There is still stitching happening in my sewing room sporadically, and as I'm still working on a couple of Christmas gifts, I can't share just now - but if I remember to take a picture before I frantically wrap them up, I'll share the end results.
One thing that has entertained me (often late at night) is that I have discovered some wonderful home decorating/house blogs. And I really love them!
This one is my current favourite: That Old House
So much fun to peek into other peoples homes, and great inspiration for decorating my own.
Since I don't have any quilty loveliness to share, I thought I'd show a couple of Christmassy things.
Though it's nothing like the fabulous vignettes you'll find around blogland, this is what you see on my china cabinet in the front entryway. You'll find Nutcrackers all over the house - I went mad for them last year. The Mikasa Santas have been with us for a long time, and some day in the future I will find the creamware Nativity scene. You just can't rush these things.
Each year I add new decorations to the tree, and though I purchased many more, here are some of my favourites. Three birds came home with me from the Christmas shop on Goodwood Road. I should have purchased more - they're adorable.
And three of these adorable Faberge style eggs. They open up to reveal a little treat inside ... though mine are 'treat free' today - who knows what Christmas day will bring?Today I'm doing chores around the house to get ready for the big day - and I'll probably dash to the store for a couple of last minute things. Tomorrow Mum and I are setting the table, and Friday I'll be doing the grocery shopping. We have 12 coming for Christmas lunch, and everyone is bringing something - so I predict it will be a wonderful and relatively stress free day! xox

You shouldn't have! As an addicted blog reader off course I went over to That Olde House.......and loved it! Added it to my favourites immediately....as if I don't spend enough time on blogreading allready...
Anyway, at the top of your blog you have a meter showing weight loss...is that for real? Weight that you want to loose?
Your decorations are lovely, Tazzie! And I'm still working on a few gifts in the 'stewdio' too. :) I'm like Sandy---you really shouldn't have posted that link.....;)
Sounds like you'll have quite the crowd at your house for Christmas. What fun! I enjoyed seeing some of your holiday decorations. The little bird is adorable.
Merry Christmas!
