Busy as an elf :P

Hiii,

Although I am off college for my Christmas Holidays now I have been keeping myself super busy completing all the different activities I wanted to do from the list in last post and more!

This week I have done more work on my elf boot pattern and have managed to completely finish one of them:

 

Fully lined with glittery Christmassy coloured fabric too :P

 

 

Just the other one to stitch up now, which shouldn't be too hard since I have made one of them I now know the easiest way to do everything. I reckon I will have them on my feet by Saturday morning as I have some time to sew tomorrow evening and Friday morning- between work at the tailors/dressmakers and me and my friends Christmas party :D

 

Hehehe, then I really can run around like a mad, busy elf, lol!

 

Other festive crafting I am doing involves making 8 of the mini yule logs (from the pattern I posted up :) for when some family friends come round on Sunday, only 1/2 of one left to knit and then the making up/decorating to do:

 

 

I will definitely have them done!

 

Today I managed to wrap my first presents of the year- for my friends, ready for our party :D (and I made all my present labels for everyone):

 

 

And me and my dad made this sweetie tree:

 

 

Mmmm, yummy!

 

I am off now to go and relax in my bath now, with- you guessed it- Christmassy bubble bath in it! Heheh, then it is time to get back to working on those mini knitted yule logs so I can start on my next knitting project- cute Christmassy headbands for my little cousins :-)

 

See you all soon, I hope you are well :)

 

Bye xxx 

***12 Days Of Christmas Giveaway!!!!*** o<:0D

Hello,

Yes, yes, yes, the time has come around again for my Christmas Giveaway! Yay :-) As most of you will know I normally do a kind of advent giveaway, this year is similar but I have changed it up slightly- just to keep things fun!

 

This year I have chosen 12 gifts (some contain two little gifts combined, and some are a it bigger- so don't worry there is not less prize because it is only 12 parcels :P) One for each of the 12 days of Christmas! Then I started thinking, when actually are the 12 days of Christmas? The first 12 days of December, the 12 days before Christmas day? I don't actually know! Haha, that is why instead of writing 1, 2, 3 etc... on the wrapped gifts as I normally would I have instead decided to leave it up to the winner, they can select what surprise they want to open and also their own 12 days they want to open them on to make it most fun for them :-)

 

Here are all the little wrapped gifts:

 

 

As usual each one has a festive and crafty theme (so that you can put them to good use in your holiday knitting, sewing, crochet, cross stitch etc... projects :).

 

The Giveaway is open to anyone, any age, anywhere and all you have to do to enter is:

 

1. Be a follower (or become one :-)

2. And then leave a comment below containing some way to contact you if you win (e.g. a blog address, Ravelry name etc...)

 

And if you want a second entry.....

 

..... all you have to do is put up a link to this post, or my new folksy shop on your blog, or facebook page etc... and leave a link to the post in your comment below :D

 

**********

 

Entries close on the evening of the 22nd of November and the winner will be announced then as well.

 

Goooood luck to everyone!!! :)

P.s. here is what was in last years advent calendar giveaway- to give you a flavour of the type of things included in the 12 mini parcels :-):

 

 

P.s.s. I will of course after the giveaway and Christmas reveal what was in the parcels so nobody has to wonder forever- hehehe :-P

 

Bye again xxxoooxxx
