My little bit of this big World

Tuesday 24 December 2019

Christmas eve.

 This stitching comes out every year, it's well over 10 years old, but sadly I can't remember when I made it, hubby had it framed. I remember I loved stitching it, sadly I have not done much stitching in the past 2 years. 


Will is following in my footsteps and decorated this tree for his room, I forgot to show it before, I got a cheap tree shape and some green acrylic paint, I thought I was being clever and putting the second coat on thick to give it texture. Will did have problems in making the decorations stick, I have suggested we put a coat of clear varnish on top. 
My post have not been very festive this December, mainly because most of Christmas was sorted in November, before the birth of George. The past 4 weeks have been about little boy and baby cuddles, rather than rush everywhere shopping, I have enjoyed lunches with friends and family, we both have had a relaxing run up to Christmas.
We have both enjoyed opening our Advent Calanders, I love all my yarns, and hubby enjoyed his treats.
My brother Martin arrived on Sunday, we both love his company, and Christmas would not be the same without him. We have 8 for Christmas lunch including Will, so today we are doing as much prep as we can, ensuring tomorrow all we need to do is cook, eat and relax.
I hope you day tomorrow will be full of joy, family and laughter, Merry Christmas.

  1. Your cross stitch is quite beautiful, and perfect sentiments.

    Spending December with a new baby sounds far better than getting sucked into all the unnecessary commercialism that is forced upon everyone.

  2. What beautiful stitching, how lovely to be able to enjoy that each Christmas. It's nice to have things done early but then I do think you miss out somewhat in all the hustle and bustle, though it's nice to be able to just sit back and relax. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas.

  4. I love the stitching. My daughter does cross stitch and has given me several pieces. I treasure them.

    Will's tree is really cute. You've given me an idea I can work on for next Christmas

  5. Awww you stitching is delightful. Christmas is for spending time with the family. I get everything done during the year, so there's no need for December madness! All is quiet and peaceful here. Have a wonderful time. Best, Jane x
