents this year. I treated myself to a Christmas Cactus and inevitably it flowered while we were away, but it still looks lovely! I made a fairly nice table setting although as usual forgot to take any photos of us!
Some of my favourite decorations came down from the loft. I love unboxing them and remembering the things put away from years ago which I'd forgotten about

And some new!
Last year I made this for my mum but completely forgot to take any photographs of it. I can't remember where I first saw it but I've been able to trace the design back to this blog and discovered she has loads more adorable embroidered hoops! I'll definitely be making some of these for the house...
I think there's just time for one last cup of tea before getting ready to face the cold and New Years Eve! Stay safe & keep warm!
