Christmas trimmings.

We have decided to go minimalistic this year with the trimmings.  This is the porch decorations.  A joint effort. I cut the branch from an Acer in the garden, when it was dry enough hubby sprayed and block mounted it.  Katie and I made the stars from salt dough. and the baubles were approx 50p's worth from a local store.  We were pleased with the outcome. I hope you like it too

Update on my 365 day challenge.

Well its been quite a productive week and I have been very good with my 365 day challenge. I had one very slight lapse however!! Hubby and I went away for the weekend. Unfortunately in the rush to leave we only packed half of my clothes. While I managed to get around most of the items, I had to buy some socks and undies. Andy assured me that he would take the purchases into consideration when planning my Christmas present. So it looks like Santa's sack wont be quite so full this year!!
The challenge has given me lots of ideas for xmas presents so I have been crocheting and looking at recipe books. Cant give too much away as I know my mum looks at my blog and I don't want her to know about the multi coloured knitted socks !!
