Up to my tonsils and doing my best not to drown at the minute - I have a date with magiceight in January to do the cushion covers :o). She has a new sewing machine and we're going to give it a bash. At the minute I have finished re-painting a mirror frame from silver to gold and re-inforced it and hung it in my entrance hall. Very chuffed with it (mostly with the securing and strengthening) and it looks well there.

Picked a skip load of holly from the garden and decorating the house, putting up trees. Also making Christmas tree decorations which people seem to think I have bought (so am quite pleased with them). In fact I received teh ultimate compliment: my eldest (12) has given me a list of her school friends and asked me to make them each one for Christmas gifts. I am covered in matchpot paint and running out of fineliner but the curtain rings and ribbon are looking much less like what they started life out as :o). I will post pics soon because they have turned out to be really cute little things. 19 done and another 40! to go.
